Postpartum hair shedding
Show your support
I've been shedding since I had my first baby December 2021. About a month ago I decided on a whim to buy some collagen and keratin shampoo and conditioner (store brand), and take some postnatal gummy vitamins (Pink Stork). I feel like there's a difference. Less scalp showing when I pull my hair back, it feels and looks shinier and smoother, and stuff. I know my mom started losing hair when she started having babies but nothing seemed to help her until she started taking the monoxidil pill. Her hair has started getting thicker and healthier too
My baby and I are both losing our hair right now at the same time, I think it’s kind of funny lol. But, my neighbor strongly recommends Rogaine, she works in the wig industry and had alopecia and knows a lot about hair. I’m personally not doing anything about mine because my dermatologist told me that it will grow back in six months and this is just your body’s way of reacting to a big stress from the pregnancy/birth/etc.
Currently suffering from it as well. While you can't really prevent it from happening but you can help to promote hair growth. It'll be weird with baby hairs in some spots lol. I use a detangler when brushing my hair. I try not to brush my hair everyday but also not let it get matted, tangled or frizzy. And I wash my hair every other day. I'm looking into how to help the hair regrow healthier after shedding. I'm thinking I hope most of those hairs shed had split ends and the new hair will be better lol
I feel like as soon as I went into the pediatrician for our 4 month checkup and he told me I’d be losing some of my hair soon, two days later it happened…😓
I remember back when I got off birth control and lost hair because of that, I took “hair, skin and nails” vitamins and that helped. I think I’m going to go that route and try to see if it’ll work this time around
I’ve been having no hair loss at all since having my baby (so for about 16 weeks I’ve been great with no hair loss) then, I start Back at work and I’m shredding like a crazy person :( stress and PP is taking its toll
Yes my hair is everywhere! I'm taking a postnatal and using vegamour gro hair serum but idk if it's helping.
Currently in the thick of it… I feel you girl! I asked my dermatologist about Nutrafol because I noticed they were advertising it, but she said that a product like that will NOT help PP hair loss.. just an fyi
