Losing Hair... Chop It All Off?



Recommended Posts

Ok so I'm losing a lot of hair and I want to make it less noticeable. I heard somewhere that if I were to cut it very short that it would be less noticeable.

Suggestions?

Right now I have shoulder length hair and I put it up into a messy bun every day as I don't like it in my face...

These are both recent pictures of me. The one is to show my face up close. And the other one in the black and white shirt it to show you where it looks like my hair is very thin

What will look good on me?

pictures and suggestions would be great!

What have you done when losing hair?

Thanks

Go short, modern cut with a lot of layers! Toy could work it! I would say highlights but I don't know how our hair would hold up to color. Maybe a rinse?

I changed mine when it started falling out. I went shorter in the back with a a line cut forward. I would definately cut it shorter, no bangs, but get some highlights in there, at least 2 different ones to blend in, and add definition. also if you part it in the middle or the side, with it hanging down it will cover that thin spot on the side better. it will also help you look younger if you dont have it back in a pony tail or bun....also stop breakage when you put it back in the pony tail. good luck!

Also know the lighter your hair the thinner it will look not suggesting going black or anything but the lighter it is the thinner it looks.

My friend has baby blonde hair and its fine I was with her once for a haircut and her hair dresser was talking about her hair saying its not as thin as it looks its just so light the blonde makes it appear thinner because of how much easier light penetrates the hair

So maybe go for low lights not high lights to give it more definition.

I own a salon, my advice would be to first find a hairdresser in your area that you like their work. Ask their professional appenion. Each person needs a cut based on what your hair thickness texture and Aldo if you can stlye it at home. I think most will tell you to go shorter but you can do this a little at a time if your scared. When it's gone it's gone but they can always cut Moore off. I would totally go for heavy highlights. Highlights will give you more body and texture. From your pictures I would go with a Maranda cut and Samantha color from sex in the city! Have fun with a new look!!!

I've heard Nioxxin really helps along with taking Biotin each day. I am having similar problems with my hair and taking biotin everyday. I haven't tried the Nioxxin yet buy have seen good reviews for it.

I use morrocon oil (silk brand) and got a dermatologist to prescribe an ointment to rub in and I get injections in my big bald spot... Noes the time to have fun! Chop it real short, very textured to add thickness with a moulding cream or volumising mousse, go light to match the colour of your scalp, and don't worry about lightening it coz you can change it up once your hair starts improving again :)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
