Postpartum hair loss

I'm using this for about 5 weeks now. Still losing some hair but not as much and a lots of baby hair growing back! https://www.farmasi.co.uk/dianakopernicka/product-detail/reviving-hair-care-bundle?pid=PK90352

Nioxin mousse literally saved my hair postpartum. I experienced really bad bald patches but the mousse helped my hair grow back within a few months and stopped any hair loss. I don’t know what I’d have done without it! xx

Oh I am so sorry you are going through this! Mine was horrible and lasted about 6 months. I literally thought I was going to be bold at some point, I used to lose between 300-500 strands every day for the first 3-4 months. But then it stopped and I didn’t get bold ☺️ the bad news is that it’s hormonal and there is no much you can do to stop it. But if you feel you are losing waaaay too much it would be worth it to check your thyroid and iron levels. Also try to eat healthy and don’t forget to keep taking your postnatal vitamins, they will not stop the hair loss but it will prevent it to get worse due to lack of vitamins. It will get better ❤️‍🩹 you just have to be patient.

Honestly I have very little advice, I noticed that taking a comprehensive multivitamin helped (I was really terrible at taking it postpartum). I tried rogaine (meh), protective hairstyles, avoiding brushing etc, but it’s a hormonal issue and there isn’t much you can really do by the point it starts falling out except protect what you have left!

Try to up your iron intake! x

This terrifies me as I lost so much hair last year and it’s only just growing back and now I’m pregnant 😣 I’d say avoid bleach, heat, tight hair styles etc to help prevent breakage, get your bloods done too as my ferritin and vitamin D was low so helped me identify any deficiencies. I also tried minoxidil but that did nothing for me. Also head massage helps stimulate growth (and great for relaxation!)

If your not breast feeding i would say rosemary oil 1 a week before washing hair leave in for a hour or two

Pretty much what others said, get your bloods checked first. Otherwise biotin supplements! Mine fell out after 4 months PP. I'm nearly 7 months PP and it's starting to grow back
