For anyone freaking out about hair loss...it happens to most people and there is nothing you can eat or take to stop it happening.  But dont stress, it will stop eventually.  I lost about 40% of my volume from 3 - 7 months out and it DOES grow back. I noticed this yesterday when I had dried my hair straight for the first time in a while.  Not sure I'll be wearing it like that again for a few months!...lmao :)

REALLY bad photo, but my new muppet re-growth that I was rather excited about made my mum laugh!

Not sure whether to laugh or cheer! I suppose with curly hair it is easier to hide?

Lol....my hair isn't that curly normally, but I have been wearing it up a lot and only washing it a couple of times a week and just dry shampooing on the in between days. I found that if its a bit messier and a little dirty, it looks thicker than wearing it sleek and straight.

I found a chunk of regrowth at the back that looks like someone has just cut a big piece out of the back of it (like kids do when they cut their own hair). It really is quite a funny mess.

Mine didn't fall out in chunks.  So I can't get a cool photo like yours.  I just have singles through out.

BAND REMOVED 9-4-12-fought insurance to get sleeve and won! Sleeved 1/22/13! Five years out and trying to get that last 15 pounds back off.

I have the same thing!  I am constantly spraying the little hairs down.

I'd even settle for muppet hair at this point. LOL Congrats on your regrowth and of course your mind-boggling weight loss.

Lol...it will come.  I literally hadn't noticed anything until yesterday and there is a good inch or so of regrowth there.

"my new muppet re-growth "

Woman, you almost made me spit my tea all over the keyboard. 

Thank you for that very illustrative and reassuring update on hair regrowth.  I think my own hair loss has slowed down finally at 6.5 months, and I'm curious as to what the new hair will look like.
