strange hair question, does it hurt before it starts to fall out?
I've purposed kept my very hair short knowing from my past Weigh****chers experience that I'll probably lose some hair. I'm 2 1/2 months out and timing sounds about right at three months but I don't recall my scalp actually being sensitive like it is now.
Anyone have any issues with a sensitive scalp? Could it be the onset of hair loss or perhaps something else? I'm very good on my vitamins, liquids, and protein. I have noticed that I'm eating very few carbs but I don't know if that would have anything to do with hair....

No, it doesn't usually hurt. I'm not sure what would cause your scalp to be more sensitive than normal. If it's bothering you a lot, I would talk to your doc. If it's just a little sensitive, I probably wouldn't worry. Do you notice more sensitive skin anywhere else?

I thought that mine was while I was losing hair... not sure if it was related at all after reading Kelly's post. My sister who lost most of her hair from chemo also complained of sensitive/sore (as if you had your hair pulled back in a tight pony tail all day) scalp as she was losing hair? I am 1 week shy of 6 months and am still losing... lucky that I had a lot of hair to begin with, but, you can definitely see my scalp. Lot's of tiny hairs growing in.... have kept mine longer, only because with it longer I do not have to blow dry and can pull it up or back. Eventually I'll have to cut it though....

It did not hurt physically. I did not experience a sensitive scalp or skin elsewhere. It does hurt to see that much hair coming off of your head. I had my hairdresser recommend that I add layers to my hair to give it a look of volume. Which definitely helped. The hair loss slowed down again about 8 months post-op. Since then I have regrown my hair and it is just above my shoulders all the same length. No adverse affects.
