okay my hair is coming out !!! Waaa =....(

Here I was thinking " this will never happen to me.. it would have started by now"... well it started happening . I had a handfull come out yesterday in the shower and I have baby fine hair.... I will be bald in no time if this keeps up . Well I guess I would rather be bald and skinny...then fat w/a full head of hair. I have thought about extension,but then thought - what if the hair the extensions are anchored to fall out... wouldnt my extensions come out ??? OH well, I guess there are always wigs ( if it comes to that ). Im noticable thinner in just 2 days ( ive lost that much ). Oh well.. thats for listening to me whine !!!! ~ Hugs~ Aly

Aly- We're at the hair falling out point-- Every veteran I spoke to says it only lasts for a few months..... So hang in there.

ONLY a few months? Ugggh. That sounds like a long time considering hair will be coming out during it I have thin hair and it is feeling like I have less there now. It is strange, whenever I comb it out after washing it I get a few hairs, not a handfull, but it's been going on for a while so it is becoming noticeable now. As thin as mine is if I pulled out handfulls I would just die......I hate to think of wearing a wig. I don't know if I could do that. Oh well....maybe it won't be too bad. Pam

Aly, Welcome to my sad little world. I have been losing hair for about a month now. Yikes!! I had really thick hair to begin with, but now...not so much! I think I've lost about a third or more of it. Strangely, people have been complimenting me on my hair lately-how weird is that? Also, I've heard that it might grow back in differently (curly or straight) than it fell out. I totally dread brushing my hair and only wa**** 3 or 4 times a week now to prolong the inevitable fall-out. Take care, C Leigh

Okay I am a member of the losing hair club too. I am talking handfuls. If I just run my hands thru my hair I get a handful of hair. Needless to say it is all over my clothes bathroom floor, shower floor ,sink, just everywhere I only wash my hair 2 x a week I take the biotin eat extra protein. I heard about adding zinc to my other zillion viatmins. I cut my hair from being down to my waste to shoulder length as you can see by my new photo. I am getting compliments about my hair so that is the only good thing about it. However being a red head I am hoping my hair does not come in gray. That is my biggest worry. It would be so hard for me to match the color. Oh well the price you have to pay for being normal weight. Guess I should start looking at hats cause can not do the wigs or extensions with my hair color. This too shall pass. Hugs Pam

I so feel your pain. My bathroom is a disaster....between the hair I lose in the shower, then when I blow dry....I don't know how I have anything left on my head. but, this too shall pass....I'm trying to up my protein for a couple of reasons (not the least of which being my low levels at my 3 month labs) so I'm hoping that will help. hang in there Aly, you are not alone!!

Nope Aly, you're definitely not alone. I starting the hair loss about a month ago as well and it's pretty alarming. I had a conversation with my hairdresser the last time I saw him and he said to just treat my hair gently. He was amazed at the change in texture of the hair. I have always had load of very thick coarse hair, NOT NOW..........It's noticably much thinner in texture and I'm losing it faster than I care to admit. I have also been told to hang on, that it will get better. It still freaks me out though. Kitty

UP THE PROTEIN and be faithful with Vitamins.... The veterans reccommend this....... Me too a little loose follicles... Good I have THick hair.... I am a little scared since I just cut and colored it last week> Yikes... I still would rather have thin than fat hair too....LOL

I saw like 15 long strands of hair in my tub this morning! Whaaaaa!!!! And I have noticed hair on my comb after I wash my hair. I am going to also stop washing it every day. I have thin hair to begin with!

Girls, I have had to take a lint brush with me to work to catch all of the hair on the back of my clothes. I came home the other day with 20-30 stray hairs on the back of my suit coat. I can't believe I was walking around like that all day!!! Also, I'm hosting Thanksgiving this year and I'm so afraid that I will get hair in the food I will be serving. How embarrassing would THAT be?!?!?!?! Can you say hair-net ( somebody call the fashion police). Take care, C Leigh
