Wondering when does this usually occur ? I'm 3 weeks out & have thin hair to begin with, I wear extensions to make my hair look fuller. I'm just nervous about the front falling out !!

I cut my hair short after about 3 - 4 months when my face thined out. But I don't think I had any hair loss.

I have very long hair and its very curly which makes it look thick but its not thick. I just started losing mine and I am 3 months out. I started taking Biotin 1000 mgs twice a day at about one month out. It hasn't seemed to help my hair but my nails are about an inch long and tough as ...well...nails. They look very nice but its almost impossible to keep up with the growth. (when I have trouble hitting the right keys on the keyboard I know its time to grind them down) I am still taking a handful out of my hair brush twice a day and my shower clogs up about every two weeks and my DH pulls a handful of hair out of the drain. I would rather lose hair than gain weight...

Often around 3-4 months post-op.

If you maintain a daily protein consumption of 70-100 grams you should have minimal to no hair loss.

Oh how I wish that were so. I average around 80g/day and am losing tons of hair. Fortunately I have it to lose but not for too many more months!!

I started to lose mine at 3 months and a week out.

I thought I heard 4 to 7 months you start losing hair. then someone on OH shared as
early as 3 months up to 9 months out.

I have very long hair so it seems like I shed a lot more. I like to use the word "Shed"
I have notice people with short hair report little or no hair loss. Maybe its because
the strands are waaaay shorter and you dont notice as much.

I heard it is normal to loose about a 100 hairs a day. I use to think it was 150 from
cosmetoloty school I use to take when I was little.

who knows.. all I kknow is that I am shedding and when I cook I have to have my hair in a
pony tail.

I try not to stress about it, but it is a concern.

If I"m losing hair, it's not noticable. I have a relatively short cut, but I do color it.
