I cut all my hair off yesterday.
All the hair loss from stress made my super long hair absolutely lifeless and gross looking,
So I cut it.
Short, super short.
Now I have regret.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can make this new hair more voluminous?
I just need this new hair to work because I’m losing confidence and self esteem.
I’m sorry @GoldenRex.
There are certain specialized shampoos and mousse that increase volume to your hair.
I’m not sure which ones are the best.
Maybe you can consult with a dermatologist or hair dresser.
Good luck @GoldenRex.
Thanks, man.
I might try some special shampoo,
I just don’t want to make the hair loss worse.
The hair dresser said the cut should create volume,
I’m just sick to death of dealing with hair…
Sending supportive hugs g-Rex.
I use stay in conditioner sometimes to help my hair. I have super curly hair though… maybe it’ll work?
Also brushing it in a volumous way when it’s wet can help!
I bet you look awesome with short hair!
Maybe you’re not menopausal but perhaps this could help.

Try a texturising spray or powder. It can make a bird’s nest effect, but I’m into that, just use it sparingly if you want to avoid the messy look.
Batiste is good texturising spray, I don’t know if you have that brand in America.
Mousue? I used that stuff back in the eighties. I must have had quite an ego back then.
I know your probably on top of it but have you had some blood work lately? I just say because my ex mrs is hypothyroid and when her thyroid is out of whack she loses hair and it gets thin!
I talked to the doctor about possible thyroid issues and they seem to think its not likely,
Still, I’m getting blood drawn for labs this week just to be sure.
It never hurts to check.
Good idea.
Your blood test results may reveal a lot.
I bet you look good with short hair. Girls with big eyes can really make that look work.
I hope you find a solution.
Be calm
it doesnt matter alot either tall or short
It can be shorter or taller
It doesnt matter alot
Same thing happened to me, @GoldenRex. I have been hypothyroid almost all of my adult life. Ever since I was put on Lithium. It induced hypothyroidism in me. My hair falls out sometimes and gets real thin and other times it grows and gets thicker. Now, that I’m older, (58), it seems to be staying thinner these days. So, I just keep it really short all of the time. That way it looks thicker. My hair is naturally wavy so that helps it look like it has body. I suggest you get a perm to achieve more body to your hair. (I used to be a cosmetologist).
Blow dry it upside down and use a really light hairspray to spray it while upside down. Butt I guess that depends on the cut/style of that’ll work or make it look weird. When I had short hair that’s what I did for volume. My hair is stick straight and baby fine. I don’t get volume for ■■■■.
Can you talk to your dr about it?
Take tests and talk different ideas and solutions for you?
If nothing else seems to work and it means a lot to you you could try hair extensions and if you can then grow your hair back and let it take its time to do so or are you bald and don’t want to be you could do a hair transplant.
Or wear a wig till it grows back.
I also suggest blow dry upside down and the texturing hair spray
I have had hypothyroidism since I was a teenager, treated by daily use of the synthetic thyroid hormone levothyroxine. I periodically get a blood test to monitor the condition. Fortunately, I have never had any hair fall out.
@GoldenRex. Both when I had shoulder-length hair and now that I have even shorter hair, I typically just blowdry my hair on low heat setting with head upside down and then let my hair air dry the rest of the way. This seems to be gentle on the scalp and hair and seems to add volume. I don’t use any additional hair products (other than shampoo) because of allergies.
