Am I better off having longer or shorter hair when the Hair loss starts? Ordinarily I wear my hair pretty short. My hair now is in an inbetween phase and it's driving me nuts, and now is the time when I would go and cut it all off. But since I will likely be dealing with hair thinning in the coming months I am wondering if I should wait.

Mine is long and curly. I will die with it long and curly. Lol

Mine is still pretty thick and I'm almost 5 months out. Its still coming out in gobs.

Depends if you start out thick, thin, curly or straight.

I am 3.5 mths out with baby fine thin hair and haven't experienced any loss. Wear your hair the way you like it and deal with Hair loss if and/or when it happens.

I am a year out, I have not shed any more then I did before surgery. I have kept mine short the last several months though. Many people have said that when shedding happens they find it easier to deal with short hair.

My hair loss didn't start till about 6-7 months out and then lasted about 6-7 months.

Shorter worked better for me during the growing back period (it's all grown back now) because the short "fuzzies" blended in better.

When it's falling out? Don't think k it matters

I have had very long hair all my life but when it started coming off, I went and got a straight chin length cut. I cried the first two days even though everyone complimented me on how I look ten years younger but even I am convinced now. I don't know if it has stopped falling off since the cut or if I don't notice it but it is a relief. I would run my hand through the long hair and at least 50 strands would come off at once.

I didn't experience any perceptible hair loss (my hair is fine and thick) and have always worn my hair long.

Not long after surgery, I got it cut really short and donated my hair. I haven't looked back. I love it short. I swim and it is easy to care for, light, and I get complements all the time.

My incredible stylist gave me a chin-length swing before the surgery, and said if I do have hair loss it'll look more full short. 7 weeks, and I don't think I'm losing any more hair than normal but most people say it starts a little later.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
