I'm just wondering if anyone's tried getting volume weaves into their thinning hair?

And my only concern would be that perhaps the weight of the extra hair would somehow cause more hair to fall out?

I'm still 5 weeks pre op but the hair falling out thing is something I want to have pro active solutions for. I keep hearing ppl say that even taking Biotene... They still lost hair. I'm not a wig person, but I'm also not a bald person... So what do y'all think?

To weave or not to weave... That is the question!

(Hair weaving is where hair that is purchased thru salon or beauty supply store is basically sewed into your own hair close to the scalp) you can go thicker, or longer (extensions) or both.

I am not sleeved yet but I do have experience with extensions. I have had the best experience with clip-in extensions and feel less hair fall with them (probably because you don't sleep in them) Mine are natural hair and colored to match my own hair and only take minutes to put in. As far as helping prevent hair loss, fish oil can help. There's a brand called Barlean's that comes in liquid form and tastes good as well. Just remember any hair loss as a result of the surgery is not permanent. Also if you see your hair is starting to fall more than usual, try increasing your protein intake.

Hhmm.. Clip ins. Right... Not sleeping with them would be less taxing on our own e wishing hair. I will keep that in mind. Good idea, thanks.

i already wear clip ins for length and volume and love them. make sure you get the real remy hair and your stylist can color them to match your hair, or you can select a shade to blend with your own hair. not hard to put in and nobody ever believes I wear them.

I have just started to notice the hair loss (my brush is full of long hairs that is double what I usually find after brushing my hair) but also have TONS of new hair growth that is 2-3 inches long. I think the current hair loss will not be that much of an issue since there is new growth.

Im 4 monhs post op 78 pounds down an I think its all in hair....its so super bad i close my eyes now when im washing or brushing my hair...it will get better but my hair is almost all gone....

I am a stylist, and I can tell you that the clip ins are best. A fellow hair stylist/co-worker had to finally have hers removed due to loosing to much of her own hair. It just puts too much weight and tension on your natural hair and causes excessive breakage. It also depends on the texture and condition of your hair. For example if your hair is fine or in a weakened state from color or excessive flat ironing etc. , extensions will more than likely cause further damage and loss.
