Hair Loss

[foxyarchie]

Hi,

My daughter is now 22 weeks and I've noticed that I'm loosing my hair rapidly around my temples. It's also coming out in clumps when I was or brush my hair. I've done a few internet searches and I know this is quite normal but it's still not making me feel any better. I'm still breastfeeding and wondering if it stops after you finish breastfeeding and also when does it grow back, if at all?! eek.

Hiya

Mine did this too for about 6 months and it did eventually stop, even though I'm still breastfeeding.

Now I've got a sort of halo of shorter hairs around my hairline, which is a bit annoying, but at least it's growing back I suppose!

me too. Every time I shower handfuls come away. It's awful.

Hello

My hairdresser warned me about this - it is horrifying, isn't it?

What it really is, is that while you are pregnant, your hair falls out LESS than usual. (Normally you would always be growing new ones and shedding old ones). Then, after baby is born, your hair has to sort of catch up to regain its normal balance of hair in / hair out, and so all the hair that didn't fall out while you were pregnant, now suddenly starts falling out 4m after baby is born.

It's horrible but your hair does return to normal eventually.

I've got the halo too. Very attractive... I know it's rather depressing but it will grow back.

as a hairdresser i do see this allot and don't worry too much as you have read and been advised it is very common...

I know this isn't making you feel at ease with the situation but what i can suggest is that you perhaps buy your self some protein treatment.. i would heavily recommend REDKEN extreme range, try the shampoo, the anti snap spray and also the intense treatment that comes with it... it will make your a hair a little stronger and should lessen the amount of hair you are loosing as it will be stronger....

this is the shampoo and conditioner

this is the anti snap leave in treatment

and this is the weekly treatment

this is allthe best stuff i know of the entire range is to strengthen the hair and to put protien and keratin back into the hair......

and ebay is pretty cheap, seems an expensive outlaybut great stuff....

hope this is of some use to you..

if youd like anymore advise dont hesitat to contact me
