There are many reasons u might be having hair loss.
Are you or have you any of the following:

Change of Diet – resulting in lack proper nutrients

Stress/Baby Blues – the stress hormones are unbalanced and your body can release insufficient chemicals to maintain stability. Therefore, causing u 2 change the way u act or eat, sleep, etc.

ALSO, your body is so use to the prenatal vitamins for the upkeep of your body and your baby’s health while your were prego. When you suddenly stopping supplying that nutrient after 9 months, it threw it off track. Try to substitute with another kind of vitamin. Try a Centrum for Women or something that is rich in calcium and beta carotene.

For a lot of women this is normal, even more so for women of our culture who have relaxers. 1st off, stop getting the relaxers for a while. Your hair needs a good hot oil treatment and you either need to consider braids or a natural hairdo until you hair finds its strength again.

My sister and I had that problem, too. My doctor said that is was normal b/c your body is trying to restraiten out your hormones. It eventually stopped falling out and is back to it’s prepregnant, thick state! My son is now 10 months old.

This normal for post pregnancy. It will stop soon. To keep it healthy and growing however, go to HSN.com and order the Andrew Lessman’s Healthy Hair Skin and Nails supplements. They really work. Read all the testimonials!

Hormonal changes can do that to you at anytime, but it is common for some hair loss to occur after giving birth. My advice is to check with your doctor though. Not only will you be able to get some answers, but if nothing else, it’ll make you feel better.

Hugs and btw, congratulations on the birth of your child!

The bad news is, is that no matter what you do your hair will fall out like crazy after you have a had a baby. The reason for this is that normally your hair goes through a process of growing and falling out, a few hairs a day. However, while you are pregnant the cycle stops and you do not lose any hair for 9 months, so their is a lot of catching up to do. The good news is that after about 4-6 months your hormones, which have dropped considerably, will normalize and your hair will go back to it’s normally pre-pregnancy cycle. You will also find that you have a lot of new hair growth all at once as well which will take a while to fully grow out. As for your hunger, if you are breast feeding keep in mind that it is normal for you to be hungry as you need extra calories to produce milk. It takes a while for everything to go back to normal after having a baby give yourself another month or so and you should notice a decrease in your appetite. Make sure you take some sort of vitamin supplement, especially if you are nursing. Nature’s Choice makes a good one. As for hair treatments, try Ojon, you can get it at Sephora. It works amazingly well on dry or damaged hair and has an incredible date palm oil smell.
