Okay so I know that we are supposed to lose hair. But I'm losing a substantial amount, as in I've lost more than half my hair, I even have two bald spots (both on the left side I my head). I've always had a full head of thick hair, so I'm not exactly freaking out about having thinner hair. I guess it's mostly starting to concern me because its not letting up. Does anyone know when it should stop/slow falling out as much? Or any info about the bald spots?? Or anything helpful!? Thanks all

I think it starts around month 4 - lasts til about month 6 or so....it does grow back...I haven't found a post yet on this site (or another site) about it not growing back. I am taking biotin, prenatal Vitamins, and using biotin/collagen shampoo & conditioner. I cut down on styling, also. I am praying it doesn't happen to me, but it is inevitable from everything I've read & been told by the dr.

Best of luck to you!

Ah oh, I'll be four months out on June 12th. I better start preparing mentally!

I am just past 6 months and it is still falling out. Not as much ...but still falling out.. My hair is very thin to begin with...now it is easy to see my scalp. I too hope it stops soon!

Suggestion:

Joan Rivers hair powder on QVC!!!! AMAZING!!!! I haven't lost any hair yet (7 weeks out) BUT....prior to surgery I had thinner hair around the crown of my head. You brush the powder on to your scalp,where you have thinning hair, and voila!!!! It makes your hair look very full. It's waterproof too. If you google it you can find videos.

Thank you for the suggestion! I don't really have a problem with it "looking thin" I have tons of hair... Well HAD tons of hair. But thankfully the two bald Patches are in well hidden areas on my scalp..

The sad thing to me is that I am a hair stylist also, and I've seen all sorts of hair issues, but never this much hair loss by someone that's not going through chemo therapy.

I really look forward to the 6 month mark, even if it only slows down I will be more than happy with that!!!

Thanks everyone for the input!
