No not at all from anything with NBE, my hair loss was stress related, it started when I was with my son's father shortly before I left him, after leaving him he put me through hell using my son to get to me and it was falling out in handfuls, it got to the point I only washed my hair once a week because each time I washed it in the shower I would clog the drain from hair loss! This was before any BO, any individual herbs, etc. etc. So nothing to do with NBE was just stress. I went to counseling as advised by a doctor, started taking vitamins and it improved. Then I started using various "hair loss" type shampoos like Nioxin, etc. and they helped for a little while then it would start building up in my hair and making it feel like crap. Now I have been using full and thick by pantene I use the shampoo and conditioner and I wash my hair now everyday or every other day and it barely comes out now! I never stopped my BC or adjusted anything else. Just started the hair vitamins, collagen, and the shampoo. I been using this shampoo since... umm... I'd like to say December and so far have had no issues, it actually doesn't weigh down my hair, adds body, etc. I was thinking of trying mane and tail as well as someone who does hair and she has hip length THICK beautiful hair, suggested it to me, I might order some (they don't have it in stores here) to compare it to what I'm using now. That's strange that bc did that to you, did you talk to your doctor about it? Maybe there is a better bc option for you? Maybe you were taking the wrong one for you?
To help you understand how much my hair is improving... a regular sized scrunchie, before the hair loss I had thick hair and could only wrap one in my hair maybe twice and it was tight on my hair, it got so bad I was wrapping it 4 times to get it to be tight, now I only do it 3 times! So I'm getting there. I'm just lucky that I had really thick hair to begin with or else I would have had noticeable bald spots, I noticed my hair was thin, but no one else noticed which was good. But now I'm getting my thickness back and hopefully will be able to grow it back out soon, I want my shoulder blade/mid back length hair back. Right now it's to my shoulders, I cut it all the way to my chin to make it look thicker.
But no, my hair has been improving since I started BO so it's definitely not that. The herbs could have made it worse when I was taking those though cause they did give me other bad side effects.
