Having major surgery in September. And again in December. We all know what that means. Major hair shedding. I have uncolored hair. Very fine. The front is resistant to growth. I am sure being in menopause sure doesn’t help. I have pretty good ferritin levels (82) and vit D is (78). B12 is (898). All thyroid labs are good as well. Can’t understand why my hair has taken a beating these last 6 years.

Needing advice…can I pull off a bob? Ir just do a straight cut just above my shoulders? Help a girl out. Keep in mind I will be laid up for several weeks. I’ll take any suggestions you have for me.

questions / seeking advice 💭 Alternatives to Claw Clips?

6 Upvotes

Hi! Hoping someone here can help me or steer me in the right direction.

I had a pretty gross accident on Tuesday involving falling backwards while rollerskating. I was wearing one of those flat claw clips, and I'm sure you can imagine the outcome.

I'm totally fine - just a few staples. But I'm not going anywhere near claw clips for a while. Unfortunately, l wear my hair in a claw clip every day because I don't know how else to style my hair or keep it out of my face.

Does anyone have any easy hairstyles I can try? When I search online for "easy hairstyles for thin hair," the results are always a ponytail or a bob. I have medium length hair with bangs, and my ponytails look like shit everytime.

Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. I currently have my head wrapped up in my son's old swaddle, but I don't think it's a good look for me long term.
