Hair Loss???????

[Lioness]

What were your sources of information about this Upstate? I think it's interesting.

I noticed one of the posters here back in April said her hair actually seemed longer by only day 8 of the cleanse!! I wonder if that is possilble.

I'm on day 18/30 right now and I'm starting to worry about this. How long was the cleanse when it fell out? and how long when it didn't? How much hair actually fell out?

hey get up kid, it was my first cleanse which was only ten days. the hair loss began a few weeks after the cleanse and occurred when i was in the shower; it just seemed to be noticeably more than usual. there were no bald patches and after a two weeks or so it subsided. my hair is fine and i never worried about it again. also, this is my fourth cleanse... i am on day twelve and i haven't had that experience since. keep chugging and good luck.

I did my second MC last July & did it for 4 weeks. I felt great to say the least. I started noticing in Sept. or Oct. that my hair seemed much thinner & the texture did not feel the same. I have always had quite thick hair & need to get it cut every 6 weeks. I also thought that my hair was not growing as much or as fast after the MC. I spoke to a dermatologist who thought perhaps I had an iron deficiency. Then I spoke with a friend who recommended Pre-Natal Vitamins (I'm 64 yrs old). Then I saw my hair dresser & he recommended the same because they have a higher dose of B complex. I have taken them for 3 months, am stopping for 2 months & then will start again. I wasn't sure if it was age, but I really think it was the MC. I am doing another MC at the moment but will not do it for as long. I wonder if anyone else has had the hair loss problem.

Hey everybody. I love doing the master cleanser. I feel fantastic during and after it.... But, I've lost a noticable amount of hair after doing the master cleanse. I know it's from doing it cause I'm only 21 years old and it is growing back.
I'm just wanting to know if anybody else has experienced this. I've done the cleanse for another ten days and nothing yet has happened. My hair feel out two months after the first time I did it, so maybe they were weak and perhaps if I do it again it won't happen.
I don't know???????????

Hi Floppydisk,

How have you been? I am too going through hair loss ordeal and it is disheartening. It happened to me in exact same way you discribe: Two months after i finished MC I started losing my hair. I finished my MC in end of May, 08 and in end of July started losing my hair and am still losing it. How long it took for your hair to stop shedding? I'd appriciate any info from everyone very much...Thank you for your help.

I am not sure if my posts are posting. I sent already a couple and i don't see them afterwards on here...? Well, i just want to say that I am also going through the same stages. I did MC only for 10 days and then two months after started losing hair. It's been already a month since my hair started falling out and it is still going. I did blood tests just to make sure all the hormonal levels were normal and results did come back normal, so i know it is not for any other reason other than MC. Please help?? Any advice is apreciated. For how long your hair was falling out before it stopped? Did it grow back?? I ma freaking out...it is scary. And it sucks because now i am afraid to do the MC again and i did feel great on it.

Anya-

I experienced hair loss after the MC. Similar to other posters here, hair loss began about 2 months after finishing a cleanse. I didn't keep track on a calendar but my best guess is that it went on for a couple of months before subsiding. My hair was visibly thinner but no bald patches or anything weird. My hair did fill in again and I would say it was a few months before looking back to normal again. At the time, I was actually attributing the hair loss to the use of Pantene products. So I did switch to a salon-quality, vegan shampoo when the hair loss was occuring. But looking back, it is probably more realistic to say that the cleanse might have caused this since others have reported this as well. Also should note, I did 2 MC's in less than 6 months...which maybe could have been timed too closely together and again, could be part of why the hair loss occurred for me.

I am actually starting a new MC tomorrow, but haven't done one in 9 months so hopefully no hair loss this time!

Oh and just to add a bit more info...I have only done MC's for 10 days at a time, never longer. My other theory is that my diet was low in protein...as I think sophie suggested. I did notice that when I up'ed my protein, the hair loss started to subside. So its hard to know if it really was MC or just other dietary circumstances. But I do strongly agree that protein level is essential for healthy hair. I am vegan so the way I increased my protein was to start adding hemp powder to my soups. You have to find a good quality hemp powder though because I have heard some of them taste kinda nasty. If anyone wants the brand I use let me know.
