I put on a wig cap to keep it contained under the wigs. I've bought from wigs.com, cysterwigs.com, wigoutlet.com and wigstudio1.com before. Wigs.com and wigoutlet.com probably had the easiest return policy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-styling#post-2872509 Sun, 17 Feb 2019 12:35:38 +0000 LCTBQE 2872509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkb: oooh good to know, thank you. I need to get regular with my vitamins! </p> <p>@bees_knees: @Myicitygirl: yep, same with the hairline. I look like Jack Nicholson. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-styling#post-2872505 Sun, 17 Feb 2019 12:00:03 +0000 pinkb 2872505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After #2 it never seemed to let up. At my next annual exam blood work showed some deficiencies, particularly vit d. Taking supplements made it so much better. Just a FYI, that after babies our bodies change and it might be more than the regular hair loss. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-styling#post-2872504 Sun, 17 Feb 2019 11:18:09 +0000 bhbee 2872504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LCTBQE: I did not lose this much after my second so I don’t know when it ends, but hopefully soon! And yes it is kind of comical how it is stuck on everyone around here. I’ve had a couple kid sick days where I just put it up without combing and the next day ... sooooo much came out. I know it’s normal but come on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-styling#post-2872497 Sun, 17 Feb 2019 10:31:57 +0000 LCTBQE 2872497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: uh, you are not alone :heart: my hair has been coming out in sheets since early December, it is half disheartening and half disgusting how much comes out in the shower or is just stuck to every damn thing in our house. I keep trying to remember how long this went on with my first pregnancy--3 months? 4? do you remember?? hoping it's over soon and we can start growing our weird short patches of baby hair back. as for styling, I switched my part but am otherwise just hanging out, looking like this. Eh. wonder how the rest of our August ladies are doing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-styling#post-2872493 Sun, 17 Feb 2019 10:15:22 +0000 DesertDreams88 2872493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LemonLong: interesting! How short is your original hair? Where you buy your wigs? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-styling#post-2872442 Sat, 16 Feb 2019 20:37:25 +0000 LemonLong 2872442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gave up on my hair about 6 months ago and moved to wigs. I love them- I have perfect hair everyday. The attached picture is me in two different wigs-it literally takes me minutes to "do my hair" now. </p> [attach=2482/19/pn1r6d.600x596.wigs.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-styling#post-2872192 Fri, 15 Feb 2019 09:12:51 +0000 JennyPenny 2872192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Myicitygirl: Unfortunately not yet :( I'm not sure how much of that is baby hormones or all the other things - being in my 30s, I've started coloring my hair, I never have time to do my hair so it's constantly in a ponytail, etc. Though maybe I should have my thyroid checked too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-styling#post-2872189 Fri, 15 Feb 2019 08:53:57 +0000 Mama Bird 2872189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hair kind of falls out everywhere a little and gets all thin. I try to wash it less often, because it's very fine after washing, and clumps into these sad-looking strands. It looks better when I give it a few days between washings. </p> <p>Also, Burt's Bees avocado butter pre-shampoo is really good for giving it some weight, but I can't find time to use it with a little baby in the house, so... oh well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-styling#post-2872166 Fri, 15 Feb 2019 01:09:43 +0000 bees_knees 2872166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Myicitygirl: yes mine did. Or at least it started to grow back, and then I would have another baby and it would all fall out again. Repeat. Haha. </p> <p>How many pregnancies did you have? You might want to get your thyroid checked! I just read an interesting study saying many many moms of 3+ kids have under functional thyroids that often times goes undiagnosed because the symptoms get attributed to mothering 3+ kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-styling#post-2872165 Fri, 15 Feb 2019 01:05:35 +0000 Myicitygirl 2872165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyPenny: @bees_knees: did your hair return to its pre-baby state? Did anything help? I’m 5 years out and I still have bald spots along my temples and my part still looks thin. I can’t wear my hair half up/half down or slick it back into a bun anymore. It’s quite depressing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-styling#post-2872156 Thu, 14 Feb 2019 23:33:30 +0000 bees_knees 2872156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: Ugh it's so hard. Like you're already feeling blah about your body, short on sleep, hormonal and crazy...and HEY LET'S MAKE YOUR HAIR FALL OUT, TOO!! Thanks, Mother Nature. </p> <p>I have no tips. It didn't seem to matter what I did, I lost toooons of hair after all 3 babies. Mine was especially bad along my forehead, so the style that @Foodnerd81 posted would not have been flattering. Super annoying for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-styling#post-2872152 Thu, 14 Feb 2019 23:09:27 +0000 Foodnerd81 2872152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found doing a front side braid or twist helped some, as it was growing back in and the front pieces were all short and fly away-y. But depending on where the thinnest parts I guess it could make it worse too. It is sooo annoying! But a bit of hairspray before braiding it or twisting it usually helped. </p> [attach=2307/19/pmy8vs.600x450.91280435-E8E6-4CD6-9B29-05896183945F.jpeg] [attach=2307/19/pmy8vt.416x447.353CA54A-F325-4D03-826D-4F150382FE61.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-styling#post-2872151 Thu, 14 Feb 2019 23:05:37 +0000 Shantuck 2872151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m still using it and my baby is almost 2.5. Seriously so good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-styling#post-2872150 Thu, 14 Feb 2019 22:37:52 +0000 bhbee 2872150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shantuck: ooh I’ll try it - great reviews! I’m clearly going through some kind of pp crisis because I’ve been placing way too many Sephora orders :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-styling#post-2872144 Thu, 14 Feb 2019 22:09:24 +0000 Shantuck 2872144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I would have known about this stuff sooner (<a href="https://lemonstripes.com/beauty/product-post-partum-hair/" rel="nofollow">https://lemonstripes.com/beauty/product-post-partum-hair/</a>). It was a game changer for my post-partum hair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-styling#post-2872135 Thu, 14 Feb 2019 21:09:08 +0000 JennyPenny 2872135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Recently I switched my part to help hide some PP hairloss and fuzzies. I was especially bare in the front where the part was though - I don't know if that's a common pattern or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-styling#post-2872133 Thu, 14 Feb 2019 21:02:25 +0000 bhbee 2872133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m 6m pp with #3 and the hair loss is killing me this time around. I was hoping for a slow down by now but nope ... thankfully I doubt it’s really noticeable to others (because who is paying attention?) and it’s fairly uniform but it is really making me sad! My hair is so flat/thin and the front hairline is not looking great. I have fine hair (but usually a lot of it) that falls below the shoulder. </p> <p>I’m taking prenatals for BF and don’t see any signs of thyroid issues so probably have to wait it out. But surely there must be styling techniques/products/tips?</p> <p>I’m also wondering if I should skip highlighting my roots for a bit. I’m guessing it could use a cut to lighten up the length though. </p> <p>Thanks for any tips! </p>
