I reached goal in January and have been maintaining since. During the losing phase, around month four, my shower drain started looking like a small animal. Wash days went from maybe 10 hairs to what felt like 100. Weeks 14–22 were the worst. I didn’t panic—mostly—but I did start eating more protein at breakfast (Greek yogurt, around 30g), taking a daily multivitamin, and wearing loose claw clips instead of tight ponytails. By week 26, wash-day shedding was down to maybe 20–30 hairs. Now at month eight, I have a halo of 2-inch baby hairs at my temples and my part looks less wide. It felt endless while I was in it, but it did slow. For those further out, when did your shedding finally settle, and did the regrowth catch up before you noticed?
