IT HAS BEGUN *ominous music*

The hair loss has officially begun. Ugh. Luckily I have VERY thick hair and can spare some.

So, do any of you long-term folks know how long I can expect this to go on? Does it keep happening throughout the weight loss period, or does it stop after a little while?

Just curious. I knew it was going to happen so it's not a shock, thankfully. I just want to try and gauge the duration.

Thanks for any help y'all can provide!

Hi there-

Mine started in the 4th month. It started out pretty bad, but tapered down after a few weeks. It has been 2 months and I still notice hair on my shirt, but not nearly as much. I also have uber-thick hair so I didn't really notice it in the way my hair looks but other folks have had terrible problems with the fall out. I also got a really short haircut, I think that helps with how the thinner hair looks. The shorter hair also doesn't require as much styling so I fee like I am stressing the hair out less.

I am not using any special products / supplements / shampoos. I try to only wash my hair every 2nd or 3rd day. I don't blow dry. I do use a straighteining Iron twice a week.

I think the experience is unique to each person, but I wish you the best!

Oh dear....we were sleeved on the same day, so I guess I should brace myself. The difference is I DON'T have thick hair. I have to wear a hairpiece as it is. I'm afraid I'll end up in a wig eventually. :(
