Shedding like crazy still??

kmchavez82

DD is 8 months and I'm still shedding like crazy (I'm taking a daily multivitamin) so I'm not sure if this is normal still or should I be concerned. Thoughts? TIA!!

Me too!  I have been telling myself that my postpartum shedding season has combined with change of seasons shedding.  Do you also have new hair growing back that sticks straight up? Noone warned me about this!!!

OMG ME TOO! It's so weird!! I love being a mom more than anything but wow, so much has changed!

Mine has finally slowed down in the last couple of weeks.  I thought I'd go bald before it stopped.

I have fine straight hair and my regrowth is very curly.  I'm hoping that it will straighten out as it gets longer, or it will all end of curly.  Having straight hair with curly frizz on top is not the look I was going for.

I quit shedding in July but my son loves to grab my hair so I'm still losing it!

I am a week short of 9 months PP and FINALLY just stopped shedding like a mad man - I also just chopped off all of my hair so idk that might have helped me stop.

I've always had an issue with shedding, even before giving birth.  I've had my mom, my roommates, my husband, and coworkers comment about the amount I shed.  I think the only time I stopped was in my third trimester. 

More recently, I've noticed about an inch of growth from around my hairline, which was where I lost most of mine after giving birth.  I think it started back after I finished pumping.

If you have other symptoms or things happening that don't make sense, I'd go see the doctor.  Otherwise, I'd think it just had to do with hormone changes.

Mine is still shedding but like a PP is less since I got it cut much shorter. If your hair is long I think more comes out bc of the weight. Mine is growing back in gray and different texture. It looks awful.
