Guest guest Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 Hi! I am pre-op, approved but waiting for a date for surgery (they have said it will probably be within the next 3 weeks.) My question is about perms. I read on this list that you don't recommend having a perm during the phase where your hair is falling out. That makes sense. But what about getting one within the first couple months post-op before the loss starts? I am in a catch-22. It is too soon for me to get another perm now, but if I wait 7 months or more until the hair loss supposedly stops, I'll look like a shaggy dog! What should I do? And when does the hair loss usually start? Have any of you avoided the hair loss by bulking up on extra protein? Thanks for the advice...now that this is a reality for me, it is the little things that I have so many questions about!!!
