Mine is almost to the bra strap, I have vowed that if it starts thinning I will cut it above the shoulders... okay, lol, maybe just at the shoulders. I am literally coming up on 3 months post op, and worried I will start losing it.

How far post op are you? Did you do this from post-WLS hair loss, or just because you felt like it? I bet you were just feeling rebellious and sassy, LOL!

I was sleeved April 20. It is very thick and I have waited way too long for a cut. Fortunately, it was long enough I could donate it if I was willing to go short so I took the plunge. To donate it it has to be at least 9" long.

My hair is so thick that even with the anticipated post-surgery hair loss I should still have plenty left.

Very pretty !

I just love it!!! Rock that new do!

Haha! Good for you for donating!

I have long thick hair. When I was losing I did lose hair. By the fistfull. Turns out it made my hair look better. Now I get it thinned. Oh, the irony.

I understand. I always got mine thinned in the summer and still lived in a ponytail because it could be so hot.

I can't believe how much lighter my head and neck feel ... and how little shampoo I am using. It's quite a change.

I have dry, fine, curly hair so I have switched over to the "no poo" method and essentially wash my hair with a detangling conditioner. I have been doing this for several years now - only shampoo when it is truly dirty from riding in the dust or something like that - perhaps 1-2x a month.

Then I finish it with a defrizz/shine/curl enhancer type product and let it airdry. Easy peasy and I get alot of compliments on my hair.

I just turned 51, and am still blessed with (mostly) brunette hair. I know it is vain, but my hair makes me feel feminine and beautiful. I know someday I will cut it short, but for now this works. :)
