I have thyroid issues(controlled), so thick lush hair is not in the cards for me anyway. I'd hate to lose more. Any ideas what I can do to try to keep what I have? I am taking Biotin. Anything else?
All I can suggest adding is the BioSil - it apparently helps with regrowth and according to my naturopath MAY help with hair loss. Everything I've read says the hair loss is temporary (and for many it comes back thicker), (and it is TOTALLY worth it to me) but if I were doing it again I'd start biotin and biosil (silica) right as I started the plan.
Good luck, the hair loss doesn't seem to happen to everyone. I can say that all anyone notices is my weightloss (no one's looking at my hair these days!!)
Edit: I should also mention that the hair loss has nothing to do with IP per se, rather how successfully people lose weight as it is rapid weight loss that triggers the loss of the hair.
