I ordered an organic castor oil online and applied it straight to my scalp where I was balding.

How about biotin? It helped when the hairdresser took a razor to my bangs and they kept breaking off. It's for hair, skin, and nails.

For those that have tried castor oil, is it the laxative you're referring to? Just apply it to the scalp?

Thank you ladies. Yes pp I EBF . Ekkk I new it was common to loose hair but I didn't know to the point of balding. I definitely didn't loose that much with my first.

Lol pp like a spring chicken that literally made my laugh.

It'll get better! Mine was terrible, as well..started at 3 months pp. My hair started looking normal again, but a little thinner, around 8/9 months pp. It was really awkward as it grew back, too! I looked like a spring chicken, with little hairs sticking up everywhere around my face. I wore a ton of headbands and knot ems. I had the worst receding hairline, ever. Even parting my hair differently didn't hide them.

Are you breastfeeding op? along with taking your prenatal and castor oil I'd look into a vitamin called MSM. I haven't gone through pp hair lost but msm is really good for our body's and also helps with hair growth.

This is like nothing. I literally lost layers and layers off the bottom and a bunch from the top where your losing it. I wish I lost this much ?

3.5 months pp. This hair loss is crazy! I'm losing handfuls!

I'm almost 7 mo pp and I went thru this. I'm just now starting to get new growth so I have 'baby bangs' all along my hairline

mix castor oil with coconut oil and omg it becomes so thick and beautiful

I used castor oil on the areas I was losing hair and it definitely helped it grow back x

Get your thyroid checked. Just as it can get wacky during pregnancy it can get wacky after the baby. Hair loss is a sign of thyroid issues.

If it's not that, I see some girls post on a supplement for hair/nail growth.

Castor oil

I've seen some people put some matte dark eye makeup (that matches your own hair color) when there in thin hair, makes it look a lot thicker! I would do that in the meantime, until it grows back

Yes continue your vitamins esp if your nursing. My hair got that bad too. It was on both sides of my head. It's only now starting to grow back and my sons 22mths old

Ahhh I remember I had awful balding.

@skate yes please send me the link.. I have 5 bald spots this is just one of them.

This isn't even extreme, believe it or not. It's so scary when you first realize you've lost this much hair. Seriously go get yourself castor oil. If you want I can tell you the one I used. I was able to get it cheaper on Amazon so I can send you a link. It promotes hair growth.

No I stopped taking prenatal I'm going to buy some asap!! Thank you ladies I'll try all the suggestions.

Are you still taking your prenatals? That helps. Nioxin shampoo, conditioner, and treatment are pretty good. I used that last time and it stopped the shedding.
