Hair Loss - Bradenton,FL

does anybody know what to do about massive hair loss after a pregnancy. I don't remember it being this bad with my first child. I can probably make a child's wig out of all the hair i have lost in the past 2 weeks.

What can I do next?

Try using a shampoo & conditioner called Nioxin. Its a litte pricey & can only be found in salons (or online). Its worth every penny. A lot of cancer patients use it b/c it stimulates your pores & helps your hair grow strong & healthy. I highly recommend it.

Dear S.,
My hair fell out like crazy for a while. I lost so much hair that when it came back it looked like I had bangs in the front. I honestly had to clear the drain out in the shower everyday. This is super normal!! If you are noticing bald patches you could have a thyroid imbalance. It will come back! K.

my second son is 1 year old and I am still losing my hair by the hand full, I honestly cant figure out why I am not bald yet. It seems to slow down during the month and when it becomes "that time" I loose in clumps. My Dr said its "normal;" good luck A.

Get your thyroid checked. It is a blood test.

I don't know about hairloos after pregnancy-
but I am 13wks and seems to be losing a lot of hair. I dont remember losing this much with my first pregnancy; but its really bad his time around. It may also be because my hair is much longer this time around....

I have heard that if your thyroid is off that can have some effects; but not sure.

just to let you know on average humans loose about 100 strands of hair, when a woman gets pregante her hair doesnt fall out unless it breaks...now that you arent pregnate anymore you are back to loosing hair agin since your hormaones are changing.....it is shocking since you have spent the last nine months not loosing hair...it is very normal!!!!!!

Hello. Sorry to hear you are having this problem. I had it after I suffered a miscarriage. I went to the hair stylist and she told me to buy a shampoo and conditioner called Nioxin it was made for cancer patients that lose their hair and now it for any kind of hair lose problem. It works WONDERFULLY. It is a little pricy but I only had to purchase one set and it was amazing. I could only find it at the hair salon. Hope this helps.
