Post partum hair loss

Missing my pregnancy hair!! Only washed it once a week when I was pregnant as it was hardly greasy. 4 months post partum and losing it by the handful! Wash it and next morning it’s thick with grease. Not changed shampoo. Still taking PP vitamins, use rosemary oil and started a collagen supplement! Anybody any tips? Starting to affect my confidence…already feeling pretty fragile mental health wise

I feel the same defo need some tips!

I’m the same, 4 months postpartum and loosing it in strands by the hour! 😩

Same here I wake up and it’s all over my bed. I added cloves and rosemary to my shampoo. I seen a lot about this on tik tok. I’ve only washed it twice since then but I noticed it shredded less in the shower.

I think unfortunately it’s pretty common for a while post pardem! I’ve had this happen after every pregnancy and I feel like I’m going bald. I have very thick hair. I only wash it every 2-3 days and I’m 7 months pregnant. I love the way my hair seems so healthy during pregnancy but after yes, it’s a mess for a while after so don’t really have a solution I have found yet but I just kinda have accepted that my body will be all out of whack for like 18 months min and that acceptance has helped me tremendously with my mental health!

I think my biggest body image issue for myself is my mama pooch. I even have been told that it’s basically just extra skin so unless I do something like cool sculpting then it’s just gonna remain there. My 3rd pregnancy ruined my figure lol as I used to be 100 lbs dripping wet. Currently 180 almost so I want to get down to 130ish and will give myself a year to 18 months. I also had to be on antidepressants for years and that caused me to gain like 40-50 lbs which was really hard but not on anything currently and hope I can stay off them but I will get help if I need it again.
