Enjoy your new do, you look awesome!

Aw it's amazing! You look so good. Hope you're really feeling it now OP ?

You look great ❤️ I made sure to get my hair dye before surgery since I know it'll be awhile before I will be up to doing it again, and I'm gonna have my friend do French braids the day before so i feel cute in spite of things lol

Speaking of hair... I am pretty vain about my hair. When I was bigger, my manta was "well at least I have great hair" because its long and super thick.

But over the last 2 months, I have been shedding like crazy. It's excessive! I know there is no way I will lose all of my hair; I just have too much. But I am still freaking out a little about the amount. Plus, it's just super annoying to always have shedding hair everywhere.

Has anyone else experienced this and what did you do to help? I am already taking Hair, Skin, Nail vitamins everyday and collogen frequently.

But I don't think they believe me lol

I had very long and thick hair too, and at 4 months post op I was losing strands and strands of hair that I was low key freaking out. I tried every vitamin out there and nothing stopped it, according to my doctor you will lose it no matter how much you try to stop it, but assured me that it will grow back.

I have lots of baby hair now but my hair is in a weird phase where the bottom is thinner, the top is thick and I have fly aways all over my head, it's been so weird trying to style it! the good thing it's that it's growing back if that's any consolation to you!

Thanks! I also have a lot of baby hair right now, so I'm sure it will be fine, but the shedding is so annoying!
