I am 2 months post op and having some issues with losing some of my hair when I wa**** and bru****  I'm afraid of my hair becoming too thin.  So, I had an idea.  I'm thinking of getting a body wave or a spiral perm to help make my hair "appear" thicker.  Has anyone done this?  I guess I'm also afraid of losing more or ALL my hair if I have these chemicals put into my hair.  Has anyone gotten a perm after WLS and what were the results?  Thanks.

Hi Tana,

While I did continue to color my hair, I'd be leery of perming it because of the possibility of breakage.

Go forward carefully and know that the hair loss, while distressing to us, is generally not noticible to the general public and stops within a few months. Eventually your hair will come back in just fine. 

Hang in there!
