All of the sudden, I have begun to have awful hair loss at 10 months out ... I mean, my hair is as thin as it gets. I just started taking supplements to help...but I hear that using Men's Rogaine is the best (even if you are a woman). Anyone have some advice? I am going to cut my hair pretty short to make it look better.  It looks so stringy and like I am an old woman or something.  I cannot believe this is happening!

Well, I was just hoping by the Grace of God it didn't happen to me, but it did after 8 months.  I just had to cut it all off.  I researched, researched and researched and honestly from my knowledge it's just something that happens.  I tried taking Biotin, but that didn't work.  I will tell you this, it will grow back.  After I finally decided to cut it, it's growing back nice and healthy.

Arrghh!  I really don't want to cut my hair short!  What a bummer.....but, I have no choice, I look ridiculous with it long (it just touches my shoulder now).

I'm 10 months out and I thought I was going to be lucky and my hair wouldn't fall out......well it stated last month and I cut my hair really short so I'm hoping it will start to grow back. I'm sure it will take awhile, but I'm ok with it. Loosing the weight and gaining back my health out weighs the hair loss......
