When does the pp hair loss end?

franceshouseman · March 2011

This is driving me insane! Maybe it's because my hair is so long, but I'm losing my mind! I can run my hands through my hair and have 30-40 hairs each time. I've resorted to wearing a ponytail everyday for the last 2-3 weeks it's so bad. I can't take much more of this!

I'd love to know too! I'm in the same boat as you.

Ditto - my co-worker is annoyed - she claims she has my red hair all over her office from when I am in her office during the day.

I was totally wondering the same thing when I had to clean out the drain in the tub this morning. Ugh!! It makes me sick to my stomach when I see that much hair for some reason.

Hopefully soon. I have no idea how there is still even any hair left on my head. I should be bald.

Kate&Dru · March 2011

Same here! I probably could have made several wigs with the amount of hair I have lost. I am surprise I am not bald! LOL

It's awful! But I just got a hair cut two days ago and it seems to have really helped.

Ugh. I hate it. Every time I touch my hair, clumps fall out. So gross!

I'm right there with you! I spend the first five minutes that I am out of the shower picking hair off my body and then another five picking it off after I blow dry it! Its ridiculous!

I'm still loosing it as well. I cut my hair shorter so that when it starts growing back, I won't look like a porcupine.

A few suggestions from the research I've done into it though:

Try not to pull your hair back tightly or put any unnecessary pressure on the strands.

Try not to wash your hair every day. Washing it puts stress on the strands and can make them fall out faster.

Try to avoid styling products that have alcohol or drying agents in them.

I threatend to shave my head last night because I am sick of hair everywhere including stuck to my poor LO. I get so annoyed when I am lotioning him or changing his diaper and I have to pull strand after strand off him.

I threatened the same thing last night.

This is also happening to me. I actually chose to dye my hair and cut my hair and it has helped a little bit.

I started to lose my hair heavily around 3 months and I just noticed it started to let up. It seems that I'm losing the normal amount that I was pre-pregnancy. So mine lasted from 3-5 months.

I have what looks like a reseeding hairline! I had to go with full on bangs to hide the hair loss! I have peach fuzz all along the front of my head...
