I have thick but fine hair and I luckily have no experience with hair loss.  But I know everyone has different experiences

I am 12 weeks out and I keep waiting for the hair loss to happen, too.  I just had my 3-month appointment yesterday and my PA said that sometimes it doesn't start until 6 months.  I have really thick hair too, so I am hoping that it won't be noticeable to anyone but me if I do start to lose hair.

One thing I have noticed is that my fingernails WILL NOT GROW.  So frustrating.  And since they're made out of the same stuff as hair, that worries me a little that the hair loss is on its way...

ok after reading all these posts I am a little scared.  I was told that as long as I got in enough protein every day I wouldnt lose any.  I am am 4 months out and so far so good.  but I have just noticed that its seemed to stop growing.  I am due for my root touchup and I cancelled because it hasnt grown out much.

I have heard that too.  I am 7 weeks post surgery and I am planning to get a wig or two.  I am really hoping that it won't happen, or course, but I am expecting it.  If anyone has additional input as to when this will happen please let us know.

If you are going loose hair it usually starts to happen around the sixth month.  My hair loss continued for almost two years - it came back in really curly - almost fuzzy and about 30 months started to return to normal texture although the volume/thickness has not returned.

I always get at least 100 grams of protein per day and have taken biotin since six months prior to surgery.  Everyone is different -

This is just what happened to me.
