Inspired by the Womens Hair Loss Project, I'm starting a new vitamin regime to see if it will help my shedding. I've been shedding much, much less since removing my Implanon and switching back to shampoo-and-conditioner, but I still shed a lot and I had a shock the other day when I realised how much scalp I can see through my centre part.
I'll be taking 450mg of saw palmetto and 1000 ius of biotin twice a day, as well as my usual prenatal vitamin in the morning. I'm colouring my roots today, so my hair is heavily oiled, but I'll post a circumference (gulp - so, so ashamed of my thin hair) tonight as a baseline. I'll check back in after a month to let everyone know how this is going.
Has anyone else successfully combatted shedding with vitamins or herbs? I'd love to hear your experience!
Edited to add: my starting circumference is a sad 7cm. Man, I hope I can at least stop the shed!
