Postnatal hair loss!!!

Hi all! I’m nearly 4 months postpartum and my hair is falling out so so much! I can literally pull strands of it out and when I brush my hair, it falls onto the floor. I can physically feel it getting thinner. Any suggestions on what to do?!

Following as I’m in the same boat! The hairfall all of a sudden is insane and I have thin hair since the beginning :(

no idea i’m 15 weeks pp and im surprised i have any left atp the amount that is coming out is crazy i’ve always had long thick hair too

Mine is the same, happened last time as well so I had a feeling it would again. It’s crazy when it all comes back in and you have a load of fluff 😂

We held onto the hair during pregnancy as it didn’t make sense for the body to waste the energy and resources to grow new hair follicles so we never really lost it during pregnancy hence it looked amazing. now that we’re no longer pregnant and body repaired a bit after the placenta wound has healed up etc, the body is addressing the hair issue so it’s losing every hair that was supposed to have fallen out over the past year and new hair strands are coming in as well. Ensure the ferritin levels are in the normal range but besides that, it’s totally normal unfortunately

Try taking biotin and a serum to help along regrowth x
