Hair loss

I am 4 months pp and my hair is getting so thin! For reference I had super thick hair before (so thick I used to get the hair dresser to thin it out for me) I have notice the past few weeks a ton of hair coming out when I wash it, does anyone have any tips on how to stop of falling out anymore?! Not sure if it’s anything to do with it but I recently stopped breastfeeding and it started around this time X

Following incase anyone leaves any tips because I’m exactly the same🥲 I formula feed & always have, but my hair is coming out in chunks when I wash it x

Mine is falling a lot too. From what I’ve read there isn’t much we can do about it. It’s all the hair that doesn’t fall when we are pregnant that then falls out once we’ve given birth. Breast feeding delays the fall too so once you stop BFing that’s when it tends to fall. All I’ve started doing is putting in a growth serum to try and regrow what I am losing! Hoping that’ll work in the long run!

It’s really normal for this to happen around 3-5 months postpartum. It’s like Jen said, it’s all the hair that you didn’t shed during pregnancy suddenly shedding at the same time. It looks really bad for a few months but it’ll settle down again. Then you get fun regrowth and tufts of baby hair sticking out 😂🙈 some people recommend using rosemary oil, I never bothered and just rode it out last time and it went back to normal again.

It’s completely normal due to hormones. I lost so much I would need to empty the hair brush twice a day and the shower plug every wash. I’m 5 months pp now and my hair dresser said there’s loads of new hair coming through 😅 hang in there 😂

Totally normal, I’m losing handfuls every hair wash and it’s all over the house. Apparently there’s not much you can do to prevent it falling out, but you can take Biotin to promote new hair growth

@Jayde omg I’m the same. It is so scary 😥

Mines doing the same! I've started taking hair-iron tablets and I got some Nioxin (hair loss shampoo/conditioner/treatment) and I've noticed less in my hairbrush already. Xx

I'm 4 months pp and my hair is falling like crazy ! And I've got extremely scanty and thin hair, on top of which the hairdresser ruined my hair and gave me an awful haircut just before my due date. So I'm going through this horrible phase regarding my hair. But apparently hairfall is normal and we can't do anything about it, except for look after ourselves and stress less xx

Mine is this like it is awful. I have been using anti dandruff shampoo in hope it will make the scalp stronger. I've got a GP appointment as starting to notice a balder patch
