really messed up how people are trying to tell you about your own hair loss. as someone with thick, curly hair, i can see very clearly what you've lost and that you've lost a lot. and you are allowed to feel upset about it! i am sorry there's people out there downplaying what you've gone through because they don't seem to understand that people with thick hair can lose it.

Girl I am so sorry you’re going through this ❤️ I’ve struggled with hair loss too, and I used to have a TON of hair like you. I’ve had people say the same thing (“but you don’t look like it!”) that doesn’t mean it’s less impactful or less of a loss. Hugs

When you’ve already lost so much, losses like this hit even harder. Healthy people don’t get it.

If my hair thinned out that much in just a few months I’d be deeply concerned, shocked, and sad. Sorry you’re going through this❤️‍🩹

This has happened to me too and I get the same reaction because i still have a lot of hair, but I’ve lost so much because of warfarin

I’m losing so much hair too, and my hair was fine to begin with, it’s a huge stress and very hard to accept. Thank you for sharing 🩷

I remember when I got a really bad EBV flare up, it was like bad to the point I didn't recover properly, I also lost the hair on my legs and my pits. Weird places to lose hair? Lol, silly joke, I was very sick.

i have extremely thick hair and had severe hair loss from covid, i completely understand the struggle of being dismissed and shut down. just because your hair looks normal to others doesn’t mean you don’t have the devastating grief of losing so much. i’m lucky to be seeing lots of regrowth, sending you all the love <3
