How has your hair loss changed you?:

I've become more self conscious about my appearance. Even though I've lost over 1/2 of my hair density, I am still able to hide my thinning so I try not to let it affect me too much. I try to enjoy each day I have my natural hair. I also try to work towards acceptance of my condition if it gets worse...

About Me:
|
I've been dealing with hairloss from going on and off the BCP. My blood tests all come back "normal" except that my ferritin was a bit low- 40. I was a vegetarian for 10 years (and basically just ate carbs) so I'm sure it didn't help. Since finding out about my iron levels I have incorporated meat into my diet. My nails seem to be stronger and I see some regrowth but not enough to make up for all the strands that came out during my TE shed.
I am currently ON the BCP, Alesse, and my shedding is sorta normal. It worries me though because I shed around 50 hairs a day but they are not really growing back.... !
