Hello Everyone,
I'm a new member to the boards, but I've been lurking for a while. I've decided to join because I'm just at my wits end with my hair. After having chin length hair on and off for years I've decided to grow it out. Figures that once I start growing it, it'd start falling out by the handful. Seriously, I'm having loads fall out 24/7 no matter how gentle I am with it. I thought it was the normal post-partum fallout. But my DR said that it has been going on for too long and now I have to have testing done on my hormone levels just in case.
Also, with the fallout and thinning, my texture is now changing. My waves are starting to disappear. My hair used to feel thick and lush. I loved how out of control it was. Now it just feels so blah and wimpy.
So based on what I've read on the board, I started a scalp massage regime and now take biotin and msm daily. I'm considering cowashing, but am apprehensive because my hair can get really greasy easily. Anyone else out there experience this? Can someone commiserate and whine with me so I don't feel so alone! Haha, thanks!
