Hello everyone!
I had surgery in february, and 3 months after, my hair stared to fall out, as expected.
My hair has thankfully started to grow back, and I have baby hairs sprouting along my hairline and throughout my scalp.
I have long hair (almost to my waist, past my boobs), and I refuse to cut it.
I have been struggling with how to style my hair, with the short hairs along my hairline, which a couple of inches long and stick up and out, and the long hairs which are wavy and weigh down.
I used to braid my hair, or wear it in a topbun, or half braid it, etc, but I can't really do that anymore because the majority of my length is thin, and the baby hairs are too short to be incorporated into anything like that. If I do a simple braid, the braid itself is thin and pathetic, even if I massage the braid to thicken it, and the hair on my scalp is large and voluminous (being held up by the baby hairs)
I was wondering if anyone went through a similar experience and if they had any go to hair styles for those days when you just didn't wash your hair or it just doesn't look good down?
