hi, ive noticed these past few wks that some of my hair is falling out wen i wash or brush it, do u think this is normal?? ive heard that this can happen after pregnancy, but surely i thought it would have started b4 now??

My hair falling out is in full flow right now. I've been told it's totally normal to lose quite a lot of hair, and it's just started in the past couple of weeks. Having said that i have extremely thick hair, and it's falling out so much i have a bald patch - when i wash it i can pull it out in handfuls, so i'm going to the docs about this, to see if i can take some supplements to help, as i'm breastfeeding. x

Yep totally normal and my hairdresser has been keeping an eye on mine as I ahve a tendancy to lose more when stressed anyway so I assumed I was bound to lose loads. But actually my hair is in such good condition right now. Better than before I was pg, and it was good when pg but I put that down to the hormones etc. I've also stopped using conditioner (only once a wk now)and that has totally made a difference too. S x

Mines coming out thick and fast.. Feel so much better now I have read these posts!

Mines ok lol but gracie fayes is falling out at the back :-( boooooooooo x x

ahh that makes me feel a bit better now, glad its normal.gracie fayes will prob grow bk quicker then u think, my lo didnt have much hair to start with, lol xxx

oh my goodness! thank g-d for this post! I washed my hair the other day and tufts were coming out! I got really upset! It's slowed down now thankfully! I thought the after pregnancy hair loos would have been rite after and not at 3 months!

mine is falling out too, i'm having to keep it tied up all the time or it's EVERYWHERE! i keep blocking the bath everytime i have a shower...it's awful!! x

god every time i touch mine some hair falls out, but im kinda happy about it as my hair is very thick.

I ve just spent the last 5 mins and finger combing my hair ... huge pile of hair on my desk now and it keeps coming. I don't really care whether it falls out, as it is normal after preggors and all, but it is HELL annoying to find it everywhere! On the chiars, sofas, bed, shower, Hugo, in the butcrack even! baaaaaaaaah!

i know, its finding it everywhere thats really annoying isnt it, hubby keeps telling me off for "throwing" it on the rug in the lounge, as if i can help it- im sure he thinks i do it on purpose!! lol
fooxoo- ur post jus made me laugh- the bit about the butcrack!!!! ha ha ha xxx
