PP HAIR LOSS!!

Oh my fucking god! My LO is 12 weeks old and I’ve just experienced my first PP hair loss whilst washing my hair in the shower and I’m generally surprised that I’ve got more than 5 strands of hair left on top of my bloody head!!! Anyone else??

The CLUMPS of hair coming out during hair wash is genuinely terrifying 😅😅

@Hannah so over it already.

You know, from the moment we get pregnant, til, basically FOREVER!! The amt of stuff we go thru for a baby is unreal. And then men calls us ‘emotional’. If only they knew. 13weeks PP here.

Same I’ve been losing hair for 8 weeks now 😭

Honestly every time I shower I get clumps and every time I brush my hair I have to empty my hairbrush because so much hair is coming out 🥲

Yes!!! My hair is everywhere 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Same here! Absolutely terrifying ! Are you guys using anything ?

@Amy Mack omg that was like mine!!!

Yep my baby constantly has hair in his grabby hands too 😱

13 weeks pp here and trying not to cry every time I wash or brush my hair 😫

@Jasmine I never remember it being like this 1st time round! 😭

Omg same! Mine started falling out at 3 months pp I lose a big ball every time I shower and it sheds every time I brush it 😩 I’m scared i won’t have anything left soon!

@Amy Mack no me either!!!!!!

Me too! Losing so much at the moment 😭😭

Me too, started at 10 weeks postpartum 😩 it’s soul destroying. My hair is everywhere!

Honestly when does it end my hair is everywhere. I can run my hands through my hair and it’s all on my hands

I've had lots of friends go through this. They all said it felt like they were genuinely going to go bald as so much hair fell out, but none of them have! It does settle down

I've just tapped in a 5 months pp, and it's slowing down now! I've had to cut a big chunk of hair off as the ends were so straggly! I have alot of hair, and (pre cut) was down to my waist. So you imagine how much was coming out!!!

@Angela im using juice plus vitamins and actually my hair stopped falling out so much

Yep, I have actual bald spots. I’ve found playing with hairstyles help but not going to lie the hair loss is really getting me down. I hate it. Miss my long thick hair.
