So depressed about my hair

I'm just really depressed about my hair. I knew I would lose some hair but I just didn't expect to lose so much. Even a pixie cut (which I wanted) wouldn't look right. Only saving grace is that the hair loss has slowed down. But not gonna lie I feel at a lost.

When did everyone's hair loss begin after surgery? I am almost 2 weeks post op and haven't seen any loss yet but I am sure it will probably come.

Has anyone tried this.....

For those of you who have have very light colored hair (blonde, grey/white).....BABY POWDER! In a pinch when I need to extend my shampooing, instead of using dry shampoo, I discovered baby powder. It hides my scalp, absorbs excess oil and thickens my hair.

It often starts around month 3 & will persist about 3 months. As with all things it may start sooner or later than that and last more or less than 3 months.

Mine came way late like 4 months or something like that.

I completely understand the hair loss as I have thinned ALOT! My biggest thing is I didn't even think about it happening until it did. I was focused on other things, so it came as a surprise. Every time I plateau I start to get it back, only to lose it when I start losing weight again. I'm hoping that it comes back better when I'm done and only maintaining.

I apologize for my late reply, but this information may be useful to someone else. I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling down about your hair. It's great to hear that the loss has slowed down, though! If you're struggling with hair loss, it can be really tough to know where to turn for help. I wanted to share my experience with Nova Medical Hair Transplant Miami - their specialists really helped me effectively solve the hair loss problem. I was impressed by their expertise, professionalism, and personalized approach to hair restoration. They use the latest technology and techniques to ensure the best possible results.

I've list at least half of my hair, maybe more. The loss has slowed down, now have these weird little hairs (someone said chicken hairs, I like that). I think I'm going to cut it short, look at wigs.
