Thinning hair

So sorry to hear this.

Have you had your thyroid, iron and ferretin levels checked? It's really important to see if there's an underlying cause.

Head massage and
Champo hair oil has worked for me in the past, but it doesn't work for everyone. Rosemary oil works for some people.

Mine is still falling out in handfuls. But I have PCOS so Im not surprised. It is distressing though

Have you had your thyroid checked? Any other symptoms? Ive been the same and found out this week ive got an overactive thyroid and need medication. Ive lost 3 stone, feel hot and sweaty all the time, get heart palpitations and dizziness etc. Check to see if theres anything else going on. Hair loss can also be caused by hypoactive thyroid too x

I have suffered hair loss a few times now and theres 4 things, which when done together help me.
1) Take biotin supplement daily.
2) Drink at least 2 litres of fluid per day.
3) Have 60-80g of protein per day (food or shakes/drinks).
4) Take a multivitamin daily.

I would also suggest using a hair mask once per week if you can but once per month is fine, keep you hair loose and low, get your iron levels checked with GP. I do hope it gets better for you hun. ❤️ x

Mine pretty much fell out pp and has stayed thin and horrible- like you super thick hair before. I’ve been using champoo vita for a year the whole system- it’s not a miracle worker but I have lots of regrowth it’s just come back thin- I think I’m going to start minoxidil. I can’t right now as Ive just found out I’m pregnant but hopefully in years time if it has come back I will x

Sending you so much love, I know exactly how distressing this is 💛 Hair loss is rarely just one thing — it could be stress, sleep, how much support you have, even the water you wash it in (hard vs soft water genuinely makes a difference), or what you’re eating/nutrient levels. Worth looking at the whole picture rather than one quick fix.

For me it happened both times I gave birth, and my hair loss was horrendous — it came down to stress more than anything. I realised I wasn’t actually in a safe, supported environment (things with my husband and in-laws were really hard) and I had zero sleep with a newborn on top of that. What helped was starting to set boundaries — even the “small” things that feel crossed still send your body into stress mode. I also gave myself permission to just focus on bonding with my baby and let the cooking/cleaning wait. Once I did that, my hair genuinely started coming back — I actually did a full buzz cut for first birth of my son.
