I need to know all the secrets Mama especially those mamas who are over the age of 35. During postpartum did you have a problem with shedding like your hair constantly falling out or thinning? No matter what I do or take or anything my hair will not go back to being full again. I haven't had full hair since my second oldest daughter was born. I'm on birth control. I take prenatals I use anti thinning hair care system. I'm doing it all. I'm getting stressed out because this is crap. What are your go-to secrets now? I'm going to say this as a n FYI I have psoriasis on my scalp due to allergies so I need sensitive friendly

There’s nothing you can do but ride it out, it’s hormonal.
Lasts about 3 months and happened to me after both babies when I hit 3m pp. it’s just hormones, you don’t shed in pregnancy so as your hormones settle back to pre pregnancy levels all that shedding happens and it’s brutal.
Keep taking your multivitamins, tie your hair up loose, don’t over wash or over brush, take biotin to encourage regrowth and don’t fall for all the snake oil BS they promise stops it.
I have scalp psoriasis though and I swear by neutrogena t/gel. It’s coal tar which is recommended for psoriasis so doesn’t smell that nice but within minutes I don’t itch anymore and my hair is so much healthier that week.

It's just normal unfortunately. If it's more than what you've had with other children it might be worth checking in with drs

I've checked in with the doctors. They say it could be from PCOS. It could be from hormones. They actually don't know why women end up with thinning hair and end up losing so much hair.

I got told I need to go see a specialist who will test my hair follicles and no it's not covered by insurance. It would be out of pocket and it can range from 900 to almost $7,500 per treatment

Oh no, I'm 3 months pp, and so far, I haven't noticed hair loss, though I do remember it from my first child pp. Not looking forward to it! I have noticed though, during the last few weeks, when it gets hot, my scalp is super itchy!!! And no matter how hard I scratch, it stays itchy. A shower normally fixes it, but I am super conscious about it because my toddler daycare emailed about headlice a while back, and I thought I had caught them! But no head lice thank goodness. Which leads me to- what is psoriasis in the scalp?! I have to research now!

Ok, just googled scalp psoriasis, and I definately do not have that. I also don't seem to have dandruff. I just have an itchy scalp at times, noticeable when im hot. Is this normal?

Heal from within. Make sure you’re still getting the vitamins you need from good first then supplements like omega 3s , great for gut lining that helps you keep the good gut batería. That heals skin issues.
Also, wash your hair more often no more than 3 days to keep your scalp clean and pores open to allow the grow phase to come through. If you don’t wash frequently or use a clarifying shampoo your hair can stay at rest/fall phase.
