Hair loss

I know it is practically inevitable but I am not ready for the hair loss. I lost a good amount after having my daughter but now it is the fullest and nicest it has been in years. I am 6 weeks out anticipating that it will start falling out around month 3. I am embracing it while I still can *hugs hair*.

What has everyone else’s experience been with the hair loss?

I’m five months out. My hair loss started about a month or so ago. It was horrible at first huge clumps of hair coming out. Thankfully I have a lot of hair. But it seems to have slowed way down now and I am not pulling out as much hair as I was. Thank you Lord. I purchased a bottle of hair fluence from Amazon which is full of good things for your hair skin and nails. I don’t know if the decline had anything to do with starting to take those or not But I’ll take what I can get.

I am so glad your loss slowed down quickly. I have heard some horror stories about the hair loss.

I am hesitant to take anything only because I was advised by the nutritionist to avoid biotin. They said it could affect my labs...but if I’m not getting lab work done at the moment then maybe I can try this out! Thank you!

My hair started falling out about 6 months out. It started out in larger amounts than normal. Then it started to come out in large amounts to the point my scalp was sore after brushing my hair. I would suggest making sure that you reach your protein goals and taking your biotin.
