I did something stupid

So I had my surgery 3/21 and last month I got a curly perm! It was stupid of me to not ask questions before getting it or yet alone even doing research! I'm having a lot of hair loss! And was wondering if that perm has anything to do with it!? I tired doing research online after the fact to see it it effects it but I can't really find anything... Do anyone know if it does effect it? Has anyone gotten a perm since surgery? Pleaseeee Helppp

Although perms can be damaging to the hair, everyone has different results.  It may not be the perm, it may be just be coincidence that it happened after the perm but could be a post op result.

Thank you for your reply it deff made me feel better! 

Perms don't usually make hair fall out, at least that's never been my experience(though granted, I haven't had one in ages...). They do, however,  cause hair to weaken and break off. So you can end up with what feels like a buzzcut underneath the rest of your hair.

That said: I had my surgery after yours and I started losing hair this week. People say it's around the 3rd month? Well my 8th week was up on Thursday, so I'm in the 9th week presently and the shedding event has begun. You might just be getting around to getting your fallout.

i was thinking the same thing but couldnt help but wonder id that had anything to do with it. thanks for your reply appreciate it.

Most WLS patients experience telogen effluvium. Basically, the shock of surgery and rapid weight loss make your hair fall out, often for several months. Search "hair loss" on the forums.

I was a teenager in the 80's and my sister was learning to be a cosmetologist. I have had some horrifically bad perms- hair breaking off at the scalp, dyed hot pink by mistake, you name it. With that said, I would at times lose a bit of hair from a perm back then. Not by the handful excluding the one spiral perm where nearly all of my hair broke off at the scalp. If it is the perm, it will stop shortly I think... I only remember it being an issue at least the first 2 or so times washing my hair.
