So my hair has been falling out to the point where I couldn't wear white shirts anymore. I couldn't even run my fingers through it without several strands coming out. I started depending on clip in extensions and sew-in weaves because my own hair looked so scraggly.

Saturday morning I went to my friends' salon and told her to chop it off...All OF IT! It's going to take some getting used to, but I like it.

From what I can see on your profile picture it is a very cute cut!

The weaves and extensions probably added to the Hair loss, right now since I dye my hair blonde, with the sun and swimming I'm having breakage myself. If it starts looking bad in another month or so I'll go with a cutie pixie to go with my new cute body ;)

I've been dieting since February anyway, and since the liquid diet my hair is falling out. I have long hair, but I'm going to have several inches cut tomorrow so the ones that do fall out won't be quite as noticeable. It also seems to tangle easier when it's full of loose hairs, so this should help. I've had it fall out before when I lost weight, but it DOES grow back.

as for bald heads, I think they can be quite striking and beautiful on a woman. You DO have a pretty face, I'm sure you're gorgeous now!

You've got that Toni Braxton thing going on with the fabulous face that can totally pull off a short look. I'm jealous. I think it looks great!

I've been losing my hair big time the last month. Fortunately, I have a ton of hair so no one else can tell, but I can. I started taking Biotin hoping against hope that it would work. Literally right now as I type, my hair in soaking in deep conditioner and biosilk. I'm hoping I won't have to chop it off. I don't think I can rock a short do like you can.

My natural hair was always thick and healthy. I used the weaves for variety, but then it turned into a necessity. The Hair loss wasn't bad until about 6months out, then it literally started falling out. I'm glad I lost enough weight to rock this look!

Thank you VACookey! If no one else can tell, then you're in good shape. How long have you used the biosilk? I've never tried it &think I should start now so my hair can grow back healthy.

Wow your a hottie so I'm sure any style will look great on you. I'm so nervous about my hair. My hair is very fine and thin to begin with so I would imagine in a couple of months I'll have two strands of hair so I have been researching different companies who sell hair to use for a full weave. I'm addicted to YouTube and watching teazedblackpearls and fabulasityisme because they always review hair and I'm taking note for when I'll need their opinion.

Maybe you should also try the hair Vitamins that everyone talks about on this forum. But, I love the short look. I've always worn mine short. Once I lose a few pounds, I might even get daring and spike it! LOL!

Wow! Thank you!! :)

There are a few ladies I love to watch on YouTube as well. They helped me get through the last couple of months. Good luck with your hair!

I've been taking Biotin regularly since 2 months post op. I'm just one of those people who it didn't work for. :(

Thank you! I'm loving the easier maintenance of the short hair. Can't wait to try different looks with it.

One of my friends gels hers down all the time and just goes! I always think she can get away with the shortest looks because she has a perfect figure! I can't wait to do the same! Welcome to the chic, short hair club! Once your hair is healthy and strong again, try a few highlights! You'll love it!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
