Curious... Has Anyone Not Experienced Hair Loss?

[TheNEWME! 121]

Just curious.... has anyone NOT experience Hair loss on their journey? Is it possible to NOT lose hair? ?

[MacSleever 6]

Yes, it's possible. I did not/have not.

I'm eager to know the answer to this too, as everything I have read so far says that it's pretty much inevitable (eek!), but also that it grows back (phew).

Yes, it's possible. I did not/have not.

How far out are you?

Sleeved on August 1st, this year. I was told Hair loss usually starts at the 2 month mark.

It actually usually starts around 4 months post op and lasts anywhere from 2-5 months. What does not fall out (and a lot falls out) gets pretty dull on drab. There are tons of recommendations on ways to prevent Hair loss on the boards, but I think either you are lucky and you don't lose a lot, or you are like me and lose chunks upon chunks daily. Luckily, I had very thick hair before surgery, so I do not think others notice, but I honestly without exaggerating have lost 40-50% of my hair.

My friend started losing hair 11 months out. After I had my first son, my hair didn't start falling out after 11 months too. With any surgery you have the risk of losing hair because your body chemistry is all messed up. It does grow back but the texture may change as well. Just take very good care of it and take your Vitamins to slow the loss and speed the growth.

Luckily I had thick hair too, because I lost about half of mine too. I'm 6 mo out from surgery and I think the Hair loss is done and it is starting to grow back. Yay! I was kinda freaked out about the amount of hair that was falling out daily.

Tomorrow I will be 5 months post surgery and I have not experienced Hair loss. I actually had my beautician use the thinning shears this past weekend. So, yes, it is possible not to lose hair. I am not taking Biotin or zinc or any of the other remedies that people talk about. I try to keep my Protein and Water intake where it should be.

I'm 4.5 mths out and I don't see to be losing anymore than usual. Not taking any additional remedies just my daily Vitamins, B12, Calcium. Love my Wen products for keeping it looking shiny and healthy. Hoping I'm dodging the hairloss bullet.

I am 3 months out and haven't lost any hair. Taking Biotin daily, as well as the other Vitamins. Hoping to dodge this bullet!

I am 5 months out and have lost about 60% of mine. My hair is super fine to begin with...good thing it is naturally curly or you would see my scalp. I am SOOOO glad to hear that it will grow back. I was a lot freaked out!

almost 6 months out and zero Hair loss.< /p>

I was at 7 months out when mine started falling out. I had been so careful getting in all and more of my Protein, taking Biotin and all my Vitamin supplements. For me, there was just no preventing it. It lasted about 3 months and is back and beautiful now.
