I have been getting thinner and thinner hair over the past couple years possibly due to very low ferritin, the shedding had slowed down late last year but after losing weight (maybe the reason why?) the shedding started again with a vengeance a few months back. My pony tail was about the thickness of a pencil so my hair looked bad whether it was up or down. As with most of you I'm sure, my hair was really getting me down, so I went and got it cut. In a short bob, a bit longer at the front. I didn't care whether it suited me or not, I was thinking that I had nothing to lose really. Turns out it kind of suits me! And I also started a new regimen for my hair, in a panic, threw everything at my hair loss. And 2 months or so down the road, the shedding seems to have stopped! What I am using is the following supplements: Ferrous fumarate 210mg twice a day with vitamin C 500mg and L-lysine 750mg Hair, Nails and Skin multivitamin from Nature's Remedy, it contains Biotin, I take that once a day. Vitamin D 5000 IU once a day And on my head I use Nizoral shampoo which I started alternating with a lemon shampoo to which I added rosemary essential oil OGX Thick and Full Biotin and Collagen conditioner Grow Gorgeous scalp serum, massaged in the scalp before bed. So now I don't know what is working, but my hair seems to be staying on my head. Now I am looking forward to seeing some regrowth! Another plus side of biotin, it made my eyelashes grow longer! I am a happier bunny now so I thought I'd share!
Thanks, Callista!! Gives me hope! I'm taking a similar approach, but I'm only four weeks in! Updating weekly. You must have gotten your ferritin level up to where it needs to be! So happy for you. Hoping for the same results. I will keep y'all posted...
Could you share with me where you get the Grow Gorgeous scalp serum? Thank you! I'm using the OGX shampoo and conditioner, but in a different formula (Cherry Blossom Ginseng).
