Exactly when does hair loss stop?

For those veterans who experienced hair loss, when did yours stop? I started losing hair at about 3 1/2 months post surgery. I'm now exactly 8 months out and I am still losing a TON of hair. I honestly have no idea how I have any left on my head. I keep hoping it will stop soon.

  • I think it was close to 6 months when I noticed a slowing in the amount of hair in my shower & about the house. It’s growing back nicely now - a few inches. I can really feel my old thickness retu

  • I didn't lose very much - but it went on for maybe three or four months (??)

  • My hair loss started at 4 months and went on for another 4-5 months. From what I've read, the loss is from the dead hair getting pushed out by the new hair that is starting to regrow. My hair got quit

Arrggghhhh, I am pretty much exactly 3 1/2 months post and mine has just started to fall out in clumps... hoping it wont last more than 4/5 months

My hair loss started at 4 months and went on for another 4-5 months. From what I've read, the loss is from the dead hair getting pushed out by the new hair that is starting to regrow. My hair got quite thin but is now back to normal volume. BTW, I started mega doses of Biotin at 2 weeks post op, and it didn't help. Don't waste your money. :)

Thanks. I'm about 4 1/2 months into loss so hopefully it will slow.

I was able to cut it to a bob (about 6 inches) so it doesn't look as raggedy. AND the stylist asked if I'd been losing a lot so I guess there are baby hairs up there. Now what I have just needs to stop falling out, and those baby hairs need to grow faster :)

  • 4 weeks later...

I'm 5 years out from surgery and I have to say the hair loss was distressing. I lost at least 1/3 of my hair. After I reached goal it took about a year to have a full head of hair again. This is because I was no longer on a super low calorie diet. The good thing is that your hair really will grow back.
