Hair loss, evidence with picture and me bitching...

[Dorian 683]

I thought I was gonna get around having this happen to me because the rest of my April group was losing and I wasn't. Then BAM, it started! hair everywhere! I thought it was really bad until I had a haircut and the beautician commented on thick and healthy my hair was! I guess I had a lot beforehand! Anyway, I am almost a year out and it has stopped. Hang in there!

I'm lucky that I have a lot of hair because I've probably lost half of it. I know, in my head, that it will grow back but when I'm in the shower and it's literally coming out by the handful there's nothing I can do but cry. It's horrible. It's so much worse than I thought it would be. I'm so happy on so many levels but this Hair loss business just makes it really hard to fully enjoy all of my success. I really can't wait until I'm on the other side and I'm bitching about all the new growth that's getting in my way!

Well said! It's a bit traumatic no matter how prepared you are!

I'm right there with y'all. Had my surgery 12/11/13 and my hair has been coming out by the handfull. I'll start saving it and putting it on my roses. My scalp seems to be drier than before too, very itchy. I try my best to stretch out the time between washing and use a moisturizing Shampoo and conditioner AND a leave in conditioner.

I'll be glad when I'm through this phase.

Hahaha, I have about half of a shoe box full of hair that I've pulled out of my brush. I swear, I could sew a small wig at this point. Today is the first morning that I can literally look at my hair and see it's thinner. Not good, not good at all. Like I said before, I have/had a lot of hair, but I'm seriously concerned now! At this rate, there's no way I'll have enough hair by the 8 month mark!

Update... I was 6 months out on the 21st and, while I'm still losing more hair than normal, it has drastically slowed down. I wonder, how long between the Hair loss stopping and regrowth starting?

I am 9 months and I am having regrowth now. It stoped falling out around 7.5 months.

Yes I also lose hair by the handful. It's crazy. Luckily I had super thick hair to start. No one probably notices but me. But it's still aggravating.
