I’ve been really struggling with this recently after every shower my hair is just falling out in clumps😭 my 3 months PP and it’s awful, I had my hair cut last Friday due to it being down below my waist so I got it cut and I thought it would’ve helped but it hasn’t so next thing for me is vitamins if they don’t work then the doctors it is! x
I have as well, am taking hair supplements daily to strengthen my hair
Use 2% ketoconazole shampoo and scalp massage
Honestly I don’t think anything works but at around 8 months it slowed down and now 12 months I’ve got so many baby hairs sprouting I’ve got a little fringe going on 🤣 trust the process and good luck ❤️❤️
I had extreme fall out as if I was going bald at week 8 onwards. Get a blood test done and ask them to check everything especially vitamin D, iron, folate & thyroid as they all contribute to further hair loss when are hormones are still not fully in synch. Vitamin B tablets are useful for hair loss too. Also the key is to massage your scalp daily in particular the areas where you're balding/ huge amounts of hair fall. You don't need oil just a good massage to promote new hair growth. Theres a hair serum called Champo I know a few who have used it in their post partum journey and swear by it. It is on the pricey side though
My hair loss began to calm down 6 months PP In the meantime don't brush your hair when it's wet. Towel dry if you can. Limit the use of scrunchies/bobbles and like someone else said consider getting your hair cut a bit shorter 😀
Thank you all so much for sharing your stories and for the recommendations xx
This is exactly what’s happening to me I’ve always had long thick hair and I’m considering having it all cut to a short Bob so it looks thick again but scared it will still fall out and look worse 😩 it’s so despressing x
I got mine cut just before baby was born to just above my shoulders as I knew I’d probably be wearing it up anyways for the first couple of months so wanted to start fresh and have healthy hair 🤣 I did feel bald at first when it was coming out at its worst, but now the bald patches are coming back I don’t feel as bad and I think having the hair cut has helped a lot! Cause it doesn’t feel as if I should have as much of that hair anyway cause it’s shorter so I think you don’t feel as bad x
Here’s me 22 months postpartum 🙈 Send help
I’m 4 months pp and I’m the same! My hairdresser suggested a small chop and vitamins x
