Hi everyone,

I have a a little dilemma I've been having hair loss for a couple of weeks now. The problem is every time I brush my hair I have a lot falling out I don't like it but I know we all have to go through this. Can any of you who have experience this already know if cutting my hair will help me with not losing as much hair as I do now? Did any of you cut your hair and seen an improvement as far as hair loss goes? I don't want to cut my hair but if it helps I will cut it. Thanks for the feedback.

 

Arcy

I dont think  cutting your hair will help with any hair loss, but it should make it look a little more fuller - I had to cut about 3-4 inches off my hair recently and it hasn't stop the hair loss, but made my ends look less straggly / more full.

Well, I don't think it'll help it from falling out. Maybe just make it less noticeable. I totally chopped my hair off. Gave myself a pixie cut (think Halle Barry). And then I wore wigs. Luv my wigs!

Www.lingeriediva.com has nice and cute wigs for kinda cheap. Thats where I'm heading when mine starts falling out.

As others have said it doesn't make a difference with helping you loose less hair, but a good cut will make it look fuller and less straggly.  I cut mine about 5 months post op and have kept it short.  Once my hair started growing back I needed to cut it again so I wouldn't look like a throw back from the 80's with my mullet.

Mine has been falling out since December and I still have it long - down to my bra strap in the back - long. I have noticed that I am starting to have regrowth, I have a tone of short hairs that are about 1-2" long, so hopefully, things will improve.

I just cut mine last week.   LOVE IT!!  It's MUCH fuller and with my thinner face actually made me look younger!   Win/Win!

Cutting wont stop the loss, but it could make your hair look healthier and thicker.  I cut mine to shoulder length with layers when it was falling out.
