Hair issues, thinning and loss, on MJ

5 replies

I've been on MJ since August 2024 and I've lost 3 stones so well and truly happy with that!!

However, I forgot to hairspray my hair today and got caught in the wind, when I got home, I looked like fuzzy baby elephant!!! Lots of flyaway, broken hair.

When I wash my hair, I lose loads, when I brush it wet, my hairbrush is filled with hair, a good handful as I clear the brush of hair after every use now.

I don't style my hair with heat or lots of products as it was thin before anyway, so its just down or in a ponytail with a bit of hairspray to smooth the flyaway hair.

Has anyone got any good tips or supplements?

I already take collagen, vitamin D, B12 and Omega 3-6-9 every day.

I know this is a known side effect, I'm certainly not going to stop using MJ as it's serving me well but just wonder if anyone had similar issues and if there is any advice from you supportive ladies.

❤️

I’m not on MJ but my hair is thinning as I’m peri.
As you are taking the right supplements anyway I’d suggest trying Regaine

Its a hair mousse. It’s mainly advertised for men but there is a ladies version.
Suggest buy the mens as it’s cheaper and exactly the same stuff. ( they just put the ladies in a different container that’s all )
Its working for me

The men’s is actually stronger than the women’s, but you just use it once a day rather than twice.

Me! I have been at target for 3 months the and only in the last few weeks have I noticed how much hair I am losing. I do have tons of hair so it’s not thinning but it’s blooming everywhere!

Yep my hair is everywhere, it's like I'm shedding, but when I brush my hair, there's just so much coming out.

Will definitely add Regaine to the shopping list!

Thank you
