When did your hair grow back?



Recommended Posts

Please forgive another thread about Hair loss. I used the search function, but didn't find a thread answering my specific question:

For those further out, when did your hair loss stop and the hair begin growing back?

I know the loss is normal and I'm doing all the right things already. I think it would help to know when I can expect it to stop.

Thanks in advance!

I had massive hair loss that began almost right away, but got really bad starting in month 4 and continued until my weight loss slowed way down which was month 12.

It started growing back as quickly as it started coming out so while I was losing it was coming in. My hair is now coming in everywhere but it has changed significantly. The texture is much thicker, coarse, curly and even a bit frizzy.

I spoke with several doctors while I was going through this and everyone told me my hair would stop or slow down when my weight loss slowed down. Right around 12 months my weight slowed to a crawl which scared me because I still had more to lose but that is the point where you really have to work harder to continue losing. I am still losing but about 3-5 lbs per month and I am 3lbs from my ideal weight.
