Nioxin to prevent hair loss??

I have so much freaking hair that it is nice I have lost some and I am not looking forward to it coming back LO> But if it gets to extreme, this is something I could try, so thanks so much for your post.

i had been using nioxin for a couple of years before my surgery....i had already suffered with hair loss due to a vitamin d deficiency diagnosed several months before my surgery.  my vitamin d level was normal when i had surgery and i thought maybe....just maybe i'd dodge the "hairloss" bullet!  NOPE!!!  at 4 months post op the REAL hair loss started.  oh....it was soooo bad!  then...at 7 months post op.....just a few weeks ago.....the hair loss stopped!  i also take biotin for my hair and nails.

the nioxin is a wonderful product!  it's very good for your hair!  but....the word is....we can''t prevent hairloss but all these products certainly help with the new growth!  and...the hair loss is temporary...i got a haircut last night and my hairdresser says that i have tons of new growth coming in!!  WOOHOO!!!

best wishes to you!!

So should I start using the Nioxtin right after surgery or wait until I start experiencing hair loss?  I am scheduled for surgery on 2/15!!!! 

Could anyone share if there has been any long term success with any of these products?

I already had thinning hair PRIOR to my RNY.  I have used Nioxin in the past and I did like it but now I use Bosely and like it much better!  There is NO hair in the drain every day.  I have no idea what will happen later when the RNY hair loss begins but I will let you know if this helps!

Good luck to you!
