Postpartum hair loss 😭 help needed
My LO is 4 months and I’m shedding hair like a dog. I’m so worried and it’s giving me anxiety. I really wanted to get my hair done (new mum look) as the LO is always pulling at it and I have lots of whites! I just felt like going for a pamper sesh to have it dyed and styled. As I had a tough pregnancy. Any advice on what to do for this hair loss? Will it continue? Will it make me bold?

It’ll stop eventually don’t stress! And it’ll all grow back, I have a lot of baby hairs around my hair line that’s growing back! It’s all normal 😊 xx
Thank you !
It’s normal, but it will grow back, unlikely to make you bald. However, if it doesn’t stop in a couple months I would ask for iron blood tests, a lot of women are iron deficient post birth and this can cause hair loss.
@Amy thanks I will do that x

During pregnancy the hormones in your body mean that you shed less hair which is why lots of people notice that their hair looks thick and lush. The hormone drop after pregnancy then leads to hair loss. This should stop/slow/return to pre-pregnancy levels of hair loss once the hormones level out in your body.
