Ok, it's me moaning again about my hair shedding and thinning over the past several months. It (finally? maybe?) appears to be resolving itself; the shedding slowed down noticeably, and I do see lots of baby hairs.
Since this started, I lost about a third of my circumference, and my longest hairs look pretty straggly - I have a pretty uneven 'hemline' going, now. (it is worse now than my signature file.. I'll try to update that to a current pic.) I predominately lost my longer hairs. I know it will take a good long time before my new growth can possibly catch up (provided the newbies do stay on my head, of course!). I'm wondering if I shouldn't just cut a good bit off to even up my hair... what do you guys think?
Those of you who have experienced major shedding and then regrowth, did you cut to allow the new growth to catch up, or just ride it out with the uneven length? Of course it's a personal decision, but I'm wondering what others have done in this situation and why, and how they felt about it.
Thanks!
