PP hair loss sucks b@lls!

I thought I would not lose my hair PP; don't ask me why, I guess I was just being delusional.  Well its started falling out in clumps as of this week.  :(  And it prob doesn't help that I don't wash my hair but every 2-3/days (I have naturally curly hair so its drier).

  • I hear ya! Mine has already started. I had it bad with DD and I was hoping and praying that I wouldn't go through it again.....wrong.

  • ugg, i can sympathize.  I only wash my hair every other day and my husband refuses to use the same shower b/c my hair is EVERYWHERE!  it even grosses me out!
  • Does this happen b/c  not as much hair falls out during pregnancy? 
  • I lost a lot in the front. Got so thin! Sucks.
  • Mine is gradually getting worse. I wash it every other day. In the shower the other day it seemed like it was twice as much as it had been the week before.
  • Amen.  I am clogging the drain on a daily  basis.  :/

  • I think mine is slowing down, although I recently cut it short (to about my chin)...so I don't know if it actually slowed down or if it is b/c of cutting it.

    I think washing it every day makes it fall out more. So, you should be good only washing it every 2 to 3 days. 

    My hairdresser even noticed that I have 2 spots in the front (one on each side...above my temples) where the hair is really short b/c that is where all the hair fell out. I can't even pull my hair back at all b/c you can see it (hence part of the reason why I cut it!).

    Yes, exactly.  

  • If it gets to the point that you start getting freaked out you should probably check with the doc, I had to and they found out my thyroid levels were way off.?

    Thyroid problems from pregnancy are very common and one of the symptoms is hair loss.
