hair loss from bfing - can anyone recommend a good ED hairdresser?

[ryedalema]

Morning all - I hope you have some good recommendations on this one.

My hair's in the worst state I've ever seen it at the mo - bfing/post pregnancy has left it falling out in handfuls and seriously dry and tangly. I need a compassionate and highly skilled hairdresser to come to the rescue.

I have a few days to myself before going back to work (3 and counting) and could do with someone sorting out this sorry mess.

Also - I'm child free for the next few days so can actually venture to a hairdresser and bask in the relative splendour of 'not our home'.

Can anyone recommend a fabulous hairdresser in ED or surrounds? I normally go to one near work in the City but am trying to avoid going there unless I have to.

Would really appreciate your help.

Thank you oh wonderful forum-ones !!

How much do you want to spend? There are quite a few threads already on this topic. I like Jeanette at Roche and she is extremely reasonable. I have tried GMs, Headnizm, and the one by Iceland. I am sticking with her as am very happy. She also does colour if you need it.

Jayne is great. She has tons of recommendations here and is based in Brixton but can also come to your home. Her website is Hairy Jayne

L'Oreal and Kerastase have a product called Aminexil which is for hair thinning caused by hormonal changes amongs other things. Is from salons only & is a set of take-home treatments. It's not cheap but I found it good. I imagine the Kerastase one will cost more but Kerastase is owned by L'Oreal so it will ostensibly be the same thing.

Might be a good follow on after you have seen a hairdresser?

Hi I have been in the same boat so you are not alone. just stopped Breast feeding baby is 6.5 months now. Ive been to see a hairdresser recently had quite alot cut off. she recommended taking a hair and nail vitamin which i never thought of? ive also noticed my hair has been so greasy so i try not to wash it everyday now....

Thanks everyone. I've had the whole lot lopped off by Willis B - and am going back today to 'go red!'.

(Think I'm having my mid life crisis)

At least I won't have to fish manky hair out of the plug hole now after each shower (not my favourite job). And thanks for the tip about the Kerastase. In my younger - not spending a fortune on childcare - days I used to use those products. I'll have to find them - does anyone know if the hairdresser on North Cross Road sells it? They do Kerastase don't they?

Also - how long does this hair loss last? I gave up bfing 10 days or so ago and it's still going on.

Thanks again xxx
