SOS, my hair has been shedding so much for the past 2-3 months, I think I am going to go bald soon! People say that a mother’s hair will shed more once baby is around 6 months old. Yup, it did happen to me for a short period of time and then everything was fine, all the way until recently when it began shedding again. I even went to the hair salon to have my precious locks trimmed a few inches shorter but this isn’t a help at all. Each time I wash my hair, I see a gob of hair on my hand when I run my hand through my hair, eeeeks! Everywhere that I go, I see hair on the floor – the bathroom, my room, my kids’ room, my mil’s room, the living room, inside my drawers, everywhere, double eeeeeks!! This is freaking me out!
I’ve read that everyone loses between 40-120 strands of hair a day, depending on how much hair you have, your age & your hair’s growth cycle. People with fine hair tend to have more of it and therefore will lose more of it than their thicker-haired sisters & brothers. Ah, this may also be one of the reasons coz I have baby-fine hair that is brown in color.
I wonder if I am lacking in some nutrients since I am still breastfeeding and Baby must have sucked me dry and malnourished, could that be the reason? I’ve read that a deficiency in iron can also cause hair loss. Or is it because I wash my hair twice a day on most days? I exercise every morning and wash my hair in morning. By night time, I am all sweaty again from all the cooking and chasing 3 hyper-active kids around the house and need to wash my hair again. Oh gosh, what’s wrong with me? I hope I don’t have to wear a wig before I turn 40 years old!
Does anyone have a tried and tested hair tonic or shampoo that can significantly reduce hair loss? Please do let me know!
Woahhhhhh! Calm down!! The exact same happened to me too and I went to see my dermatologist. She had a good laugh at me and said the same happened to her too after she gave birth. Sure enough it did stop once I stopped breast feeding. It’s a hormonal thing. Don’t worry and don’t go buying expensive shampoo that promises this and that. Be careful of whatever chemicals/medicated skin creams etc as it will get into breast milk.
My hair also falling. As long as it grows, I am not so worried.
Yup, gotta becareful with those hair tonic as most are chemical-laden stuffs a.k.a cancer causing agents. But are you sure that they are shedding or are they breaking? Coz I have a lot of tiny tiny/antennae-like hair which is actually weak hair that broke.
Oh…if it’s hair dropping, mine stopped at around 6 months after I gave birth. It seems that the bee pollen and royal jelly that I took helps in reducing the hair fall
