Re: Hair Loss

Mine started falling out at 3 weeks. I just shaved my head as it was getting to messy. I did not do the wigs (I'm too cheap) just did the scarfs and hats, was a little cold during the winter. Getting my first hair cut this Friday. Hoping the cowlick stay, kind of like the curly look.
