Postpartum hair loss

I didn't notice mine till about 4/6 weeks postnatal, not sure it's ever stopped but then you start growing weird bits of new hair that stick out everywhere 😂

Make it a habit soon after birth to take Zinc supplements (of course double check with your Gynaecologist first) & oil your hair (rosemary, olive, argan work best) 2-3 times a week, leave under a wrapped towel for 30 mins & wash in cold water 🫶🏻

It set in around 3 months pp for me - lasted maybe 2 months or so? I recall it getting a bit scary around 4 months pp but then it did settle eventually and then the regrowth makes things look a bit weird for at least a year / 18 months!

I had it around 4 months pp for a couple of months. I took biotin tablets at the time and will do post birth time time also got some mad regrowth! It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be

@N L were you breastfeeding whilst you were taking biotin x

I can’t remember if I was still pumping then or not and I could be wrong but I think from research it was safe during bf/pumping x

Usually peaks around 4 months pp and lasts a while

It’s different for everyone, it can start quite quickly or take months or even a year to start and go on for a short time or a long while x
