Hair loss hair cuts!



Recommended Posts

So I'm 4 months out.

Upped my Protein do everything regarding protein and Water but yet I'm going bald.

I had thick beautiful Mexican hair! Now it's super thin.

Still loosing so here's the point.

Did you cut your hair to help the peoblem?

Did it help?

also I know everyone's different but how long did the Hair loss happen. I'm going on almost two month! I'm shedding worse then the dog!

Thin hair does usually looks better in a short style. There are so many cute short styles, you might find that you prefer your hair short.

I don't think there is any way of predicting how long the shedding phase will last once it has started, but it seems to be pretty brief for most people. It probably feels pretty scary to be losing so much hair, but most people have so much to start with that the loss is not so noticeable to others.

OMG, I am so worried about this. I am 2 months post tomorrow and when I wash my hair, and i run my fingers through the wet hair, I see a bunch of it on the palm of my hands. :(

Is this how it starts?

That's what I'm dealing with. I took 9 inches off my hair hoping it would look fuller

It's might suck for me more tho because I wash my hair 2 times a week and it's up at least 4 times a week so maybe that's why I loose it in such huge chuncks. Also I feel like my face is too full still to consider short hair. I've always had long hair it's my safety blanket so this choice sucks

I already have short hair that is thin. I have it almost like Myley Cyrus.

My top is a bit longer so it doesn't really form bangs

The sides and back are clipped. The top is longer and flipped to one side. Currently the long side comes to the bottom of my ear. It is symetrical in that I can flip it to either side. In the summer the short hair is my dark brown/almost black natural color and the long hair is bleached pretty blonde.

In the winter the long part is caramel with red highlights.

I am 4 months out and have thinning hair as well :( I got a short bob like Kelly Rippa. It's nice because I can wear it curly wavy or straighten it. No one has noticed my hair thinning except me. I am taking Biotin and then started using just two weeks ago this stuff from Joico Thinning Rescue. I got it from Amazon. I can't really say if it's working since it's only been two weeks. And I eat all my Protein and take my Vitamins. Sometimes it just happens.

I'm 5 months out and have probably half the hair I did a year ago. The first month after surgery I was big on Protein. Then for a month or two I slacked off. I tried to get it in, but life was nothing but STRESS. So I got what I could. About 2 months ago I started being very, very diligent about taking my Vitamins and Biotin. I get my Protein everyday. But still my hair falls out. I have long hair and I have no plans to cut it until after my wedding. So I just work with what I have until then. I did read an article that said most people lose a lot of hair in the first 6 months and then it starts to grow back as your body chemistry equals out. So I am hoping that in the next month I start to see some hair coming back. I've also been really stressed out. So that could be part of it.

Let's hope it get's better or we all look GREAT with short hair!!

I got so sick of seeing long strands of hair in the drain and seeing it visibly thin that I got a pixie cut. Which I absolutely love, and even though my hair is growing back I plan on keeping it short. I also dyed it red.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
