Did you consider chopping it all off? I have medium length hair, which used to be thick hair. But now I’m losing chunks of hair lately :/ I know it won’t last forever..just wonder if having shorter hair might make it a little less distressing for me

I didn’t because I wanted to be able to put it up in a ponytail or messy bun. The messy bun especially saved me during the hair loss phase!

I'm not as esthetician (nor am I even sure that's the right word), but I would think that the shorter the hair the more visible any patches of thinness would be.

Do you loose hair with all procedures?

My program said it's pretty common to see hair loss start anywhere from 4-6 months post op, regardless of which procedure you chose. I'm almost 4 months and mine is just beginning. Hopefully it stops soon. The duration of hair loss appears to be different for everyone. Some people don't get hair loss at all, but everyone I've talked to had some degree of it.

Does it get dry as well?

That no one has mentioned! Most of the people I know that've had hair loss have had thick hair like me, so the number one comment has been just feeling noticeably thinner. I'm sure there are other threads on here regarding hair loss that might talk about that!

My hair is thin already [emoji30]

I'm losing hair, started a couple weeks ago, not huge amounts but mine is already thin. I hope it doesn't last long. I have medium length hair and got a body wave so it isn't flat to my head for now, and layers - I figure the layers will be less weighing it down.

I have really fine hair to begin with and recently resorted to cutting it very short to cope with the hair loss. If it doesn't start growing back in pretty soon, I'll have to start wearing wigs or scarves! I'm at 6 months, and in the last few weeks the hair loss has slowed down a lot, but I can't yet say any new stuff is growing in.

Nope doesn’t happen to everyone and happens to a different extent in different people. Keeping your nutrition on point and your protein up can help, but some is unavoidable for many of us, here’s a good explanation—

Mine did NOT get dry and in fact has been healthier post op than t ever was before, but my nutrition is on point and I get all my protein and water in, so that may help, I don’t know!
