Hair Loss--it does come to an end!

I'm sure a lot of new post-ops are afraid of hair loss or are horrified that it's happening to them.

I'm glad to say that mine has finally stopped.  Lasted for about 3-4 months. Got to the point where my hairstylist said, gee when's this going to end?

It just seemed to go on and on. I laughed when I first noticed it, because I knew it would probably happen. But then it just kept falling out. My bathroom looks like Cousin It was visiting.

But I've had minimal loss the last week and I actually have a bunch of new hair growing. It's so cute, about an inch or two long. I'm sure I'll look like a total dork when it grows another inch or so but I so don't care. I'm just glad to welcome it back to my head!

So don't despair, it will come back!

(Also, just a pet peeve, some people say you only lose your hair if you don't do your vitamins and protein. I did everything I was supposed to do. I still lost the hair.)

A bit less bald,
Anna

Cousin It.... ** SNORT!! **      Good one!

The hair loss does slow down, the hair re-growth does happen.  Mine has come back in kinda crazy curly, unlike before!  (haven't decided if I like it or not, but heck - I'll take it!)

One thing I noticed along the way was that there would be periodic stretches of hair loss again AFTER I thought it had stopped.  I just decided that was a GOOD THING, that it must mean that after a stall/plateau, I'm losing again!  And ya know what?  That was usually the case! 

YAY YOU!

I'm so glad to hear that...

My stylist said that even if I lose 1/2 my hair - I will have more than most people have on their head on a good day, so I'm not sweating it too much.

Still... not looking forward to the visit from Cousin IT..     ROFL Anna!

You are so lucky that I like you so much, girl. Normally I barely have enough hair to cover my big ol' head. If there were more to envy about you, I think I'd have to hate you.

You crack me up Anna!  Are you going to Eagan coffee tomorrow or are you gonna hoof it out to Maple Grove?

I was going to go to Maple Grove but darn that is a ways and i have so much going on tomorrow as it is. It's probably not that much further than Eagan but its in the exact opposite direction of the other places I need to go.

I guess I'll be at Eagan. Will you?

I know they say that nothing will stop the hair loss, but I'm going to start using Nioxin again.  I used it after I had my son, and it helped regrowth tremendously.  I need to keep every single strand I can!!!

Mine has been coming out for approx. 2 months now.  I can't wait till it STOPS! lol I've been thinking about cutting it short to my shoulders, my sister says to wait till the hair stops falling out. Seriously, I've even thought about shaving it all off cause I can't stand all the hair...cousin it, lol
