Post Partum Hair loss

Just wondered if anyone else has started experiencing any hair loss since giving birth and if so has anyone found any supplements or anything to take to help with this? I have quite thin/fine hair as it is so losing so much is really starting to worry me 😔

I'm 3 months postpartum and my hair loss has started today😫 I've got thick long hair so it's really disheartening to experience. I've continued taking Pregnacare original/breastfeeding as instructed by my Health Visitor as she said they're all the same and it's just a marketing strategy. Though in terms of reality, there's only so much we can do to help, it'll happen anyway. Just ensure you're having a good diet and taking care of yourself mentally and physically💜

My hairdresser had recommended this https://uk.colorwowhair.com/products/youth-juice-collagen-scalp-serum

Remember it’s just old hair that was kept during pregnancy that’s finally falling off. If you remember almost no hair fell out during pregnancy when washing it or brushing it out, so now it seems like it’s a lot. Surely it won’t look as thick as it was during pregnancy and that “pregnancy glow” but it will look just as it was before pregnancy. It’s just shocking right now because we totally forgot how we looked :) ensure your ferritin levels are all good but otherwise it’s just a normal shedding symptom same like dropping weight postpartum

My hair loss (and nails breaking) just started this week too. My experienced mum friends have reminded me that my hair will be no thinner than it was before pregnancy to Polina’s point. One of them recommended Biotin and Vitamin D to keep it healthy and maintained generally - seemed to work for her. Good luck, I’m sure you still look great :)
