Yes. I have had hairloss several times and now i realize i have a really bad hypothyroid problem. taking iodine and oyster plus totally stopped it for me.
I have a thyroid problem too (mine is hyper and toxic goiter) and experiencing hair loss. Hoping that this hair loss will go away after my RAI treatment for thyroid removal
True, and my dermatologist never took it seriously š
I had telegen effluvium in college as a side effect of a medication. It was horribly traumatizing.
Itās not always about how we lookā¦ itās how we feel about the hair loss. Thatās why those comments bother us so much! Even if we havenāt lost more than the normal amount- it can feel distressing!! I agree with you 100%
I have androgenetic alopecia and my ex boyfriend laughed at me a few years ago and said I had more bald spots than him. I will never forget that and my hair loss got even worse in the last years. I lost about a quarter of my hair now. I cry every time I wash it. I am so insecure and I don’t feel good leaving my house.
@Cindyj š so sweet of you. Thanks
Your soo welcomeš·
I feel you. Everytime I shower a d see the hair falling i start crying š
Iām so glad he is your ex now, how come some people be so insensitive like that š you are beautiful with or without hair do not forget that ā¤
I also have androgenetic alopecia. Itās devastating. I lost a lot of my hairline 24 years ago and it STILL breaks my heart every single day when I look in the mirror. It never gets easier. š¢
Thank you for confirming what those of us who have thinning hair go through. I even have nightmares about it.
Yes I had telegen effluvium and lost most all of my hair. It was a horrible experience and extremely traumatic. But most everyone rolled eyes and acted like no big deal. But it didnāt happen to them and until it does they really wouldnāt understand.
I take nutrafol, vital proteins and use purādor shampoo and conditioner. And now a year later my hair is growing the fullest of my life.
I am sorry if this happens to you. It is incredibly hard.
Iām sorry to hear you went thru this but it got better! This is currently how I feel when people tell me the same thing. They wonāt understand until it happens to them :(
Where do you get the nutrafol?
Where did u purchase those vitamins u took & how long will you keep taking them?
please tell us your routine! :’)
I was diagnosed with Lichen Planopilaris several years ago and I have lost 85% of my hair on the top of my head and have patches of complete balding. This was so traumatic for me and it was not explained to me how painful and itchy this condition is. I would lose literally handfuls of hair every time it was washed. I cried everyday and no one seemed to be concerned. It was so sad.
I don’t think people realize how much of a privilege it is to have their natural hair be accepted by society. When some people lose their hair, they just get a wig and go on about their business. Other people get the privilege of not doing anything to their hair. They don’t dye it when it goes gray, they don’t wear extensions, they don’t use conditioners or other products… Those who have had hair issues since birth should not be expected to have empathy for those who face setbacks after experiencing the privilege of being the accepted beauty standard their entire lives.
Iāve suffered tremendous hair loss and it triggers me to shower and wash it. The amount of hair that shed is unbelievable. Hopefully the steps Iām taking is helping!!
I lost 30-40% of my hair when I got Covid 2.5 years ago. It took about a year for it start growing back. It was very tramatic, especially for someone still in college at the time.
Isotretinoine affected my hair incredibly, in spite of taking a low dose. All the potential side effects that others may experience went together, straight to the hair with crazy intensity. The texture, the diameter, the weight, the shine, the bounce, even the pigmentš¤Æ Not to talk about the amount lost. It’ s very wavy and nobody notices but I know and feel it constantly. My full braid now is like one of three before. I have a pic where you can see one matte ashy color from roots to waist and a shiny silky redhead duochrome from waist to calves. Someone told me: “OMG! Since how many years you stopped dying your hair orangey?” I tried not to cry and say that this was actually my real hair and I just answered: “Figure out,…years enough to reach the waistš” Still nowadays, washing it is a triggering nightmare. If you are struggling, please, find a good trichologist and ask for professional help asap. Best wishes š§š»āāļøš¤
The entire top layer fell out in MASSIVE clumps for weeks due to emotional stress and trauma along with radiation poisoning. About a year ago. It did grow back but it took three months to start growing back. Craziness
When my hair started falling out after I gave birth to my child, it definitely added to my postpartum depression. It is definitely a traumatic experience to lose your hair
I also canāt stand it when people dismissively say āItās just hairā. Itās that personās hair! Itās a part of them! Itās something you take care of with the rest of your body so when there is a problem itās very distressing.
I was just diagnosed with breast cancer several months ago and I freaked out more over losing my hair than losing my breasts. It’s very individual. I’ve been a professional Model since I was a teen and my hair has been waist length for 15 years, it’s been one of my biggest identifying qualities in my career and I’m just so used to it, that I’ve also had nightmares of it falling out. And I definitely can relate to people being dismissive… one of my biggest pet peeves since being diagnosed is someone just blurting out “you’ll be fine!” It’s so disrespectful. Like “you’re right, just chop my boobs off and on with life, no biggie!” š¤£
Thank you for saying this! As someone who grew up with lots of thick hair, itās now become very thin and fragile due to thyroid problems and anti-anxiety meds. Itās super frustrating. I hope to purchase the I-restore before too long!
I was having a huge problem with hair loss years ago and thats what my (GP) doctor told me. Every morning I would cry looking at all the hair I lost and she just dismissed me. The whole experience (which lasted about 5 weeks or so) was so, so traumatic. I finally saw my dermatologist and she told me my scalp was scaly. She suggested Nioxin. It worked! To this day I switch in a bottle of Nioxin once or twice a year for shampoo.
This is so true. I have PCOS and had noticeable hair loss since I was 14. I spend more time hiding it than on actual hair care. My family keeps pointing it out. It really is traumatizing. Thanks for the PSA, Dr Dray. š
Thank you so very much for this. It started 10 years ago for me with the birth of my sixth child and Iāve gone through round after round of it falling out so badly you could see my scalp from every direction. The last hit was 3.5 years ago. While it is slowly filling in, there are two big sections right up front that still wonāt get more than a couple of inches long. I go to great lengths to disguise it including excretions to fill in the sides and filling in the top with a colored spray. Hair loss is always visible, and our hair is such a part of our feminist even when itās short. I wore a pixie for years during this time.
