mine started about 2.5 months ago as well, it has finally slowed WAY down, I can see new growth coming. I believe I read it last 4 to 6 months, it is different for everyone...there are even those who haven't lost any. Mimi

Me Me, I'm one of the lucky ones! I do shed a few strands when I rinse my hair in the shower but it's always been like that. The average hair loss per day per person (who didn't have surgery) is 80 to 100 strands but I dont even think I lose that much. My mom has really thick hair **which I wish I had**(I have medium to thin thickness) so had I lost some I would have really been showing scalp. =( Hang in there! Veterans say it stops at about 6 months out. We're almost there!

Everyone is unique, no one can tell you how long it will last.... but the general consensus is from months 3-6.... sometimes lasting as long as month 9.

Hey there...mine just started falling out a few weeks ago as you can see from my profile picture I had very long hair...well ok it is the longest I have had it in 4 years so I started getting worried when my hair brush was filling up 3 to 4 times a day..so my ponytail was getting verrrry thin so I decided to cut it all off...I will send in my new photo as soon as I can remember how to shrink it down....but I am glad to know that I am not the only one out here having this issue...

Hi, I've not lost hardly any hair, I have very long very thick hair, always have. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones....I have heard that the hair loss starts at the third month, then again I heard that it starts at the sixth month, sooooo.... I have a few strands here and there, but nothing major...I'm glad... My hair is My pride, lol...I'm vain about it I guess, but that's ok, I wish you all the best, also my pcp says if you use jojoba shampoo it helps with hair loss maybe you could try it. My MIL uses VIT B-12 that you put into your hair to keep hers from going thin. Good luck hun. Sondra, 315/230/150 85lbs. gone forever!!!!
