Darlene, I believe mine started falling out significantly on day 11. I decided it would be a good idea for me to buzz it really short so the loss of hair would be be so dramatic. It was rather traumatizing for me to see the hair falling out even if I expected it to do so. By buzzing it, I felt more in control of the situation AND I was surprised that I didn't really all that bad at all with super buzzed short hair.
I ended up getting a really good wig which I LOVED too!!
It looked identical to my real hair. In fact no one could tell.
Take care.
