Postpartum hair loss disaster

Having real bad postpartum hair loss anxiety, as you can see I'm bleach blonde have been for 15 years really don't want to go brown but in such a predicament wether to highlight my hair, is this breakage or hair loss at the front? I'm worried highlighting will cause more breakage, normally my hairs fine with bleach always has been with minimal breakage but in this state I am just at such a lost cause. Clearly it needs dying but how 😭😭😭😭😭

You could try having a darker root (root smudge or root melt) and asking for a bleach cleanse (bleach mixed in shampoo) on the lengths of your hair to maintain the blonde while you're waiting for this phase to pass. Xx

That's a good idea, I'm useless knowing all these new trends. I've been bleach blonde from root to tip forever change is scary 😬😂👍♥️

I don’t have any suggestions with hair dye cause I haven’t died my hair in a HOT minute BUT when I noticed my post partum hair loss I stopped wearing my hair up (and I’m an avid hair-putter-upper) it was hard but I was also sad looking at my hair loss areas

Pp hair loss, is just you shedding the hair you didn't when pregnant. It wouldn't cause you to be more bald than before pregnant, so don't panic. however; you could go temporary brown. You can get some conditioners that you just use every time you wash, or wash in, wash out stuff, until you're more confident with your hair. That way you won't lose the blonde underneath

Personally I wouldn’t dye it or bleach it— just let it go and the hair loss will correct itself.

It grows back just keep taking prenatal + vitamins!!

@Allison oh gosh it is the same as mine bless you, I had all my bloods done that was one of the first things I done when it started getting bad. All came back fine. It has happened so quickly I looked at photos from Halloween and I have a full head of hair 😩😩😩

Mine was like this and I really panicked but now I have a full fringe (bangs) with all my regrowth 🤣🤣 it will grow back. Maybe try hairstyles that could cover it if it makes you feel better (looser styles to avoid tightness on the front)

@Libby how long did yours take to grow back, I took the plunge and dyed it back to bleach blonde you can't see it as much now thankgod the blonde seems to make it blend in more xx

Had my son October 2023 and noticed the hair loss in about April and by August it was really thickening up again
