I have super-straight hair, but in my case the extra work amounted to "put some goop in your hands and scrunch everything around," which I can totally do. Hopefully it's not too bad for your hair!

I shaved my head 6 weeks post op to raise money for children's cancer research. I've never regretted that choice and I still keep it super short!

My hair started falling out about two months ago. It is scary how thin it is getting. I went two weeks ago and had it cut into a pixie. I thought just like you did. Maybe if I didn't see as much in the sink I would feel better about it. Now I just hope the hair loss starts to slow down a little

Yeah that's what I'm thinking too! Just seeing less of it come out would help!! I hope yours slows down too and that you enjoy your pixie cut!

I am not having surgery until mid to end of august and I am scared to death about losing my hair. I have great hair that gets me compliments as well, tho mine is short. I wish I knew more about the hair loss part of all of this....feeling scared is an understatement....

It is a normal part of this process from what I understand. I can share though that I've been shedding for 7-8 months now and not a single person has noticed! Good luck!!
