Hi everyone,
I'm new to this site, but I wanted to share my success story in the hopes of helping others...
I'm 22, and about a year ago I noticed that I was losing probably 150-250 hairs a day. As my hair is blond and fine to begin with, it was noticable, and eventually I lost probably 40% of my hair. I was lucky that it was all over my head, and it never really got to the point where you could see my scalp, but I was still obsessed with it.
About four months ago, I decided to do something other than worry about it. I started a regimen that has shown remarkable results for me. After 4 months, my hair shed has dropped to maybe 20-30 a day, and I am starting to notice a lot of regrowth.
Here's what I do every day:
1 multivitamin with 100% RDA of iron
500mg Flaxseed Oil
500 mcg biotin
1000 mg MSM
I also added more protein to my diet, I try to eat about 45 grams a day at least. Eggs are the greatest hair growth food in the world, they contain so many vital nutrients for hair, and a ton of protein. If you can work two eggs a day into your diet, it will make a difference.
Last, I alternate between shampooing with Thicker Fuller Hair brand and Head & Shoulders. Nothing beats Head&Shoulders for giving what little you have more volume, and clearing away junk on your scalp that might be inhibiting growth.
The added bonus of taking all these vitamins is that the hair I already have is growing much, much faster. Previously, it was growing about 1/2 an inch per month, now it is growing a little over an inch per month.
I am a little bit worried because I am going to be going back on the BCP after six months off... I know for a lot of people that can trigger loss, but I'll be crossing my fingers and taking vitamins.
Good luck to you all!
