Kelly~ I totally know how you feel~ although I had very fine hair to start with not full like yours.  I had alot of hair just very fine.  I am almost 7 months out and it has finally slowed to a normal pace of losing.  And I have a TON of new regrowth. In fact I went saturday and had layers put in my hair to help cover up all the little ones sticking out.  I used to have hair to the middle of my back but I couldn't take how thin it was getting and the foot long hair I was pulling out.  It seemed more noticible.  SO now my hair is just about shoulder length but it helped cover up how thin it is.  I take biotin myself and I would say it really helps regrowth because I almost feel like my 2 inch hairs are nicer or healthier than the whole rest of my hair.  I just bought a root lifter and I put that in my hair and dry it away from my scalp to help make it look fuller.  I guess we just do what we have to~ but for me I am so glad to have the hair growing back~ You could see to my scalp at my part before it fell out after you could see through almost everywhere.  It is scary but it will get better and just remember it is truly worth it!!  Good luck I hope you lose less than me!!

Kristi, Thanks for posting. I'm glad to hear of the re-growth. I have that to look forward to then.  It is worth it in the end, it's just so hard watching it come out. I don't mean to sound vain, but I like my hair. I just have to deal with it. I think I have to start taking more Biotin also. Thanks again for sharing your story with me, it helps. Kelly

I too am at the beginning of hairloss.  Have noticed only small amounts.  I have a thick head of hair, so I feel that a little thinning out would do me some good.  I only hope it doesn't last for long.  Although I do have a great hat collection.  I have not started using the Biotin as of yet.  I have increased my extra protein.  I have been using the New Whey Liquid shots.  3oz for 45g of protein, so I hope that helps.  I am just about 4 months out and I still have a full head minus a few strays.  So maybe it is in the protein!  Hang in there everyone!  Summer is coming and maybe less hair would feel cooling!
