Does anyone have any special products they used to prevent the hair loss?  I have heard of Nioxin shampoo, Biotin pills and this new one, Ovation Cell Therapy hair care products.  I would love to hear experiences with what worked or did not work for them.

Don't bother with the shampoo.  They are expensive and when you have something causing your hair loss, topical items don't usually help.  The only thing that works for man is the Biotin,  I tried it once, and I didn't like the way it made me feel, so I just ended up really taking my vitamins diligently and ended up with not losing too much.  Also not everyone does experience the loss of hair. 

Good luck, and don't worry about it, stress makes you lose your hair too.

I use the Nioxin shampoo and conditioner, you can now get it at Costco or the outlet stores.  I find it helps some.  I also take a 5,000 mg Biotin once a day and that seems to have helped me.  I started losing hair around 3-4 months post op and I am now almost 7 mos and it has slowed way down.  Also important is to get enough protein, I shoot for 70-80 grams per day.

Hope that helps.

Hugs,

I had surgery 3 months ago and have been taking biotin daily for the past 5 months........and I just started to notice tons of hair in the shower.  So it is looking like the biotin didn't prevent the hair loss like I was hoping.  Hopefully it won't last long!!
