I pretty sure everyone from time to time goes through stress and not eating right. I know sometime my stress level goes up so fast and hard, that I tend to lost hair as a result. So as you guys know (if you been following) I was battling hair thinning after my first year of being sisterlocks. Now that my hair is growing back beautiful, I started to do some research on how stress affects the body. So one night I decided to search for the term "stress depletes what vitamin" and found wealth of information on that topic. All in all, stress deplete a good amount of vitamin B (which is good for hair, nails, and skin) and as well as Vitamin C (which is good for immune system, eye sight, and much more). Another interesting thing I found out about Alopecia (turn out I do have Alopecia) is that it’s a condition that is thought to be an autoimmune disorder in which the body attacks its own hair follicles and suppresses or stops hair growth. Say what? Interesting huh! I'm not saying that if you increase your Biotin and Vitamin C intake that you’re Alopecia will be cure but I wonder if there is way to prevent it from coming up in the future. Taking vitamin to cure hair loss or thinning maybe another myth, like using a ton of coco butter will stop stretch mark, but it doesn't hurt to try, and I think peace of mind is always a plus.

In conclusion: Please be advise that this is my opinion guys - I truly believe Biotin is restoring the B vitamins that is being lost as you go on with your daily level of stressful environment. Vitamin C is improving your immune system which help fights against virus etc.

GNC Biotin 2500 and One-A-Day Womens vitamin has done wonders for my hair. With both of these supplement combine, my hair is on the right path of growth, with hopefully no thinning what so ever.

Let me tell you a brief history about my hair. Before I had my daughter, I use to always have my hair in braids, weaves, etc. During my pregnancy, I continue that practice until late into my pregnancy. During my 8th month of pregnancy, I notice my hair was getting thinner. At the 9th month mark, completely hair lost (wore a wig in the deliver room). Let me tell you, at 23, losing my hair was the end of the world for me. After I delivered my daughter, I did some research on hair lost, especially during pregnancy. I read that hair lost is very common during pregnancy, especially afterward and most case if you choose not to take prenatal pills.

I also read that the thinning hair, and hair lost will continue for two more years, due to hormonal imbalance. While this news was heart breaking, I decided at that time to do a life style change. I stop doing the braids, the weaves, and the perms, and went completely natural (third attempt). I started eating right, and going to the GYM to manage my stress level. Finally my hair was on the right track and was growing back beautiful. Once my hair was at a desire length, I decided to get sisterlocks.

Now I fear the issue is creeping up again. I notice my middle hair is started to thin out. I even notice my consultant combine two lock. Lady is a blessing for saving those locks. So now I believe my roots are starting to thin out again, and I'm on the verge of tears. I seriously can't  lose my hair again, I just can't. Not again! Now I decided to go to the GYM 3-4 times a week vs. 2-3 times a week to help manage my stress more.

I also decided to take vitamins for my hair. I was told to try Biotin, so I went ahead and purchase two bottle of GNC Biotin 2500, 60 Capsulesand see if that will help stop the thinning hair. I will keep you posted.


I'm really sadden about my thinning hair & locks. I'm guess I will be battling thinning hair for the rest of my life. I just hope that the vitamins and eating healthy will do the tricks. Anyway I just wanted to share this with you guys, since this is my journey, even though it can be a sad ones at times. I have not lost a lock yet, and hopefully I won’t. Will keep you guys posted on any improvement etc.
