Hair today, gone tomorrow

Thanks finediva! I'm thinking I might even take a little more off the top.

IMHO, it looks good, but hey, it's hair, it'll grow back. I confess, after reading your post, I went to my bathroom, locked the door and tried to contemplate cutting my hair. I didn't do it, but may once i reach goal. Maybe as part of a makeover. Thankfully, I haven't been losing any hair. Good job on that gorgeous donation.

My hair started shedding extreme in month 4. It had happened years before with a medication, do I was used to it. The ponytail got smaller and smaller.

Now at 5 & 1/2 it has slowed almost to normal.

I have been getting all my Protein all my Vitamins the extra Biotin.

So to my fellow sleevers it is possible and probable. Keep a positive attitude and know if it happens to you ... It will pass.

I've had a lot of falling hair in the 2 months post-op. It was getting scary to see so much come out. After having long hair since my twenties, I decided to go short in the hopes it would slow down the loss. I donated my braid. Here's a little before and after, and the hair I lost...

@@Lallylocks you look great! How brave of you. You are inspiring me to consider cutting my hair. I haven't noticed any more of it falling out than usual but I know it's coming.

I actually really love it. I lost 0.2 pounds of hair! Lol. Was glad to donate my braid, and hope it is useful for someone. I've had shortish hair before, but forgot how light it feels, and how much simpler it is to deal with. So glad I did it.

Google Telogen effluvium It makes sense about the hair loss even if it doesn't make it easy. My hair has been falling out in handfuls since the middle of October. I am almost 4 months out and am so ready for this to end. But losing weight helps me to not be so bummed about the hair.

I am 4 months post surgery and have been losing so much hair it scares me! I have always had thick hair so my husband says you can't tell, but I can totally see it! I have been taking Biotin and trying hard to get all my Protein in. Now I am just keeping my fingers crossed that it stops soon, before I go bald! lol

Just think of all the fun you could have with wigs and extensions

While my hair falling out scares me, I find great comfort in knowing some pretty great wig shops and wig makers in my area! I used to wear a different wig everyday just because I could lol
