Yeah, mine started late and I thought I had dodged the bullet but oh no, all the protein, vits and bioten didn't work to keep it on my head instead of in the sink.  I ended up cutting it short and have kept it that way.  The good news is that even 3 yrs out, I have curls which I never had before.  Never in my 64 yrs did I have curls so it's ok.  thin curls, but that is better than thin straight.

I think mine started thinning around 4 months.  I already had wigs picked out it case it got to thin but fortunately it wasn't too bad.  I got my hair cut short and loved it so much I keep it short now.  If you haven't started yet start taking  Biotin and using Nioxin Shampoo and Conditioner.  My straight hair actually came back with some body.  No curls like Price but it holds a curl better now it looks fuller.

Awesome on the weight loss!

Mine didn't start until almost 7 months... I thought I dodged the bullet too, but not that lucky.

My former fine wavy hair is now fine, uber thin, and stick straight!. I don't care how humid it is. I let it air dry now as it turns out as straight as if its blow dried. 8 1/2 mo out. It makes me feel unattractive having this thin straight hair. :-(
