How did you deal with hair loss?

I know this has been discussed before, but most of it seems to be on assurance that our hair will grow back. I am more interested in what you did while it was coming out (besides panic as we all do ????).

I already had thinning hair on top so as soon as I realized mine was starting to come out (@ 3 1/2 months) I went down to a local wig shop to discuss toppers. I was really surprised, the topper the stylist helped me pick a great one made of human hair. I then took it to my personal stylist and she matched it to my hair. So far it has been awesome and unless I tell someone they can't tell I am wearing it. I just hope my hair loss doesn't get to the point where the topper isn't enough. I am going to try to post a pic so you can see how my hair looks with the piece on. Feel free to comment. ????

Has anyone else elected to go with a wig, extensions, topper? If so, what did you do and how did it go?

I generally get the impression that a lot of gals just elect to go with a shorter hair cut. I am curious how many chose this route?

i cut mine really short

I went thru a big hair loss a few months back because the steroids I was on for my syndrome.

Now I have a buttload of sticky-outy hairs all over my head from regrowth.

It looks really goofy.

I used to have super thick thick hair but am now average.

I guess I'll be looking forward to more large amounts of hair loss here shortly.

In about 6 weeks....

I've had short hair many times before so most likely that'll be the route I take.

Good luck! Maybe you will be one of the lucky ones who doesnt see the loss. :) I am at almost 6 months and it is still coming out. I am hoping it stops soon. :) So far the topper is holding, but it is getting dry looking (another side affect I am told). Still worth it in my opinion.
