[@KP-tn9cq]

Hi Dr. Thank you for posting this. I am now 4.5 months post partum and have lost so much hair that I can barely style it anymore. No matter which way I style it the bald spots are visible. I had never given hair loss a thought. It was never something that afflicted me and I simply wasn’t familiar with the subject. When my hair began falling out it was such a huge crash course in all things “hair loss” and I felt so lost and helpless. It’s been very stressful, embarrassing, scary, etc. To see the amount of hair I end up with in my hands during a shower or during styling is shocking to me. Every day I see it and I think, “Today is going to be the day... today is the day where it all falls out for good and I will be left completely bald.” And I imagine the stress that it’s causing is only exacerbating the problem. I sat down tonight in tears and thought I’d look for some help on KZbin and your video has brought me a lot of comfort. Thanks so much. All the best!

[@DrDrayzday]

thanks! very frustrating to go through

Did your hair ever regain normalcy?

[@MoonInVirgo]

Yes! I want to know also! Did your hair ever go back to normal shedding and growth? I’m 3 months pp and it’s coming out in handfuls. I just comb it and cry. I seriously have anxiety about even washing it because I know I’m gonna be rinsing out half the hair on my head.

You handle this topic with such compassion and caring. I did not notice this kind of hair loss because I wear my hair short, which also makes life easier for a new mom. So worth considering.

[@nataliewritesplans]

Thanks for this video! I'm 3 months postpartum and have been losing a lot of hair. I also tested low in iron from the delivery, so per my doctor i'm supplementing with that as well. Hopefully that and your tips help out.

[@p.s1978]

I’m also three months post pregnancy and I’ve been losing a lot of hair it’s scary. I was taking prenatales fortified with iron during my pregnancy, did the iron help with your hair regrowth?

[@nataliewritesplans]

@@p.s1978 The extra iron did help - my prenatals had it too. My ferritin levels were really low, and I had to work with my doctor to figure out a good iron supplement amount. Also, took it with an orange to help with absorption. I also tried collagen even though Dr. Dray says it's hogwash. :) Good luck, and congrats!

[@MoonInVirgo]

@@p.s1978 I’m three months pp and my hair just matted at the ends and came out in handfuls! I had to cut it off because of all the hair loss. I’ve seriously struggled with it mentally. How is your pp hair loss going? How long did it take to stop shedding?

[@drcpate]

@@MoonInVirgoI’m at almost 4 months postpartum and my hair shedding began a month ago. Obviously the shedding has been crazy and alarming all this while but the past few days have been especially bad just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse. When did hair loss stop for you? My hair texture is also matted especially after washing it and my hair just keeps shedding all day, everyday. The only way for me to not think about it (as if) is by tying it up once dry into a loose bun. I can’t imagine my hair ever getting back to its original state at this rate.

[@MoonInVirgo]

@@drcpate Have you had COVID recently? I had a mix of postpartum and COVID hair loss. I was almost completely bald around my hairline. And I would do the same thing.. I’d wash it and pin it up in a bun or piggy tail buns. It’s all grown back now! I’m not sure exactly when it stopped but don’t panic, it does stop and your hair will grow back. Also have blood work done to check and make sure you don’t have any deficiencies. I also was anemic with an iron deficiency and a vit D deficiency. I take vitamins for those and it’s helped a lot too. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. I know how hard it can be when your emotions are still all over the place after giving birth. But it will grow back. I’m not a patient person so it was hard to wait for it to all grow back in. Lol

I always had fairly thick hair but when I was pregnant it became incredibly thick and the color became redder! When it thinned a bit after birth I just thought it was returning to normal. I dont think "thinning hair" ever even registered on me. I lost most of my hair during chemo but all the hair on my head came back just as it was. My eyebrows and eyelashes have never returned to normal even after 5 years. Cheers!

Hi there! I’ve been trying new north controls for about a year and a half now. I also in the middle of that was told that I was no longer producing estrogen (which proved to not be true). However, while listening to my doctor, I started talking oral estrogen as directed. However, when I found out that my birth control I was on was to blame for the low estrogen. Long story short, I now have noticed so much hair loss. I’m not breastfeeding, but have questions about rogaine. 1. Can I put it all over my head? 2. Will my current hair fall out? 3. Will the hair that I do grow while using rogaine fall out if I were to stop using considering this wasn’t an underlying issue prior to hair loss? Thanks DrDray!

Does everyone get postpartum hair loss or is it case to case?

[@mamigetsreal4503]

I would imagine it’s different for every mom but I do know it’s very common because of the hormonal changes.

[@djfhfh]

About 50 percent of women

Why is it that more hair fall out from curly kinky hair girls?

[@maancarolina]

So true. My curls are gone 5 months post birth

[@MoonInVirgo]

Yessss! My curls matted together and came out in handfuls. The texture got so dry and limp. It was terrible.

4th month post partum, I Los all of my edges in the front and the nape of my hairline in the back is crooked. The entirety of my hair loses so many follicles I can cover and fill the entire bathroom sink.
