anyone NOT lost their hairI

I hear so much about everyone losing their hair. Is there anyone out there that hasn't lost their hair? I'm about 9 weeks post op and I hear its about the 3 mo mark. I get about 70 grams of Protein a day so I hope I won't. So anyone out there that didn't lose their hair?

Me!!!

I'm 12 weeks out tomorrow and..... nope. No hair loss!

I never lost my hair - been at goal a year. I was good about my protein and had good luck, too.

Haven't loss a strand...actually growing more than usual because of the biotin. I'm going on 5months out.

Surgery in May hair loss started in September. I'm still shedding like a Cocker Spanial today. It's very disheartening.

Nothing here and its been 9 months!! Cross fingers casue i do a flat top!!! hahaha

It happens to many...so be prepared...doesn't matter if you do everything perfectly....it can still happen and does happen to many... as you can see only a handful posted that they had not....

My hair is all I got and when it started at the 4mth marked...I freaked. I am still freaking. I have long thick hair to my butt. Now, it is thin. No one has commented on/noticed it to my face - I hope no one ever does. But I see it in the mirror, see in the sink drain, in the shower, in my brush...and I do it all the Vitamins, the Protein, the shampoos, etc..I have spent a fortune on it to be quite honest. . I am at the 10th mark now; it has slowed, but I am still losing. I hate that I think I look okay in clothes again, but hate my hair now when I used to love it. Many have posted that 2 years out is the longest hair loss has lasted (that I have read on a post), so I hope mine stops in a year since it is already slowing.

Good luck to all of us with this issue.

I'm going on 10wks post-up. My hair has started to shed lots, I try bit to think much about it, as we all know stress will cause it to fall out faster. Grrrrr.

I'm drinking all my Protein and taking Vitamins and still shedding. I'm praying it doesn't get worse on my 3rd month as many say that's when it starts. Fingers crossed it slows down.

That's awesome! How long did u begin taking biotin before your surgery?

i'm 15 months out - lost some from say 9 months to 12 months, but with taking Biotin and silica it has grown faster - so its longer at any rate - longest its ever been in fact - try not to worry - worry won't help it. The sleeve is worth it anyway :)

Wel I might have a different circumstance I have long thick dreadlocks which don't require hair brushing only at the roots. I wash and condition with Pantene and use natural oils to condition my scalp.

I haven't lost any. I am going on 4 months now.
