It helped me..... maybe it will help you too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-did-you-get-it-chopped#post-280341 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 08:25:12 +0000 erwoo 280341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunglasses: I try to use hair ties that don't pull on my hair and that helps. At least when I don't feel it pull I feel like it's not as bad. LOL! But the hair ties that pull are the ones that keep my hair up. Oh well. I hope it stops soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-did-you-get-it-chopped#post-280319 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 07:48:16 +0000 cvbee 280319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was thinking about doing a big chop, but now I think I'll do a medium chop (from boob-length to shoulder-length) and maybe add bangs. (I go back and forth between having bangs and not having bangs every few years for my entire life and it's been 2 years of no bangs). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-did-you-get-it-chopped#post-280142 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 22:27:58 +0000 Mrs. Pen 280142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunglasses: I will be 23 in two weeks haha.

About 7-8 inches. </p> <p>But my hair still falls out a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-did-you-get-it-chopped#post-280125 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 22:08:30 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 280125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erwoo: That's what I do, but then there's so much on my hair elastic or when I try to tie up my hair again. If I wasn't so chicken, I'd go with a pixie cut. I've done it in 2000 but now, I'm not so sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-did-you-get-it-chopped#post-280124 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 22:07:16 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 280124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: I have no clue what that is. I'm googling it now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-did-you-get-it-chopped#post-278961 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 02:06:07 +0000 erinpye 278961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I powered through the hair loss (mine just fell out in the front, the little baby hairs, so it looks like my forehead is even BIGGER). Now about 6 weeks later, I already have the hair coming back in and it's not too bad. If you want to keep your long hair and can make it through a few awkward weeks, it doesn't take long to get enough hair back that you don't look weird. In the meantime, just creatively cover it with side swept bangs and wear it down! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-did-you-get-it-chopped#post-278705 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 17:34:34 +0000 erwoo 278705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not yet but I really should just get it chopped b/c it's scary seeing how much is falling out. I have my hair tied up pretty much all the time. Even when I'm sleeping b/c I don't want to see hair on my pillow in the morning. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-did-you-get-it-chopped#post-278677 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 17:23:25 +0000 katdevargas 278677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recently got it trimmed (first time in 13 months, hallelujiah), but I still totally look like a crazy person. since everything is all different lengths (and textures now, too. pregnancy messed with my hair), even if I pull it back I have these crazy little baby hairs that pop up all over my head<br /> eta: but it's still long: below the bottoms of my shoulderblades </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-did-you-get-it-chopped#post-278593 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 16:09:53 +0000 Sweet T 278593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did. I had about 12 inches cut off. I didn't think it made much of a difference with the PP hair loss. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-did-you-get-it-chopped#post-278585 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 16:02:59 +0000 BoogieBea 278585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, I like my hair on the shorter side anyway. I couldn't put it up because I was actually losing my hair around my temples. Puttig it up just displayed my balding spots more. I'm a big fan of the textured bob. Super easy to maintain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-did-you-get-it-chopped#post-278580 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 15:59:55 +0000 heffalump 278580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunglasses: Have you tried taking biotin? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-did-you-get-it-chopped#post-278540 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 15:25:33 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 278540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooops I voted. My bad:) what I meant by my vote is: I am saving my hair for PP so I can chop it then. It needs it now I guess but I'll wait so 1. I can have less hair loss 2. I can feel "brand new" :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-did-you-get-it-chopped#post-278520 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 15:14:26 +0000 Mrsbells 278520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really needed a hair cut so I did </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-did-you-get-it-chopped#post-278514 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 15:11:42 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 278514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Superhero: I just wrote a post about hair. white hair. egh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-did-you-get-it-chopped#post-278122 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 11:05:21 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 278122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cut my hair short at the end of my pregnancy and am actually growing it a bit. I did get my bangs cut differently and started dying my hair. I have a grey streak in my bangs and half of it feel out pp! So traumatizing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-did-you-get-it-chopped#post-278119 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 11:02:23 +0000 purrpletulips 278119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.sunglasses: sorry no pics in mind and not sure how vintage you wanted to go; the image that comes to my mind is a 1920s style do, sleek and short </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-did-you-get-it-chopped#post-278110 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 10:53:30 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 278110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@purrpletulips: Yes I am! I just think shorter with volume is the way to go. I would love a vintage style do, but I find the vintage is all in the finger waves and clearly Idon't know how to do that. Any pics in mind? I've been searching and no luck. </p> <p>@Goldilocks1107: I agree curly and short isn't a good combo. Plus even if you are losing hair at least curls hides "bald spots" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-did-you-get-it-chopped#post-278108 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 10:53:15 +0000 HLK208 278108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just started losing a ton of hair :-/ I hate feeling hair fall on me all day or loose hairs dangling from my shirt and touching my arm whenever I move. I'm just putting it up for a little while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-did-you-get-it-chopped#post-278033 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 10:13:48 +0000 Goldilocks1107 278033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope - my hair is finally getting to where I can put it in a ponytail. I'm just sucking it up with the hair loss. Plus, with curly hair going too short just ends up looking ridiculous on me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-did-you-get-it-chopped#post-278030 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 10:12:59 +0000 purrpletulips 278030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.sunglasses: aren't you planning a vintage themed baptism? If so, get a vintage style shorter do. </p> <p>Fortunately my PP hairloss wasn't significant but I did get it trimmed shorter once LO started pulling it while nursing. This time around I'm getting 2" chopped before LO even arrives (well as long as I don't go into labor before my appt next Wed). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-did-you-get-it-chopped#post-278027 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 10:11:47 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 278027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, 13 inches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-did-you-get-it-chopped#post-278019 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 10:09:08 +0000 MamaMoose 278019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm doing a pre-partum chop! A good friend of mine lost her mom to breast cancer years ago and this October (breast cancer awareness month) she is trying to get as many people as she can to donate their hair to locks of love with her. I've done it a bunch in the past so I decided to sign up. Baby is due in November and I think it will be nice to have short hair when he/she gets here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-did-you-get-it-chopped#post-277993 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 09:57:30 +0000 luckypenny 277993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just need a new bang option to cOver this receding hairline thanks to pp hairloss ughhh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-did-you-get-it-chopped#post-277991 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 09:56:55 +0000 mrsjazz 277991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went super short...but since I have a receding hairline right now, no haircut can save my looks. It's horrid, like Naomi Campbell style horrid. </p>
