Hair lost and locs

 I am asking this hair cause it is mostly my sistas and brothas...


I have not had my surgery yet..hell, I have not even had my first seminar yet, Will go on the 13th of July. 

But this hair lost things I keep reading about. How will it affect my locs? Does any one know??? Should I do a pre-surgery shave and start again after my body settles down??? I really do not want to I been locking for almost 5 years now. 

I have locs also, I cut my hair in January for the first time in 13years, all because my hair broke around the edges for first time after I had my baby, i am praying that my hair doesn't break after surgery. I will keep you updated my surgery is tomorrow

 Congrats and good luck...

I keep hearing if we keep our protein up...we should be ok...i just dont know*playing in hair now*

My BBF has locs she is 7 months out from BP and she has just meantion to me she has noticed her hair is thining. She has been growing them for about 5yrs now. She hasnt said anything about cutting them. So hopefully you won't have to cut yours.

Good Luck Vine

 Please keep me posted

I am just over 4 weeks out and I have locs .......not everyone will lose hair so I am not going to cut min unless i have to,  will keep u posted

I would totally not cut my hair. Everybody doesn't lose

hair, I didn't (I don't have locks).  I started supplements

before wls, especially Biotin.   After wls I've never

played around with not taking my vitamins or not getting

enough protein.  Some people say that everybody loses

hair but that is just not true.  If you take your vitamins you
 
probably won't have a problem.

 Thank you..

I started locing in 2004 and had the surgery in 2006. My locs have thrived like crazy. And Ihave to be honest there were times on and off that I forgot to take my vitamins for a good bit. As you get farther out it's easy and VERY possible to get your protein in everyday so just keep that in mind. My locs have not fallen out at all. They are to the middle of my back now and fairly healthy!

So what I am going to take from you all.. is PROTEIN PROTEIN PROTEIN add in some biotin...and do not stress.
