Losing Hair... Chop It All Off?

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

Cute! I'll bet you feel so much lighter too with the new cut!

VERY CUTE. You look younger already.

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.

How did you know what Nioxin to get? So many different formulas!

Nutri-ox from Sally's Beauty Supply has helped me pre=op with some hair regrowth. It is not expensive compared to Nioxin so I use it everyday and my stylist noticed the regrowth. I would also recommend a flat iron and some thermal care spray. You will be able to style it more with a flat iron and with a little product on it give it some control. My other trick, when I am really annoyed by a light spot, I use my eyebrow powder and color the light scalp. Looks awesome. heheheh Enjoy!!

I went into Sally's Beauty Supply today asking about it. They do have it for color treated hair but she seemed to think it wasn't necessary to get until I start to lose hair/ if I lose hair. What is the % of people who do experiece hair thinning after surgery? Is it something to worry about?

I use the Nioxin System 3. I am pre-op with fine/thin hair already, so thought I might try giving my hair a boost and hopefully have my hair at least stronger by the time I go through this part. My hairdresser recommended this to me, but there is a online tool you can use on Nioxin's website that helps determine which system to use.... http://nioxin.com/ Go to the Consultation Tool :)

I love your new do! Very cute :)

I am so worried about this too! I have very fine, straight hair. Right now it's shoulder length, One thing that could help is blonde highlights- which will thicken the hair shaft, making your hair appear thicker. I have tried nioxin products but found the shampoo too drying for my hair. There is a gel/serum that you can put on the roots, that my friend swears by, but I have never used it. My good friend does my hair, and has for years. One thing we thought of was hair extensions for thickness rather length. I still don't know what I will do, but cutting it all off works for me too! There is another product on the market called Keranique that is available. I think I may try that.... anyone else use this???

I loss a lot of hair after my band it stopped around 7month ...the same is happening now but this time as I neared a 90 pound loss I cut 16 inches of my hair off...felt liberating! And I like my short I feel sassy lol
