Enjoying the journey
Does anyone take a supplement for their hair? I am just starting to shed and have seen several of the "hair" vitamins out there. Does anyone take them? If so, what kind? Do they work?
You're welcome. I had it pinned on the Main board. And since I am always quoting it over on Faceyspace, easy enough to find for me.I have always embraced the pixie cut. I am a short hair girl, mostly because I have poodle hair and my hair doesn't really get long as much as it gets "big".
And @southernlady I searched for a thread about hair loss yesterday and couldn't find one, so thank you so for posting that for me. I will read through it.
For women, and especially so soon after surgery, it is often related to the hormones stored in fat cells being released into the body, similar to what women go through after giving birth. Plus it doesn't always come back. Mine has gotten better, but isnt even close to what it was before.Actually, there can be some other nutrient deficits that contribute to hair loss besides the obvious ones. Copper, Zinc, and Iron deficiencies for the minerals, and Biotin, vitamin D, B12 (all B complex vitamins really). Here's a quick read that lists some. http://progressivehealth.hubpages.com/hub/16-Vitamin-Deficiencies-that-Lead-to-Hair-Loss Remember too that your body often responds to shock by shunting necessary nutrients where it feels they're needed most. Hair growth isn't critical to your survival, so it's VERY common after serious surgeries. It'll come back...I promise my friend! If it gets real bad just buy a cheap wig for a few months....become that movie star you always wanted to be!!
