I just put two and two together that I had a major shed. I had been in denial for a long time, blaming my conditioner for making my hair too smooth and flat. So I switched conditioners to see... and noticed the same thing. Then I had comments from people around me asking if I cut my hair because my bun looked smaller than usual. I figured it was just my hair compressing down from needing a wash, and brushed it off.
Then reality set in when I was putting my hair up in a bun, and my large ficcare that I used to wear every day was too big for my bun. Then when I was trying to smooth my hair down to my head, I noticed that I had A LOT of baby hairs, about 4" long. I thought it was my bangs/a spot I trimmed too far back on. But then I noticed it was EVERYWHERE.
I know what caused this... I lost a lot of weight pretty quickly, so I know I did this to myself. I was just in denial as my brush filled up more quickly than usual as the pounds flew off.
But at least my hair is growing back.... but I'm at a loss for what to do with what's left.
I've cut from FTL all the way up to BCL now, and at least the thinness isn't as super noticeable because of that. But it also makes me want to make the best of what I have and treat myself to something a bit shorter, because I need to wait for the baby hairs to catch up anyway.
