Default another hair question....

ok so i am "shedding" quite a bit these days...when i am done blowdrying my hair the brush is full of hair....luckily i have very thick hair and i dont think its THAT noticable... so here is my question,,i get my hair foiled about every 10-12 weeks. I am due to have it done again and I am afraid if i do the bleach they put in it or whatever chemicals are in the stuff they paint on will hurt my hair or make it fall out faster?? any hairdressers here or does anyone else know the answer to this??? thanks again in advance for all the answers i know you'll give me!!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

I've had mine colored twice since surgery....I don't think it made it fall out any more or worse....this usually kicks in around 50 pounds and can continue for a while...I still lose some hair in the shower and I'm nearly 9 months out....

Take biotin, keep your protein up...your body is stealing protein from other areas to sustain...and the hair unfortunately suffers!

There may be too many variables to determine whether you'll lose more hair in foiling or not. Chemicals used, experience of technician, possible vitamin deficiencies, etc. You may have no problem, or there may be a significant problem. It's your decision. If you're worried about massive hair loss from this process, then why not just not get it done for the next couple of times? Work on keeping the hair you have instead of gambling with more hair loss.
