P.G. asks from Fort Worth, TX on September 03, 2010

What's up with My Hair???

So I have naturally thick hair (thank goodness). I didn't really notice thinning when I was pregnant. I BF'd for 2.5 years - my son will be 3.5 in october. Over the past few months I've noticed that my hair is SUPER THICK - I feel like I have 1/3 more hair than I did 3 months ago! What's up? Is there anything I can do to manage this or is it just my hair getting back to normal? It's naturally wavy, though not as much as it used to be.

Thanks!

Nope, not pregnant. I'd be happy to share my hair w/Katie if I could (LOL)! :)

Any chance you're pregnant? Because your hair stops falling out when pregnant. Just a thought...

How's the humidity in your area? My naturally curly hair doubles in volume in humidity or when I'm sweating a lot, so actually feels (when I ponytail it/ etc) to be 1/3 to 1/2 again thicker.

Ditto, I'd grab a pregnancy test to rule that out as well.

My son is 16 months and a couple months ago my hair did the same thing!!!
I am most definitely not pregnant! I just went to the stylist and she used the razor and thinning shears to thin the bulk out. It looks and feels so much better!!!
