Hair concerns, should I get rid of it all?

I know this is an issue for many people, their hair thinning and coming out after surgery. Mine has always been fine and thin thanks to hormones from being heavy, but it seems to be even more so, at least I believe so. I was considering just getting rid of it all and starting fresh. Anyone just lop all their hair off into a tight pixie, or even go as far as to shave it? My only worry is if my head isn't a good shaved shape, I can't just have them put my hair back on!

Edit: I want to thank everyone for their support! I did go have it cut. Not QUITE a pixie, since my hair is insanely curly and I love my curls. I knew once it dried it would shrink right up which it has. It's short and comfortable and despite looking a little like a wild person with my curls untamed, I love it. Already I feel better and it looks thicker (even though I know it's still the same hair before!)

I never lost a lot of hair, but would definitely go for a cute pixie cut. If you can, also get some nice colour done to make it more stylish. There are some awesome products you can use at home if you don't want to shell out for a salon colour

What length/shape is it NOW? Not EVERYONE loses hair, but, when they do, historically, it happens around month 4.

I lost very little hair. My sister is a career hair stylist, and a very smart lady. She wouldn't let me spend $, on a lot of "hair saving miracle products". Her advice to me was to go easy on blow drying/curling irons/etc, during the vital months...To just be good to my hair. To HELP this, she gave me a cute cut/color, that I fell in love with, that was super easy to maintain...and I kept it, for years and years---without EVER needing a blowdryer...lol

My hair is collar length at the moment and naturally curly. I'm coming up on five months post op (can't believe it's been that long already!). My hair has always been an issue for me, though the shorter I've had it has always made it feel the fullest.

I should add that I don't do anything harsh to my hair because of my history of thinner hair issues. I let it air dry, no curling irons, or blow dryers or even any brushes. I use a comb to gently detangle if need me, and when it is wet after a shower I use a bit of Suave curl defining mouse mixed with a small bit of volumizing gel and work it through my hair.

Then I would absolutely get a super short do!

I went with a short cut. But mainly because it was less traumatic every morning if it was short hairs on the pillow then all the long strands of hair! Most people didn't notice my hair loss but I did. And now I honestly like my short 'do and think it suits me better. I figured if it ever got really bad I would just have fun with wigs trying colors and styles I wouldn't normally do but it never actually got to that point. I don't think I would go so far as to shave it all - try a pixie cut if you want to cut it. And the hair does grow back - right now I have a multitude of lengths of hair thanks to being at different stages of regrowth - another good reason for the short 'do because with the more frequent cuts, it evens it out quicker.

I've always lost what I consider to be a significant amount of hair weekly due to thyroid issues. Due to that, I've developed a routine of washing my hair only about once per week, and no blow drying. Sometimes, once in a great while I will use a drying brush when it is almost dry to add some style. Otherwise, I put it up in a clip until dry and it falls down with some body and wave.

Now, my surgical team told me that people who lose their hair are not getting in their protein. You might try upping your protein and adding some hair and nail vitamins?? Just a thought. Everyone needs a different amount. The minimum amount may not be enough. And then, I am inclined to think that some people may lose regardless, but for what reason?
Do what makes you feel good!
Mine has gone silver and I'm getting a bit tired of trying to keep up with coloring it. I said when I decide to finally let it go completely gray, I think I'll just shave it off so it will all grow out gray. My husband just sort of stares blankly at me when I say that. HA!
If you do decide to shave it, hope it grows back thicker for you!!

I take my multivitamins every day. Protein, my surgeon wants me at 90grams, though most days I manage 60-70 with trying. I've only managed that many grams when I've really pushed it and just felt blah. I may just need to pu**** until that level of intake feels more natural than it does now.

Yeah, you may need to up your protein. Possibly try getting in just one more 30-gram protein shake. It is hard at first. I struggled to get enough the first few weeks. It does get easier. Maybe gelatin capsules to help?
