Hair Loss After Pregnancy

i didn't even really start losing mine until finn was 4 months old. it worried me too because it seemed like i was losing way too much, but it's normal. for awhile my hair was all over the house, it was really gross.

I've actually never heard of losing hair.In fact everyone that I know that have kids have always told me about 'baby hair',which is just new hair starting to grow.I got the 'baby hair' myself when my son was first born but now that he is over a year I am noticing big chunks of hair coming out in the shower and I'm constantly cleaning out my brush.I know my hair loss isn't from pregnancy though.
Sorry I can't really help you because I had the opposite problem.

It is very gross lol Guess ill just suck it up for now! Thanks!

Yep! Happens to me all the time although that could have something to do with years of colouring....... Anyway, it didn't happen straight away but when Mika was 2 months old maybe

Hi, changes in hair growth in pregnancy is actually normal or physiologic. During pregnancy, the growing hair phase (anagen phase) is increased compared to the resting hair phase (telogen phase). This anagen state is due to the estrogen and androgen levels. However, after the pregnancy, thses effects are lost and shedding becomes prominent. Your condition is what we call Telogen effluvium which decribes the abrupt hair loss seen 1 to 4 months after giving birth. the good news is that the process is self-limited. Normal hair growth is usually restored in 6 to 12 months. If hair loss persists, then there may be some hormonal problems going on.

The products you use on your hair may also cause hair loss. I also experience severe hair loss. Normally we lose 30 to 100 strands a day. That's normal shedding. In my case, my hair got so thin that my scalp gets sunburned easily. After a while, I changed all my hair products and now I'm using products from Forever Living. These are all natural products, without the harmful chemicals found in most shampoos and conditioners. What's so great about forever living hair products is that the main ingredient is aloe vera. Aloe vera nourishes our hair, scalp & skin. It has over 200 vitamins, minerals and amino acids that we need for cell regeneration. Now my hair loss is within the normal limits. I don't have itchy scalp like i used to. you can send me a message if you want to know where to get these products. They're available in about 127 countries worldwide.
