Post partum hair loss

My lg is 3 months and the hair loss is ridiculous, it's not coming out at the front but in clumps at the back and its all over the house I can only wear it in a bun as even a pony tail doesn't stop it shedding. I have waist length hair and thick and like my hair, but do we think I should cut it if its all falling out anyway or does it get better soon? Im worried if I cut it I'll feel like I've lost a bit of my identity in a time I already don't recognise myself. But if my hair is scraped back anyway what difference does it make...thoughts??

It should calm down. I'm almost 4 months pp and still shedding like a dog 🤣

I’m 4 months and I can a massive gap on my “forehead “ and when I touch my hair it’s feel like a magnet on my hands … will improve I have been told . Don’t cut ur hair soon we will feel ourselves again 😘

Don't cut your hair. I have long, thick hair as well, my partner is a hairdresser and he won't touch my hair length as he said, it's part of who I am.

Also he recommends using Keratase anti snap spray x

I had terrible hair loss with my second to the point I had bald bits at either side of my forehead 😭 It had only just started to grow back when I fell pregnant with my 3rd (2nd was around 15 months at that point). Unfortunately I can't remember when it actually stopped falling out but mines went on a fair amount longer than most people I knew, but it also started later. It hasn't started yet for me this time but I'm absolutely dreading it 😭

My LO is three months and my hair is failing out so much. Only washing my hair once a week atm, darent anymore because of how much is coming out and just keep to wear it up xx
