post partum hair

My hair has been looking greasy even after washing. I'm not using tons of shampoo or conditioner. I use Vidal Sasoon which I've used before and never had problems guessing it's just hormones from post pregnancy. Hair loss hasn't been bad I'm only two months pp though I lose strands in shower like before I'm wanting to get my hair cut shoulder length but worried about pp hair loss picking up any moms get their hair cut and were just fine. Also hair growth pattern doesn't start back to normal till like 6-12 months.

    I'm 2 month PP and losing hair like crazy. I know I notice some of it is because I have my hair pulled back ALL of the time, so when I wash my hair, it all comes out at once. But over the last week, I have noticed that about double the amount is being shed. I know it's normal, but it freaks me out.

    I know my PP hair loss hit me hardest at 4 months PP last time. 6 weeks out now and haven't had any significant loss yet so looking like the same timeframe this time

    I have short hair so I just had it cut. I have no experience with PP hair loss. I know it varies from person to person.

    My hair is long - till my waist! So aside from the hair loss of LO pulling it while he's feeding :/ it's still keeping it's thickness it gained from pregnancy!

    My hair has been super greasy too! I hadn't made any connection to pregnancy, but maybe? My hair didn't get greasy until the last week or two (I'm 8 weeks pp). My hair loss doesn't feel bad yet, but I'm sure it's coming...

    Lurker from Feb! Yes!! My hair is so greasy and it worries me because I use a clarifying shampoo as it is. Hoping this subsides soon. I'm 6 weeks pp.

    I am 2mo pp as well, and I just got my hair cut and colored. I've only noticed my normal shedding to date. I'm really hoping the pp hairloss bypasses me!
