18 months out and hair falling out, help

I am 18 months out and my hair is falling smooth out.  It is paper thin now and I use to have a thick bunch of hair.  Any suggestions on what I can do to get it to grow back?  Is it too late?  I am considersing cutting it off..it looks so unhealthy.  HELP

Hey Valerie,

I told you to take Biotin.  Maybe you forgot.  Some people suffer with the hairloss moreso than others.

Hi Kim,

I was taking Biotin, but I don't know when but I stopped, hair really never stopped falling out but I notice it has been coming out a lot lately.  Thanks buddy, I will get back on the Biotin. 

Pretty late to be having hair loss, but I am sure that it can happen at any time.  Yes, you should be on Biotin, and make sure you are taking all of your vitamins.  If you are not, start, and eat well, keep up your proteins, don't slack on those.  If it continues, I suggest you make sure you are not having some other issues going on.

Good luck

Thank you so much, I am gonna get back on the Biotin, how much do you suggest I take? This is not cool at all.

5000 mcg (or micro grams) or 5 mg (milligrams). This is the same amount. Different manufacturers use different measurements on their bottle. Take 5 mg's a day. I took it for about 2 years. I lost over a third of the hair on my head. Make your protein a priority. Make sure you get zinc in also. Also, ask your doc to check if your anemic. If you are low on iron, or your iron stores are low, (ferritin level) you will lose a lot of hair. Make sure to ask her or him, to run your ferritin level, with your labs.
 After a couple of years (and keeping my hair short, like cut up to my shoulders) it grew back in WAY healthier than before, Now I have tons of hair again! Hang in there, you're doing great!!

Thank you Lyn,  I will take care of it.  Thanks for the encouragement. 

Good point, Diane.  We must remember that protein are the building blocks for hair and nails (and some other stuff).

I used Nioxin shampoo, conditioner, and scalp treatment.  It really seemed to help me alot.  Good luck.
