Hair is breaking???

Never experienced loss but at month 8 my hair started splitting, breaking.  I've started adding hair skin and nail vitamins to my already multivitamin, B12, D3, Omega, B1 regimen I've been on since surgery.  I also bought hair products.  Its mostly on the top of my head so not sure what can be done about it or if a brazilian blowout would help at all.  Any suggestions???

Are you sure it's not regrowth that is now long enough to be irritatingly sticking up all over  and noticeable??????   It may have been thinning over the past few mths without you noticeing. I'm in my 9th month and my head has areas all over that have regrowth especially the top that could be easily mistaken for breakage.

I agree.  It's probably regrowth from the telogen effluvium.  I remember I had heaps of fuzzy flyaway hairs at around the nine month after surgery.

You may need to add some healthy fats to your diet.  Nuts, nut butters, avocado, flax seeds, etc. might help.  Watch the portion sizes.  They tend to be calorie dense.

Mine is starting to grow back right now and I have a TON of new hair growing it.  It's funny because it's only about 2 inches long and sticks up all over the place.

Update:  Started taking hair skin and nail vitamins and omega 3 vitamin, also using aveda products (very costly) and brushing with boars head brush, I see some slight improvement.  I will keep everyone updated.
