Hair loss

when does the hair loss end? I'm 5 months out and have been losing it pretty bad for a month now. I'm grateful I had a full head of hair to start with. Otherwise I'm pretty sure I'd be bald at this point.

My hair loss slowed down dramatically at 8-9 months post-op.

My hair loss didn't start until about month seven. Am almost at twelve months out and it is still very much an issue for me.

My hair has never been this thin and it is really hard to style because it just wants to hang flat. Am going to ask my hair dresser to increase the layers in my hair cut to make it look a bit more full.

No advice here, as I'm pre-op, but I worry about this too. My hair is already naturally thin.

biotin will help

My hairloss stopped at 5 months out

Biotin may help with the regrowth, but it will NOT stop the hair loss.

As well, the FDA published a statement in Nov 2017 that Biotin can interfere with hundreds of common lab tests. So I'd be cautious about using it for hair loss.

My hair loss started at about 6 months. It killed me to see the enormous wads of hair I was losing daily, it was horrible. It lasted for about 6 months and I think I'm done, but who knows. I had super thick hair to start and I've lost at least half. It's really noticeable to me, but no one else thinks it is. I have a ton of regrowth from 1/4 inch to 2+ inches all over and while I'm grateful it's growing back - it's weird.

Mine started at 3 months, was worst from 3-6 months, regrowth started with continued but not as bad loss until month 8, then just all regrowth from that point. I reached my goal at at 8.5 months and increased my calories then, which along with no longer losing helped.

Hang in there! Many times I thought I would end up bald at some point as it continued to fall out, but I never got to that point.

my hair loss started at about 4 mos post op and went to about month 8 or 9. Really sucks. But it does come back.

One thing I want to mention is my Ferritin (Iron stores) was drastically low and I didn't know it was. Once I started to get Iron infusions my hair and nails changed dramatically, took about 6 months but my hair is thicker and healthier now as well as my nails.
