Hello all, as the title suggests my hair is falling out! I'm on mounjaro, 5 months in, and everytime I run a brush through my hair, or run my fingers through, I'm seeing multiple long strands of hair coming away.

My hair was fine to begin with so it's looking so thin! My question is should I just leave it and wait for the regrowth to start in a few months, or should I get it cut? I'm thinking going a lot shorter (it's about 4 inches longer than shoulder length) would help it look thicker? I've never really had my hair styled beyond a trim to keep it healthy so any advice would be very welcome.

Did it look better after a cut?

Mine started after about 6 months on it, went on for 3 months and now seems to have stopped. I was really worried it was going to keep on going but seems to have settled now and I can see regrowth starting

Definitely and it’s growing back now but was very distressing
