Hair Loss and CF
I’ve recently been following a post on hair loss and CF. I currently don’t deal with hair loss (that I’ve noticed) but, have gone through bouts where my hair became super brittle (steroid related). Here are a few suggestions that others have posted. I also noticed some people related their hair loss to CFTR modulators. Take with a grain of salt, and if you do try any of these supplements or products, please review with your CF team.
Overall, hair loss is not unusual with CF
- “I noticed I was loosing a lot of hair. I thought I would try this shampoo and conditioner called Organigrow. It has dramatically cut back on my hair loss and I feel like I am starting to have more hair then I did when I started. I barely find anything in the drain anymore instead of handfuls of hair like before.
It has been something that has helped me.” - “I used to take biotin, but I switched to St Tropica. It’s really helped. You can get it on amazon or Ulta. It’s kinda pricey because the packaging is fancy”
- “So I’m not on a CFTR modulator but my hair was thinning and I was getting bald-ish spots. I switched my shampoo to Monat hair care and I have hair regrowth 💜 I swear by it and it’s all naturally based”
Does anyone else deal with hair loss? I take magnesium supplements and I think it really helps with my hair and nail strength.
