Postpartum Hair Loss 😭

How are you guys coping with postpartum hair loss?

I’m officially 3 months postpartum and I feel like my hair is going THROUGH IT 😭. When I first noticed the shedding around 2 months PP, I thought it was bad… but now I’m looking at my edges like WHERE DID THEY GO?! 😭

I know postpartum shedding is common and can be temporary, but that honestly doesn’t make it any less emotional when you’re watching your hair come out in your hands.

I’m trying not to panic and I’m reminding myself that this is a season, but I’d really love to hear from other moms:

What helped you with postpartum shedding?
Did you change your hair routine?
Did you cut your hair?
Did you wear braids/protective styles?
Did you take anything that actually helped?
And most importantly… when did you start seeing your hair grow back? 🥹

Please share your experiences because girl I needs some hope right now. 😭🤎

side note: the video I uploaded was about two to three weeks. I’ll drop a comment below about my hair loss.
