I think... (hair-loss)

I have been debating on whether or not to post this for about two weeks but I think that it has slowed - either that or I am running out of hair to lose, lol. Anyone else's slowing down? Jenny

I wish !!! I think it has slowed at bit, but only because I have lost at least 1/2 of my hair volume. I had to have it cut very short because I just could not get it to DO right it is so thin. Especailly on top. It looks awful and I am self consicous about it but what can you do??

Pray! Lol, I have cut my shorter as well (shoulder length) because it just hung at the bottom. You can definately tell that it is thinning but I don't have any bald spots. Yet. I just hold on the the fact that while my head is looking not so great and everyday that my hair thins my body does too! Eventually it will even out for us! Jenny

I was thinking the same thing that you were, so we will have to let time tell. Take care, Kimberly

Mine too! And my hair was thin before surgery. I used to dye my hair fairly dark and now I have cut it short so many times, my natural color is almost full grown. (Since my hairdresser refuses to do ANY chemical treatment on anyone that she knows has had WLS in the past year! LOL!) Anyways, my hair is still full around the back and sides but so thin on top and at the crown that you can see my scalp... and now I am getting misquito bites on my scalp... they used to not even be able to get to it.... This hairloss thing has me so self concious that if I know I will be sweating at all I wear a bandana, otherwise my hair just lays really flat and all you notice is scalp! All I do is pray, take my biotin and use my nioxin. And of course get in my protein!

I think mine's slowing down but it's so thin it looks horrible. I can't do a thing with it and the gray is starting to show. Debating whether I should go for the short, short cut I usually get (short on the sides, long on top) or not. Pat

I have been loosing by the handful for about 1 1/2 months now and it is pretty thin on top. I can see my scalp through my hair. I don't see mine slowing down yet, which worries me. I bought some Nioxin and some Rogaine about a month ago, but those can take up to 8 months to work! Let me know how your does. Maybe mine will soon follow! Cheri

gosh...i've noticed it as well. i have long dreads (down to my backside), and i look at the thinning parts in comparison, and feel weird. i don't want to cut 9 years of growth off, but i am so afraid..what if they get thinner? is this something i will have the rest of my life? does the hair return??

Alicia - I finally did cut my hair off pretty short. I do miss the long hair, but I feel better now somehow, like it has evened out a little not looking like I have thicker hair on the bottom! It will grow, right?? Cheri
