Post partum hair

Have any of you moms done anything like hair color or treatment postpartum? I’m close to 6 months and I’ve been wanting to change my hair since I was pregnant but I’ve been waiting. My hair is still currently falling so much… what should I do????

Personally, I’d wait but that’s just because both of my PP hair loss experiences took about 2 months to stop. The hormonal adjustment just needs to run its course and then it’s business as usual (unless there are any underlying health issues that need to be addressed). 👏🏼 I did get a hair cut during it since my dry, dead ends were tangling and overstimulating lol.

Besides the hair loss, I’ve heard that you can get split ends and dry hair because of your body still adjusting to it all but it hasn’t been tangling too much even though it’s a little long

I honestly do like a 6in chop after every pregnancy. I usually start loosing hair around 3months pp and it stops around 6months. I do a big chop and a dye. It makes my shedding hair feel less gross.

So everyone is going to give you different opinions on this topic. Im a hair stylist with 10 yr of experience and my advice is always take your time if you feel ready do it. With my pregnancy and after I decided to go more the natural way. I will use rosemary water/oils or rice water if it's naturally made it works a lot better but you can always buy it from the stores. That is what I have used to help my hair from shedding as much as it was after my son was born. Hair products with minoxidil are good but i have heard from some clients mix results when using it. I would recommend doing anything with Rosemary, biotin, rice water, castor oil, depending on the texture of your hair sometimes what will work better.

Continue taking your prenatals or finding a hair vitamin, this will help with fall out, divi also helped with the loss and regrowth, I just re did mine in my third trimester cuz my red grew out sooo bad since I had just done it before I found out I was pregnant. And I’ll probably still do it cuz I don’t wanna waste all that money

Take your prenatal vitamins, collagen, rosemary oil or water for nourishment and yes I would dye it
