Ladies with pcos. Do you loose your hair a lot?

Question

I am finding that im loosing a lot of hair and it's getting very thin. Do any of you lovely ladies have any tips?

Answer

I don't have pcos BUT I am a bit anal re hair care. 
1) Reduce unnecessary stresses as much as possible = don't put into tight styles, save heat styling & products for special occasions.
2) Air dry as much as possible
3) If you colour, ask for Oliplex to be added at salon.
4) Deep condition once a week with organic virgin coconut oil. 
5) Only brush/comb when hair is dry. Wet/damp hair is in weakened state bc hair protein slightly relaxes when wet = breaks more easily

Good luck!

I don't have any tips for u as I'm dealing with the exact same thing. I'm spending a fortune on hair extensions because of it. But I'll follow this post as I'd like to know too. So don't worry your definitely not alone in this

Answer

My hair has gotten a bit thinner in the past several years and it went from quite wavy to straight and flat. :(

Not sure if it helps or not, but do you take metformin or anything for your pcos?

Wish I had better tips.... Mine hasn't been to the point of needing extensions or something but it has deff changed!

Answer

I can't say that my hair is thinning from the scalp  but it's very weak.  snapping in the middle.  combing or brushing my hair always involves a broom of some kind.  so, I'm trying the essential oil route.  moisturizing my scalp every other day.  look up Essential oils: Rosemary, geranium, thyme, sandlewood, jojoba, peppermint.... there are some others that are said to be good for thinning hair.  I'm using the company eden's garden because the say that they're all natural i.e. no harsh heavy chemicals.

if you find something better, id be interested.

Answer

I usually lose my hair in the shower and brushing. But I started going easier in the shower and basically letting the water pressure do the work instead of scrubbing it. Also I started squeezing the water out from top to bottom instead of wringing it like a towel. I also got a Wet Brush which helps with ripping more out once you start to comb or brush it while wet. This helped me out alot. My hair feels fuller and I don't notice any loose hairs falling out during the day.
