I didn’t cut my hair I just started to take collagen and it helps reduce the hair loss and my hair felt healthier than ever

Protein, a good post natal multivitamin, iron helped. But it was scary. Id wait a few months if u can manage before cutting.

imo, try not to chop off too much unless you’re super comfortable with having short hair for a while! It won’t really reduce the amount of hair loss you’ll have nor stop your little one from pulling on short hair either. I started losing a lot at around 4 months pp but at 7 months the hair loss slowed down significantly. I’d braid my hair or have it in a claw clip most days just to get it out of my face.

I had my hair cut right before my some turned one and my daughter is almost nine months I haven’t had really much shedding I use mint rosemary hair growth oil to grow my hair out

I’ve had an undercut so most I did was trim my hair & re-shave 🤷🏻♀️ Showers were definitely not fun but thankfully, it’s better now.

Okay I am in the same boat and I am so worried because we have a family wedding coming up in June. I have a feeling I will be bald by then. I already had very thin, flat hair to begin with so seeing so much come out is so scary.
I don't know what to do to stop it. I really need to cut the dead ends, and I wanted to dye it. Would anyone recommend dyeing their postpartum hair? Would it fall out more?

Id wait before cutting. It wont stop falling out until about 7 months pp.
