I shaved my head when my hair started coming out in big clumps. (Nobody tells you that it kind of hurts when your hair falls out) Does anyone know how long it takes for the tiny hairs left to fall out? I can pull them out with zero effort. They’re kind of driving me nuts 😂

Hi there, Yes Maureen, it does take a bit for it to all grow back for some of us…

I started with a cut! Then it started all falling out 😂

I had mine buzzed, and the little fuzzies came out quick and easy- not so much as I showered- but when I buffed the head with a dry towel- lol! Then I wore a soft knit nightcap which caught the rest as it came out at night as I moved around. It was all gone within a few days. (And yes, it does feel like the scalp is sunburned!!)

If they are that easy to pull out wouldn't rubbing it with a washcloth in the shower get rid of them?

I chose not to shave my head (but cut it shorter). It took about 6wks from falling out in clumps to looking like GI Jane, lol
