I was the only one that could tell. When my hair was wet the thinning sections were visible. It all grew back tho. It was a little difficult to go through the hairloss phase but I have long forgotten about it and so will you.

I only noticed it in the shower drain.  It really wasn't noticeable in person, whether by others, or by me looking in a mirror. It really wasn't a big deal at all-- I started "shedding" at about 2 months post-op, and it stopped by about month 6. No biggie whatsoever... just keep taking your vitamins as directed and get in all your protein, and you'll be fine-- the more nutritionally deficient you allow yourself to get, the more hair you will lose, so follow doctor's orders.

Ok, this one was kinda bad for me, I did lose a lot of hair, in fact one spot did become kind of bald. I was so upset. However it did come back. In fact naturally I have curly hair and for awhile it wouldn't even curl, and I am just noticing now that the curls are coming back. Kinda weird I know. Just hang in there and it will get better, if you cut it shorter it will look thicker. Also for me I choose to wear weave for awhile, some people told me this wouldn't be good for my hair but I didn't notice it hurting it at all, in fact when I took it out my hair had grown a lot and was much thicker.

Ummmmmmm.........hmmmmmmm.......
I haven't counted them lately, but nobody has commented about noticing that any are missing. I have been using Jane's volumizing shampoo lately, though, so maybe that's the secret.

Mine has gotten a lot thinner though I think it's mostly noticeable only by me. It stopped falling out bad about 4 months ago and I haven't noticed any regrowth yet. I've got my fingers crossed though!
