Hi all! I was diagnosed with BC when I was 31 - stage 2B. I had surgery, froze eggs, chemo, radiation. My hair grew back, but it's so thinner than it used to be. It makes me so sad - I think about it ALL the time. I know I need to just be thankful that I'm here but I can't help it. My wedding is in 2 weeks and I'm a wreck b/c I'm so nervous about how I will look. I actually got a really short haircut last summer b/c I couldn't stand how thin it felt. It's def thinner/weaker. And I used to love my hair :( Any advice/hope anyone can give me? :( Thank you <3

    I feel your pain, Lauren. 2 things I’ll recommend: biotin supplements (2500-5000mg/day) and It Works! Hair, Skin & Nails (link below). I’d also let a pro do your hair on wedding day as they can often work visual miracles. Hope this helps & congrats on the wedding!!

    lula - do you take both, or one or the other? I have thinning hair as well, finally had to supplement with extensions. I’m curious if you take both at the same time because of the amount of biotin in the It Works supplement. I have tried 5,000 of Biotin with no improvement

    one of my friends is using Visical and has good results. For the wedding, have you considered professional extensions
