Let's talk hair.

I cannot be the only one with out of control PP hair. It's still shedding and the new growth is ridiculous! The texture is different, the waves to it are different, and worst of all at least 50% is growing back grey. I'm also walking around looking like I did when I was 4 and took safety scissors to my bangs with all this weird new growth. My hair is in such a funky 7 month long stage I want to go all Britney Spears circa 2007. #halfkidding

Re: Let's talk hair.

  • My hair I think is growing back the same texture but it looks so stupid! I got it highlighted and now the baby hairs just stick out more.. It's annoying - i did start taking biotin and it has helped A LOT with growing faster.. I think my hair line fell out around my entire head.

    Hope yours stops shedding soon!

    Yup, I am shedding like crazy. My hair has been in a perpetual ponytail almost everyday since I was pregnant with #1--I feel like my hair is waiver now but I can't tell for sure.


  • My hair just sucks all around now. Shedding, thin, and lifeless. :(

    I feel the same way. Some days I swear I will go to the store and buy clippers and shave it all!

  • My hair is a hot mess. I'm still shedding like mad but have not noticed any new growth. It's always been fine and straight but now it's just lifeless and dull. I'm thinking about getting about 5-6 inches cut off.

  • If I could pull it off I'd do a pixie cut, but really only like five people in the world can pull that off. My hair is a disaster.

  • I'm still shedding and my hair is pretty long, so we're all covered in my hair all the time. I shed worse than my cats. My hair is wavy/curly so the new growth is standing up all over making it look super frizzy.

  • My hair is a train wreck. I am shedding like a damn dog. I even got 10 inches cut off in hopes of it being healthier and not as much falling out. Nope octopus.

  • The hairs that manage to cling on to my scalp are getting pulled out in clumps by my grabby baby. It's bad all around.

  • You just described my hair. I asked my stylist today if my banks were breaking bc it is so weird. She said new growth. I asked if this appointment was a longer time since the last bc of the grays look extra grown out and she said no.

  • Shedding a little still but holy hell baby hairs. I look like a baby chick or something
  • I stopped shedding but the baby hairs are so bad. My hair is also coming back grey- I want to rip out those little grey baby hairs sticking up. I am considering something drastic like going blonde but I'm too lazy to keep up with it I think. My hair is also more coarse and dry.

    You just described exactly what I am going through. I also considered going blonde but I simply couldn't afford seeing a hairdresser every 4 weeks.

  • Are you ladies doing anything to help control your crazy PP hair (besides chop it off)?

  • I think the shedding has stopped but the new growth is bad for me like everyone else. Unable to be tamed and white and wiry and wavy. Can't get my flat iron close enough to make them a decent shape, can't pull them into a bobby pin, nothing. The closest I can get to controlling them is using some hair wax on the worst offenders up front. I also started parting on the opposite side I usually do because I lost a lot of hair along my part and now have a lot of new growth there, so that helps have less sticky up hairs. I want to color but think the baby hairs are too short to get foiled so I am holding off.

    Mine stopped shedding, and no greys yet, but the incessant sun, humidity, wind, and my hair-pulling baby mean its been out of a bun or ponytail once in the last 6 months. And that was when the hairstylist did it after cutting it. Beautiful cut, but no one will ever know since I just tie it up. But down, it's pure wild.

  • I am still a shedding mess and not seeing too much growth. I am trying to brush it more often to stimulate regrowth. Considering taking prenatals if that would make a difference.

    Losing still, baby hair regrowth, and major texture/color changes here. The back-to-back pregnancies did a number on my hair. Lots of gray and it went from super straight to wavy almost curly. It's also darker. I'm hoping the summer sun brings some highlights. It's taking me a while to get used to the new volume LOL

  • The baby hairs are crazy! I lost so much hair. I do a coconut oil treatment like once every month and it makes my hair way softer and more manageable. Give it a shot!

  • Mine just started shedding. I was so confused bc I thought it happened directly post partum. I had a patients family member dusting it of my scrubs :/. It's always in a pony tail now since it's so long. I finally got it done last week. I hadn't got it cut since January! I went darker in Jan so that the roots wouldn't be as noticible.

    I'm not shedding much anymore, but my hair is definitely different. I miss my long, soft pretty hair. It doesn't look like it'll ever be the same :-(

  • @calibr8te‌, I've been continuously taking prenatals since I found out I was pregnant last year. Still shedding like crazy.
