Thinning Roots – Hence Thinning Locks
9:11 AM
Let me tell you a brief history about my hair. Before I had my daughter, I use to always have my hair in braids, weaves, etc. During my pregnancy, I continue that practice until late into my pregnancy. During my 8th month of pregnancy, I notice my hair was getting thinner. At the 9th month mark, completely hair lost (wore a wig in the deliver room). Let me tell you, at 23, losing my hair was the end of the world for me. After I delivered my daughter, I did some research on hair lost, especially during pregnancy. I read that hair lost is very common during pregnancy, especially afterward and most case if you choose not to take prenatal pills.
I also read that the thinning hair, and hair lost will continue for two more years, due to hormonal imbalance. While this news was heart breaking, I decided at that time to do a life style change. I stop doing the braids, the weaves, and the perms, and went completely natural (third attempt). I started eating right, and going to the GYM to manage my stress level. Finally my hair was on the right track and was growing back beautiful. Once my hair was at a desire length, I decided to get sisterlocks.
Now I fear the issue is creeping up again. I notice my middle hair is started to thin out. I even notice my consultant combine two lock. Lady is a blessing for saving those locks. So now I believe my roots are starting to thin out again, and I'm on the verge of tears. I seriously can't lose my hair again, I just can't. Not again! Now I decided to go to the GYM 3-4 times a week vs. 2-3 times a week to help manage my stress more.
I also decided to take vitamins for my hair. I was told to try Biotin, so I went ahead and purchase two bottle of GNC Biotin 2500, 60 Capsules
I'm really sadden about my thinning hair & locks. I'm guess I will be battling thinning hair for the rest of my life. I just hope that the vitamins and eating healthy will do the tricks. Anyway I just wanted to share this with you guys, since this is my journey, even though it can be a sad ones at times. I have not lost a lock yet, and hopefully I won’t. Will keep you guys posted on any improvement etc.

Sorry about that. Have you really ascertained that it’s a hormonal imbalance? I once had thinning roots due to wearing styles that strained the roots and over tightening. Once I stopped that, my roots came back to life.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it’s hormonal imbalance. I'm guessing it due to recent stress that enters my live. So I’m trying to fix that and see if taking in the vitamin B will help. I don’t do anything to strain my locks; I mostly wear my hair down. The only thing I do is braid my locks down to keeps it looking neat. If the vitamins that I going to take doesn't fix this I may have to see a doctor to check to see if my hormone are imbalance.
ReplyDeleteI am fretting over my locks thinning . I just noticed, I had my hair redone and was shocked to see so much scalp. I read where you can get yeast in your scalp so I put Monistat 7 in my hair it's to soon to tell if it will work. The info that you all post is very helpful and enjoyable t read. Thanks for sharing, God bless.
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting. Seeing thinning hair is always a bummer no matter what. Once you figure out what is causing it, you will feel much better. Good luck and I hope Moinstat 7 works for you.
ReplyDeleteResearch of vitamins, I have found unanimously that biotin along with other b vitamins will improve the health of hair.
ReplyDeleteI found it has helped with me. I can't speak for others though.
