I am really hating the loose hangy empty double chin sack. I was feeling good getting my hair colored and cut Saturday until I realized that my double chin is horribly saggy.  I usually laugh at all the wrinkly saggy skin everywhere BUT not there!!!!!

I am 4 months out and my hair is falling out. No surprise there, but I want to get my short cut shorter and would like to go blonder for summer. Has anyone colored their hair while it has been falling out?
