I'm struggling with hair loss big time! Folks on here suggested Biotin to me, but I've only been taking it a week. I also wash my hair every other day. It's hard to comb it and see how much comes out at once. The positive thing is that most people have said it eventually does grow back! Sorry you're going through this. I hope things get better for you!!!

i have been taking tons of biotin for months and magnesium together, it has slowed it. not stopped it but slowed it , I also get root cover up in spray (loreal) and it really helps my bald spots, it looks like i have a full head of hair, thin but at least without patches

Yes. They said it was borderline but not enough to cause this issue.

Have you had your thyroid checked?

You can look at supplements to help.. biotin ...essential oil blends with rosemary. I've pretty much given up it changes with med dosage for me. I have noticed just not washing my hair everyday seems to help a bit. It's definitely frustrating though!
