My Hair

It's thinning. I guess a normal consequence of my PCOS. However, all of my androgen levels are good, with only my DHEA being somewhat elevated (tho no where's near as high as it's been).

I had been in a rut where I wasn't shampooing every day (or even every other day for that matter), partially because I'm lazy, and partially because of the fear that excessive washing would cause more shedding.

Going to try to shampoo every day (if I can). My hair is quite long at this point, so it's a PITA to shampoo it. I normally donate a pony tail every other year or so, and I guess I might be overdue for a donation. Though I do notice that each subsequent ponytail isn't as robust or lush as I wish it were.

I'm hoping that since I'm on so many MORE supplements now, post-op, I'm hoping that perhaps it might be enough to kick start the hair growth. My fingernails look utterly great, and I hope for the same for my hair.

Shampoo every day w/regular shampoo, leaving the suds on for 5 minutes while I scrub the rest of my body. Shampoo 1x a week w/a ketoconazole & salicylic acid based shampoo. Towel dry. And argan oil the hair (and hairline) itself to keep it from getting dry, brittle, and fly away. I think this weekend I might breakdown and get it chopped. Might.

Also boosting my biotin and folate, hoping for the best. Was thinking of boosting my niacin, but think I bought the "wrong type," and besides it might be too much on top of the Centrum I take in the morning, and the pre-natal I take in the evening.

My endocrinologist recommended I check out the videos on this site; however, it appears the videos are not loading. Going to keep checking back at that link and see if they'll fix the streaming.
