PP Hair Loss

I didn’t have super thick hair prior to pregnancy and know that my 4 mths PP the hair loss is awful. I feel like I am constantly pulling hair out everytime I run my fingers through my hair, brush my hair, shower, etc. Does anyone have any tips on how to combat this? I’m taking prenatals still but all this hair loss is not helping my mental.

    I also went through this too and it’s so hard mentally. Postpartum shedding usually peaks around this time, even if your hair was never thick to begin with. Be as gentle as possible with brushing, avoid tight styles, and focus on scalp health. I kept taking my prenatal and also added BabyBlues postpartum hair loss vitamins into my diet, which really helped slow the shedding and support regrowth for me. You’re not doing anything wrong, this phase does pass.
