    💆🏼‍♀️ I am a RN and I did a TON of research before I started the Keto lifestyle 9/1/2020. I was aware of how common hair loss is with losing a large amount of weight or with any big stress to your body physically or mentally. ie surgery, mental stress, etc. I added daily Keto Perfect unflavored collagen to my morning coffee from the beginning. I wanted to lose about 40 lbs. so felt my goal for weight loss, being much less than many people combined with taking the collagen, I would not experience any hair loss. WRONG. I lost weight at a steady click from the beginning, but not excessively fast so thought I was doing well. Right before my 3 month ketoversary I had lost around 20 lbs. and thought I was experiencing more hair shedding, but wasn’t concerned because I had taken precautions to avoid it. Well, the shedding continued, increased and lasted 2 months before it stopped! And it just abruptly stopped. I lost, what seemed to be, 4 times more hair than usual during that 2-3 month period though! I did not notice any bald patches, but the shower drain would be mounded with my hair every time I washed it! I would walk through the house and see CLUMPS of my hair release and float through the air! My hair was everywhere! I added Viviscal supplements, Liposomal Vitamin D and Vitamin B3 at that time. Honestly, I don’t know that they helped. My hair had already been through it’s 3 month shedding cycle [hair grows and sheds in 3 month cycles] and I think I would have lost hair no matter what I took to avoid it. I’ve been in my 3 month growth cycle the last 3 months and have hairs sticking up all over my head so it looks like my hair has returned to normal and I’m replacing all the lost hair with new growth. Also, I did a ton of research on hair loss/growth during my shedding cycle and there are mixed reviews on whether Biotin really helps hair growth. If interested @DrDray, a board certified dermatologist, is an excellent resource on this subject if you search her YT videos regarding hair loss. Basically I picked these items out of her vids: topical Zinc Pyrythium (active ingredient in Head and Shoulders shampoo); Vitamin D3 (read on how to take it for maximum benefit); Saw Palmetto; Marine is best collagen for hair (Viviscal has this) and other collagens work too; Niacine/B3; Zinc; Magnesium. Sorry, this turned into a novel! I just wanted to share what I learned in hopes it can help alleviate anyone else’s anxiety over losing hair, because I was in a panic when my increased shedding continued into the 2nd month! Also, the lowest price I found the Viviscal was Walmart, but you can find it on Amazon too.🌻

    Some things that have helped to control my hairfall include: (1) I discontinued wearing ponytails because it causes tension breakage. (2) I started massaging my hair and scalp twice a week with liitleextra cocoonnion hair oil while leaning forward & holding my head upside down to allow blood flow to the scalp. (3) Covering my head while moving out to safeguard my hair from dust and pollution. (4) Using mild shampoo again from liittleextra only to cleanse my hair.

    I’ve never had anything but fine hair so losing more for me was distressing but I understood that a lot of diets cause this as does being menopausal, pregnant, stressed, post anesthesia, shock etc
    I’ve embraced it and now I have lots of baby hair coming through!😘

    Great video, When I was like 3 mths in and kept hearing horror stories about hair loss I ordered a collagen protein mix I found off amazon so I've been taking it daily. I've always lost alot of hair so haven't really noticed a dramatic difference in the almost 10mths of being keto. I also do my best to hit my protein for the day. Loved the intro of the video.

Afterwards I started taking biotin as well... Maybe I nipped it in the bud before hand🤔... Maybe it's cause we are all just different and keto is different for all of us🤔... Great insight ladies...

    I understand that from your personal experience, hair loss is a temporary issue on Keto, but that has not been the case for everyone. There are lots of stories of hair loss so severe it caused them to quit and they had to take great measures to get their hair to come back over a long period of time. Are they supposed to just keep up the diet and hope for the best as 50-75% (not exaggerating, these are numbers I've seen used to describe the amount of loss 6m-1y in) falls out?

    So, how long does the hair loss last? It's already been about 3 months. I've lost the same amount of weight (20+ lbs) before without any hair loss, so it's not the weight loss - for me at least. 😥

  • @elettramia6380

    Were and are you eating 7-10 cups of salad or vegetables a day on keto? That’s what Dr. Berg recommends. I’m hoping this is why I experienced keto hair loss because then it’s a simple solution. I’m also going to be adding NON fortified nutritional yeast to my diet which is rich in B vitamins and necessary amino acids. Also adding more animal liver in my diet! Hope this makes a difference 🤞
