I posted the other day re: hair loss after losing a lot of weight
I have now started taking Biotin, Iron and Calcium with Vit D. I have been taking a Multivitamin for a few years prior to weight loss.
Will the vitamins that I am taking now stop my hair from thining? Is there anything else I can to make sure my hair goes back to how it used to be ?
Any advice ?

    I am having the same issue with hair loss and am about to start Minoxidil (generic Rogain) for women. After doing quite a bit of research I've read that Biotin may not really help. Minoxidil is said to help you keep the hair you have as well as spurt new growth. Target and Walmart have a generic version for about $20 for a 3 month supply. I already take a multivitamin and increased my protein and healthy fats a few months ago, but the hair loss is continuing. I have read that it is a normal side effect of weight loss, but I am really bothered by it.
