To get my hair done or wait until I stop breastfeeding

My hair was falling out 6 months postpartum and then I got pregnant with my second. My hair grew back quickly. I have 2 under 2 now. I’m 4 months postpartum and my hair started to fall again but I really want to get a cut and color. I’m not sure if it’s worth the investment being that it’s falling out. Has anyone gotten their hair done postpartum?

I’m 4 months pp and started shedding around 3 months. I got a haircut last week and she did a detox treatment and cut, and I have noticed substantially less shedding. I am also wrapping my hair up at night and back to taking my vitamins regularly. (I had fallen off bc I had to order more 😅) but the combo of cut and vitamins seems to have improved hair loss, so I’d say worth a shot! Not sure if color will affect it tho, especially if you’ll be bleaching. Might be helpful to speak with your stylist to see what their thoughts are too.

Ooh what vitamins are you taking??

Rainbow light prenatals, magnesium, iron, probiotics.

I got my hair done, cut and colour. Its falling out if I do or don't and I rather feel good about my hair.

@Jen what vitamins did you choose? I stopped taking mine and currently just started again taking the pregnacare breastfeeding support ones which I really like, but I ran out too and then funds wouldn't stretch so missed them for four months 😅 but back on them now, I'm still breastfeeding at two years two months ✨🎉

I’m getting some shedding too! 4m postpartum. It was so thick and growing so fast too

Go for it! I was shedding insanely almost immediately after giving birth so I decided to chop it off 2 weeks PP and I've been In love. Although I still have some shedding, it's significantly less and growing its growing pretty fast. I also juice often, that may be contributing as well.
