    Default Hair loss, how bad really is it?

    Can someone please tell me how bad the hair loss will be and when to expect it. It is some strands, or chunks fallingout? I need to be mentally prepare for this.

    Thanks

    It really depends on your body and your diet, this will vary from person to person.
    try not to stress...cause stress can cause hair loss too

    I lost a lot of strands, never in chunks. Best advice I got on it was 1. Stop worrying at one year you won't have this problem and will be sooo much closer to goal 2. Get a wig if it gets too bad, hell get two wigs and shake it up a bit.
