I'M BASICALLY GOING BALD: POSTPARTUM HAIR LOSS | Brittney Gray

[@mayelamartinez2911]

I love that even though you are insecure about it, you still showed your hair loss, because you are validating so many women right now ♥️👏🏻🙌🏻

[@sanya56123]

After delivery, I observed my hairfall but I remained calm. I took action to remedy it. I chose a wellness-focused approach. I took care of my diet, eating nutrient-rich foods, specially those high in Protein, Biotin. I worked out regularly and engaged in yoga for stress management. I avoided styles that pull on my hair and stopped using heated hair tools to minimise hair stress. I also started using LittleExttra's Coconion shampoo, hair oil combined with a wooden neem comb. The result was hairfall control and the return of my hair.

[@Pinkflo363]

I went through the same thing for my kids. It will definitely pass. Stay on prenatal vitamins for a while.

[@michelewallace9478]

The more I learn about all the changes your body goes through during and post-pregnancy, the better I feel about not having had kids. Those of you that take on the challenge are Super-Women in my book! Women's bodies are amazing and literally perform miracles! ❤

[@Elsas.6236]

To be honest If i would’ve known how my body was going to change I probably would’ve just not had kids either lol

[@brittneyharmon6647]

GIRL SAME 😭

[@doeeyes2]

Same!

[@Kmama801]

I’m happy I have kids I always wanted kids. I also wish I had more hair. I think if you’re leaning towards not having them, everything will confirm that cause there’s so much. you can only understand the joy once you have a kid of your own that brings you joy lol

[@Recoveringred]

Whether you have kids or not your body changes and ages. If you're lucky. Sorry to be the one to tell you this.

[@trollinislyfe]

Girl nobody talks about this part from pregnancy. I’m going through it now and I’m so depressed from the baby weight the balding, the stretch marks. Bringing a child into this world is not easy. I love your positivity

[@sankey1988]

I lost my hair on all 3 of my babies too. It was around my hair line but it was all over just thinner. I really noticed when I wore it in a pony. Then years after having my last baby i lost loads of hair again because I had basically no b12. I had to have injections and it's starting to grow back and its growing straight up off my head. It looks crazy 🤣 I would definitely get your bloods done just to be on the safe side, having babies can really take a roll on our bodies especially two under 2 ❤️

[@kreelesley]

i cant imagine how hard it is for you being a hairdresser and how much love you have for your hair and hair in general. that being said you are so stunning regardless of hair and children are blessings worth the sacrifices

[@purplestax4]

Gia is such a character and Noelle’s sweet cooing was so cute 🥰 they are so adorable and you look great Brittney it’ll all grow back xx

[@lifewithkris9371]

I cried so hard while cutting mine but I could not deal with the shedding anymore. It became devastating for me. Thank you for sharing this

[@nkimberly33]

Great video! If you haven’t done so already, get your thyroid checked! Postpartum thyroiditis is very common too, and hypothyroidism can cause significant hair loss. Ask for TSH, free T4, and free T3 screenings. I have JAT (juvenile autoimmune thyroiditis) and I frequently get bouts of extreme shedding. It was really bad after my son was born (thyroid & hair, plus I was really anemic).

[@VictoriaVaden]

Postpartum is literally no joke. After my second child (a girl), my hair was SO matted, crinkly, and stringy looking. I hated touching my hair too because a clump of hair was always coming out. My skin was full of cystic acne to the point that I looked like I had a bruised and busted lip. I had to go on Accutane for 7 months. While my skin was saved after that, my hair didn’t go back to normal until I conceived my third child (a boy) two years later. Now with my oldest (a girl), I had zero issues. LOL pregnancy is so crazy. Buttttttt, I love that you have your kids in your videos. 🥰

[@iCeleste7]

I’m 7 months postpartum and I’m in the awkward stage of growing my hair back. Baby hairs are sprouting out of the front of my head. It looks like baby grass sprouting out. 😑 I never wear my hair pulled back in a ponytail. Idk about the breastfeeding thing. I’m exclusively breastfeeding (my baby doesn’t know how to drink out of a bottle). I’m still balding! The things we go through for our babies!

[@_Ph0enixx_]

U seem like you’re dealing with it well tho and good for you. You are beautiful with or without hair💜💚💜

[@JediBunny]

I’m loving the energy of these new videos with the babies. Watching Gia’s antics is cracking me up 😹 and sweet Noelle (sorry if I spelled that wrong!) just gaze into the camera melts my heart lol. I’ve been thinking about having babies soon, so all these topics are really good for me to be learning about! Thank you for sharing your insights and experience with us here, Brittney! 💞🦋🌊☀️

[@therealdonnawagner]

Thank you for sharing this in such a candid way! While I didn't personally experience a lot of shedding, so many of my friends and family members either did or currently are. I think this video will be great to send to encourage them so they know that it's common, temporary, and not as big a deal as they immediately think it is while they are going through it, so they should keep looking at the bigger picture. You and your kidlets are so cute together! 😍 So refreshing to see a mom actually spending time with her kids rather than treating them as life accessories. Have a great weekend!

[@AK01318]

Brittney I am so glad you're back! You're babies are so beautiful! Thank you for continuing to share your life with us!

[@Matisse_Famke]

Hey Britt

[@zacriana]

This Brittney is my speed 😂 lmfao I love these new videos, you seem so much more confident and intentional. There's not as much "umm" "uhhh" stuttering and repeating yourself. You got something to say and your telling your stories very smoothly! 🖤🖤🖤 This next life step suits you so freaking well!! 🔥🥰🖤 You've matured and grown beautifully 😍

[@Mel1Ski]

Thank you for sharing your journey and being vulnerable for your viewers. You are beautiful no matter what.

Thanks for making this video and addressing pp hair loss AND for showing a real life example of what that looks like! ♥️

[@strawberryloli]

Missed you and love seeing you thrive with your babies! You still have so much hair regardless of the hair loss, I think you’ll be okay 💖

[@sarahcorder494]

[@Laya100]

It’s the multi-tasking for me while maintaining your composure! 💅🏽Big purrr energy. Much love to you and your beautiful family

[@brandispry576]

You are so awesome sharing this! You are gorgeous with or without a full head of hair. It will grow back soon. I know there are women that really appreciate you sharing your story. Your girls are so stinking adorable 🥰

Cute family, even the dog said bye ❤

[@revilsdr]

oh my gosh your kiddos are soo adorable. Definitely not an easy thing to talk about but so many women go through it.

[@delanabmanning]

😩😩😩😩😩 I went through it too!!! I’ve ALWAYS had edges but not after my 2nd daughter, Chile, I eventually woke up bald around my edges 😩. With my first baby, I had shedding but it was evenly distributed through my entire head. But this time, the universe said, “EDGES BE GONE!”

[@_Ph0enixx_]

Damn boo I haven’t even seen the whole video but the beginning made me sad for you see your beautiful hair gone

[@helpinghearts888]

🙌 yes, our bodies change so much during but not many speak of the after😩 we endure so much and still carry on❤️❤️❤️

[@mazziedonovan1586]

I love your energy!

Gia and the puppy getting into trouble in the background is so cute 🥺💓 partners in crime

[@pammiesue7931]

I’m glad you’re back and try taking iron supplements even if it’s a couple times a week that’s what stopped mine from falling out

[@eastonmartin5342]

It would be such an awesome video how to style thinning hair (especially receding or crown thinning where clip ins are limited options?). I was just stealing a look from a couple videos back because your classic beauty but laid back vibe always inspires me. Awesome video as always and thanks for sharing a hard story with knowledge and humor with kind and inspiring words for yourself and mothers going through the same.

[@elgawahergya]

You have the most gorgeous laugh 😂 I lllluv it, I’m so glad you’re posting often

[@Lexusdiaries]

I rinse my hair with black tea on wash day and that one incident cut down my shedding tremendously. I left my hair alone for a month and it seemed like it grew. I was amazed. Cause the way my hair was coming out in clumps I knew I was gone be bald headed 🤣

[@nerlinelaurore2387]

I feel you on the high energy toddler part. I’ve been looking for a gymnastics class for my 20 month old too.

[@LeaFreschette]

Had my first baby and the hair loss struggle is real! But it grows back I promise! ❤️

[@elliannrichardson4209]

I lost a lot of hair with the third baby. I think it’s more common than people really share.

[@SuzanneM0814]

I have 4 kids and I experienced hair loss with all. My youngest is gonna be 4 next month and my hair is now feeling and looking better than it had in a long time. It sucks but it does take time.

[@milenamilosevic3739]

Thank you for making this video, it's really encouraging 🙏

[@Iheartdolls4ever]

I have been watching your channel for years but I haven’t seen your videos recently. Your hair grew so much since the last time I watched, I hate the so much came out in the front. Cute babies 💕🥰.

I thought I recognized you! I used to watch your videos yeaaars ago 💖 glad you’re back!! I’m a mommy now too so here u are again saving me letting me know I’m not balding alone lol 😆

[@Mama_Tiffany_1313]

Thank you so much for this video. I had my son 8 and a half months ago, and at about 4 months, my hair just started coming out in clumps every time I ran my fingers, and especially the brush through it! I didn't really experience the postpartum hair loss with my first two kiddos. But it's BAD this time, and I cry after almost every shower knowing when I brush my hair, more is going to come out. So thank you for talking about your journey and sharing. It's nice to know you aren't alone. The hair loss has really gotten to my self-esteem and made me very depressed. My hair is so fine now.

[@tania0428]

How long did you have hair loss? Did it get better and start growing back.

[@Mama_Tiffany_1313]

@@tania0428 I had hair loss for about a year and my hair is just now getting back to a healthier length and just being healthy in general. I actually have two bald spots tho near the front of my hairline like Brittney, but that could be postpartum related as well

[@tania0428]

@@Mama_Tiffany_1313 thank you for replying back. This is so hard to go through.

[@aqueiraoshun157]

I cried when I saw this because i was so depressed about my hair falling out and I thought I did something really bad to my head. I tried so hard to get May hair back to a healthy state and my hair just kept coming out. Our hair looks/looked the same in the video. It took my doctors letting me know that I was having postpartum hair loss that I realized what was happening. I’m on my road to better vitamin in take and better diet

[@ANTIMLMEXPOSED]

I have to say yours was a bit more than my postpartum hair loss. But I commend you so much for making this video. If only they showed these kind of videos in sex-ed, teen pregnancy would be a rarity or it'd help prevent alot. I looked for what to expect videos when i was first pregnant with my 1st and NOONE was being honest lolllllllllllll.... joke was on me 🙄🤣

[@keirranorfleet]

First of all I knew nothing about you having any kids!!!! Omg I watched you since I was in highschool! I am 28 now and I am at awe that you have babies nnooww!!!!!!! 💕💕💕💕💕

[@reneeamal4995]

The baby blues postpartum hair vitamins are amazing! Definitely think they helped from inside which is important too. Not sure if you've seen them but they taste really good too. Hightly recommend.

[@kimh8527]

Thank you for this! Your hairline is similar to mine and the same thing happened to me each time I was pregnant. The hair always came back but never the same as it was before having children. Still wouldn’t change it for the world but good to know it happens to others too.

[@lopresti4559]

So glad u still have the doggie too. 🤗

[@MrzBadaBing]

Omg girl I’ve been wondering where you were so happy to see you again ! Girl this hair loss problem is REAL. I don’t have any kids but I’m experiencing hair loss it scares me that It will get worse ! I’ve been taking vitamins and doing what I Can too help it , I do feel like it stopped the shedding …I take multi vitamins , vitamin d3 (I think this is so important because we’re all lacking vitamin d especially if you’re from a place that’s cold) biotin , vitamin e, now I’m taking omega 3. I used to have coke bottle thick hair . I’ve been dealing with this since I was 18 I’m 34 now . I’ve lost 50 lbs too and still trying to lose more so I think that’s another factor . Many of my clients are having the same issue because of this stress especially ever since corona . Let’s just pray everyday for god to restore are hairs and activate the dead follicles . You still look BEAUTIFUL!

[@carolinep.7580]

I never knew this was a thing until a friend told me recently. I’ve had 3 kids and everything-but I did breastfeed all for 6 months

[@kameronanessa]

I went thru the same hair loss at my temples after my second baby too. 4 words: Jamaican Black Castor Oil. I massaged a few drops on my baldspots daily and my hair grew back after a few months. I use the one by the brand DNA per a suggestion, but I'm sure other brands work as well. Hope this helps. All the best to you & your family♡♡♡♡.

[@TheonlyKirindaMarie]

My sister is dealing with this with her second child right now. Thank you for sharing I am sharing it with her. ❤️ High NRG baby girls! Gia is beautiful, my 15yo was like that. I put my baby girl in sports, swimming you may be able to start that now and she is a 10 year Spanish immersion student. Yes agree with you keep her busy. 😊 you and your babies are so beautiful. ❤️❤️

[@VVVV-ug1pz]

I had the same issue after pregnancy. I went to the Dermatologist and my body was extremely low on iron. She gave me iron vitamins and hair grew back nice and fast. So after pregnancy, make sure ur iron is on check

Thanks - great vid

Can you do videos on how you style your daughters hair 💕

[@brookebenton8192]

You look so beautiful!!💖 I pretty much lost all my hair after I had my daughter. It's been 5 years and it never grew back 😭 I tried everything. I'm saving money for hair plugs now. I miss my hair lol.

[@BellaDonna0912]

Try rose Mary oil scalp massages! It does wonders!

[@Abbyravenclaw92]

I missed you..now lets watch this video

[@clopez247]

Oh my goodness girl it's been forever since I've seen you! You may be losing your hair and whatnot but girl! You are still as beautiful as ever! Love seeing you interact with ur precious babies! I started losing my hair but my kids are adults now lol! So I'm using ACV and rosemary to wash my hair. I noticed when i brush my hair less hair falls out. So hopefully this will prove to be effective long term. In case ur curious i boil 2 cups of filtered water with 2 tbsp of rosemary...fresh or dry it doesn't matter. Once it boils turn off and let it cool. Once cool add 2 tbsp of ACV. I put that into 2 empty water bottles to an even amount then i cont'd to fill up the bottles with filtered water. I love the smell! You would think it'd stink because of the ACV but it doesn't! I burned a fork and used the tips to make holes on the lid. I squeeze that stuff onto my roots and length when i shower and wash my hair. So i have eliminated the use of shampoo. I do use conditioner for the length when needed though. I just started so i can't tell u whether my hair has grown out yet on the thinning area...the crown of my head. But i can tell u that when i brush less hair comes off my head. Toe that's a win already. Anyway, love u and ur babies! So happy to see u back. ❤️

[@K.R-]

I had a similar hair loss pattern. I went through this too. I didn't start postpartum shedding/hair loss until almost 1 year after my daughter was born, likely because I stayed on prenatal vitamins. I tried everything but unfortunately nothing worked. My daughter is now 8 years old and my hair finally started growing back in that spot a little over a year ago!!

[@belovedobserver]

Mine was so bad at 4.5 months post partum. I think low iron can cause more hair loss, so taking prenatals with iron is good advice. It’s better now, but I’m pregnant again. I’m liking the ordinary hair density serum, and just taking better care of my hair.

[@rando2548]

I am so so sorry! Look into Divi hair serum. It might help!

[@soulovelee_2433]

[@dailytestimony4994]

I've definitely noticed clumps of hair coming out. I'm 4 months pp. I don't ever straighten my hair or wear it up. I have been taking my vitamins...I'm kind of shocked I have clumps coming out bc my hair did not grow during my pregnancy. I honestly thought it looked the best right after I gave birth....

[@lorelay2882]

Thanks for the video! So good to talk about this things, because it is unsettling, watching your hair shed like crazy, hairline thinning, so it's good to share and see other people going through the same thing. I didn't experience this post-partum, but for me it was after going off birth-control. It took me a while to put 2 and 2 together, and was getting really worried, as I started to loose all this hair for no apparent reason, but the timings you mentioned is totally what I experienced: About 4 months after going off birth control it really kicked in, and pretty much back to my normal full hair after a year. I somehow was totally unaware that the same thing could happen from going off birth control as with being post-partum, but of course it absolutely makes sense, as both is quite a shift in hormones!

[@ErikaShrout]

Oh man, I'm so nervous for the shedding...I'm almost in my third trimester with my first baby. I already have fine hair 😬 just gotta keep taking the pre-natals I guess!!

[@shygirlny1]

Also massaging your scalp with hair oil helps. I've went through shedding from having kids, thinning from stress throughout the years and just from tight headbands and hair rubber bands smh but hair oils help out a lot

[@deoniabailey3184]

Try drinking fenugreek water.. it helps with postpartum shedding and breast milk production.. but it you will smell like maple syrup

[@thestarlitmagician]

For your hair get some steel Nettle capsules I do not have kids but really really thin hair and fish oil they are toooo cute💕 Gia runs that show 😂

[@bernyberny165]

Had PP shedding all 3 pregnancies. I always used my prenatals because i breastfed. Still ended up looking like cynthia from rugrats. But it always grows back. Im 4 months pp and my temples are bald rn. I will say vitamin e oil helps with growing the sparse areas

[@liyab64]

Breastfeeding didn't help me. I breast fed all my babies. Currently on my 3rd and I produced more milk this time because I have a major overproduction but my hair looks just like yours and Its killing me. At this point my daughter has more hair than me.

I'm also dealing with postpartum hair loss as well. Then I got covid six weeks postpartum which didn't help at all. So like a double whammy. I'm at a loss on how to stop it. I'm taking vitamins still and using hair products to help strengthen but still am losing so much hair. Sucks. 😔

thank u for this video! my hair shedding didn’t stop until i stopped breast feeding and i breast fed for almost 16 months. my son also had a habit of playing with my hair to fall asleep which i thought was so sweet until i saw all the broken hairs at the nape of my neck one day 😅 my hair is noticeably thinner now, honestly it does make me a bit self conscious. i tried clip ins and i could barely hide the tracks lol. thank God my hair is naturally wavy/curly so it has body that disguises the thinness. in time it’ll grow back but damn… it’s no joke!

[@n_hou4771]

This is what I’m thinking, it probably has something to do with breastfeeding. I’m tandem feeding and losing excessive hair. I’m thinking about quitting bc it probably takes a lot out of you

[@stephlyndsey3932]

Do you have any thoughts on oils for hair growth? Do you think they work or just gimmicks?

[@NikkieTwix]

I went through the same thing and tbh my hair has never really went back to how it was fully before having my daughter and she is almost 5 and he’s my hair goes so short at the top of my head all the time. It grows back then starts to fall out again it’s frustrating

[@WheatToast]

When do you think it would be a “right” time to get the Japanese straightening treatment. I’m 6 months in and my postpartum hair is growing back and I’m happy it’s growing thicker. But I wanna be sure it healthy and all

Have you had your thyroid hormones tested? I thought I was just losing hair after my second daughter but turns out I had postpartum thyroiditis.
