Good news for me! This week I discovered that the regrowth has reached enough length that I can again use my regular hairsticks! It's been a long time coming... my hairloss started in spring of 2021 and went on for quite a while.
Thanks, SandyBottom
I haven't been able to pinpoint any one reason. I have lost a good bit of weight this year but it was very gradual and because of healthier lifestyle changes - one of which being my new job/training program which is challenging but I wouldn't say stressful. I don't oil my scalp, just the ends. Never had COVID, but I did get a little cold a week or two ago but that was after the shedding began.
It's a mystery, but that dermatologist appointment is tomorrow and I'm going to keep my spirits up
Oh sing me a song of the sea,
Selkie, siren, sisters thee.

That's so exciting, embee! Congratulations on your regrowth
I was very sick after Christmas2020/NewYear2021 and waited a couple months to get my Covid vax because I'd been so sick (not covid, but a terrible sinus infection). After I had the Covid vax and spring started, I lost about 1/3 to 1/2 my thickness. Every day, the brush was full of shed hair. There wasn't enough long hair left to use the sticks in any bun other than a topknot... everything else just slipped away and the stick fell out.
Now I can make a bun a the back of my head and a single stick will hold it all day long. Again. Finally! It's not a big bun, but it has enough body to hold a stick.
My hair is thinnish anyway, and my sticks are not thick or heavy at all, mostly MeiFa (no longer made).

I am still shedding....
embee, that sounds great! Sorry you got sick, though!
I am regrowing my hair just fine. No more breakage for me ever since giving up the bun (my fault I bunned wrong, too tightly). I lose a considerable amount less hair on washday as well.
Yes, sheds in my experience can easily span 3 or 4 months but eventually, so far, subside

I thought I was off the hook for a COVID shed since it's been a little over 3 months since getting better, but...the past few days my brush is saying "It ain't over till it's over." Oh well, at least I'm healthy.
I pray for inner peace, family peace, world peace...Imagine whirled peas
