My hair breakage is growing in

After I was sick and in the hospital a year and a half ago I had some pretty major hair loss. There were tumbleweeds of my hair on the carpet here. It wouldn't have been immediately obvious to a stranger but those who know me could see that my very thick hair had thinned. I was freaked out and started taking biotin supplements to try to encourage hair growth. What wasn't obvious to me, at least at first, was the hair breakage around my face. I don't know what caused it aside from illness because I don't put my hair up in ponytails. It was annoying because it looked like I had bangs when that was not what I wanted at all. The hair was also too short to tuck behind my ears so it kept falling into my face which made me try to tuck it. . . which just reinforced the breakage. Fast forward many months and I am finally out of that cycle. The "bangs"/breakage is long enough that I can tuck it behind my ears and forget about it. The girl doing my hair last night was impressed with the growth from when she first did my hair back in September. I will be happy when it is all one length again.

This is wonderful to hear:) From daily stress, I have a receding hairline which I try to ignore. Jay loves my hair, which amazes me at times. He is balding on top, I don't even see it as a problem. Biotin, I will see if it helps my hair come back. The breakage is obvious, on my long hair. Did you receive the get well card I sent you? It was meant to put a smile on your face and to help you get well

That's good to hear. I thought you said the breakage was caused by wearing a mask?

Hi, I recommend that you apply fish oil to the hair - it works wonders!
