Hair loss

The hair loss for me lasted from 4 months to 6 months. I lost a lot, but I have A LOT. Even after tons of loss, it was thick. I actually enjoyed the thinning. Now, as the hair is growing back, I am dealing with very thick hair for the first three inches and thinner at the bottom. So, I just went short....a bit below the ears. It is amazing how much healthier my hair looks at this length. I really think short hair looks good on most people who are thinning. Try it -- it will grow back and the thickness will return. You will not go bald. Hang in there....

This ..points up..is why I'm thinking to cut my hair short for the summer..

Here's what my surgeon said last week about hair loss.

1.  There's nothing that we can do to stop it.  No vitamins, protein etc will make a difference.

2.  The hairloss will stop when the rapid weight loss phase is over. 

I noticed that mine stopped around month 10 and is growing back in. 

so the hair loss stops when the fat loss stops Lol ? doesnt GOD JUST have an amazing way of evening things out ?!!

I mean .. how many fat ladies do U know who DON'T have amazing hair .... it would be kinda unfair if we got to keep it all ( though I'd be the FIRST in line LOL ) ....

Ech .. id rather have a short crop of hair than a mass of fluff around my waist ( not to mention diabetes , asthma, highblood pressure a nd a really really low quality of life ) .

I cant believe im actually thinking of cutting my hair !

Actually the ONLY thing thats holding me BACK right now is the absolute necessity of being EMPLOYED in front of the camera ... and hair being integral to being chosen ...

There are so many rad styles for short hair though!  Guess it depends on what you are modeling maybe?

3 months after any surgery will be the worst. So you have better to look forward to. Now that it is bad, if you make sure you get your vitamins and protien in, in about 3 more months you should see alot of improvement. Shorter haircut does help it not look so thin. Hair loss and regrowth have about a 3 month lag time, so what happened 3 months ago effects your hair today, and what you do today won't really show for 3 months. I had really thin hair to begin with, so when I lose hair, it is really noticable, but it's just something I work around. Parting my hair on the side also helps it not look so thin.

I'm right there at the three month mark... :(

I believe in accepting that 'This Too Shall Pass" so am not to worried about it.  I'm curious as to what will happen with mine since it's naturally curly, thin (but there's a lot of it), and I keep it cut short already...

Ava, when I hit goal, or close to goal, I need you to hide my jeans and t-shirts and take me shopping.   ROFL!!

 Absolutely  Ruthie !!  we have some really cool  fashion threads on here .... where we all  consult  for each other  and virtually style  one another's  new look  !  

Its amazing how  differently other  people  see you  than  you see yourself sometimes ... and  sometimes tiny little tweaks  you never thought of can make ALL the difference ... 

I think Ill post some pics too  and  see  what  the  lightweights would suggest  to improve me ....  ;) 

Now I'm scared.  LOL  Jeans, tshirts, and flannels are such comfort clothes.  hahaha

I do sorta see me as a Chico's kinda girl when I'm not in western attire to go riding.  ;-)

I'd be interested in seeing if the lw's have any suggestions to improve you too.  haha  You do pretty good on your own!
