Postpartum Hair Loss

Oh my gosh me!!! I would have hand fulls on a daily basis. I noticed it gets better as time goes on…. I’d love to also know if there are tips regarding this.

Girl I feel that I'm 1 yr postpartum and currently experiencing this! Idk what kind of shampoo or conditioner I should be using to help with this or if I need to do something different with my hair but it's so bad! I lose handfuls in the shower and even when my hair is dry and I brush it 🥴

Agreed. I am 7 months postpartum and every time I wash hair I now dread it because of all the hair loss, and when I comb or brush it too, same. Recently told hubby at this rate I will be bald by Halloween. He decided to poke fun and said you better save that then. I put it in a bathroom cup and asked if he was serious with tears streaming and he burst out laughing and said No, I was kidding. I read if you put your hair up put it up loosely or let it down. But I don’t know about y’all, but my little one is a grabber and likes to grab at any loose hair, or anything else.

My cousins a hairdresser and I spoke with her about it. Unfortunately , theres nothing we can do to stop it as its a natural hormonal drop. It does ease off eventually - everyone's different. She said to then switch shampoos to sulphate free & get regular cuts. Take multivitamins. All these vitamins/oils claiming to help hair grow are 9 times out of 10 a money making scheme. Put your hair in a loose braid if possible as anything above that is pulling and causing unnecessary stress on hair follicles.

I've got 2 under 2 though so I actually am going to look like uncle fester in a few more months 😅
