Grief, weight loss, and hair loss (Uncommon & Misc Hair Loss Conditions)
Post reply

Hello,

My name is Camille, and I recently lost my boyfriend of several years. My friends have told me that on top of my drastic weight loss, that they can tell that my hair is thinner.

Can anyone suggest some vitamins or something that I can take that would help my hair grow back? I mean, I'm not expecting drastic, instant results.

I've just gone through so much lately. This is honestly the last thing I need.

I'm so sorry to hear about your boyfriend. Just start eating a healthy diet full of natural foods. Try to avoid processed food as much as you can. And take a good multi vitamin. Amp up your biotin, too. And protein. I went through a drastic weight loss that thinned my hair on top of decling hormones. It may take some time for it to come back..but it should.

Since your hair loss might have been stress related, you might have suffered some vitamin depletion. You can apply aromatherapy oils directly to your scalp. Here's the recipe that a study has shown increased hair growth for 44% of people (WOW):

Rub a mix of thyme, rosemary, lavender, cedarwood, jojoba and grapeseed oil nightly into your hair.
This information was publised on page 15 of Women's Day 2/18/2008 issue.

Also since you're under stress you may not be getting all the calories your body needs. Make sure you get at least 1,200 calories.

The article also said that lightening your hair by more than 3 shades requires bleach in amounts high enough to cause thinning.

Use a protein conditioner (try to find one that does not contain SLS)

I also personally suggest a vitamin D supplement. Many women are deficient in this vital hair nutrient and are not aware.

Practice meditation, yoga, tai chi, chi gong ..... for stress relief.

Good Luck!
