Hi all,
You've really helped me kick a lot of my bad hair-habits. For a month now I've been CWC 1/week, and CO the rest of the week. I haven't touched my straightener since joining, and only hit the hairdryer on Warm with the diffuser on. I don't comb or brush it at all when it's wet, and I just place a MF towel over my head and tie around my neck for 20 minutes to do most of the drying.
I've started taking a Vit B complex (includes biotin and folic acid), MSM, and Vit D every day. I try to eat well with lots of veggies, my BMI is ~20, I work indoors, my job isn't very stressful at all.
I've noticed my hair (and nails!) growing faster since supplimenting. My nails are much stronger as well, they don't split like they used to.
BUT I'm still shedding a lot in the shower. My hair is short, and I notice a lot of hairs tangled in my fingers after running CO through. I'm sure there are even more that wash out without me noticing. I'm very aware of my part; it's very wide. I have a round spot on the back of the crown that feels very bald.
Any suggestions? I'm extremely self-conscious about how thin my hair is and would appreciate ideas. I'm in Canada, so if you think a medical opinion would help I could easily talk to a doctor about this (I don't like wasting her time, though, if you guys have a better idea).
