I was tired of LO constantly pulling on it, it was falling out, and completely dead and dry anyway. So I chopped it into a chin length bob and I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-how-did-you-deal#post-806805 Fri, 24 May 2013 09:15:47 +0000 regberadaisy 806805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: I've always had bangs for the last few year until I get too lazy to trim them. But when the baby hair got long enough where they're not spiky I went and got my bangs back. Helped a TON. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-how-did-you-deal#post-806642 Fri, 24 May 2013 08:35:14 +0000 BlueWolverine 806642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, the hair loss is killing me. I have managed to stick to my cut/color every 6 weeks or so, and the past two times I have felt really bad for the Gigantic clumps. So gross. I haven't really been doing anything special to deal. I'm 4.5 mo pp and it seems like it has slowed a bit. I'm really tired of pulling my gross hair clumps out of the shower drain. Ug. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-how-did-you-deal#post-806606 Fri, 24 May 2013 08:24:24 +0000 Weagle 806606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: I stuck with long angs to hopefully weigh down the crazy hairs. My long bangs stay down, but the baby hairs stick straight out. Straight. Out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-how-did-you-deal#post-806600 Fri, 24 May 2013 08:22:29 +0000 shopaholic 806600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yerpie110: Let me know if you do it! I'm contemplating a wavy perm, but what if half that hair falls out anyways? </p> <p>@hilsy85: @Weagle: @regberadaisy: I feel like this is what Kourtney Kardashian kind of looks like now (from their E! family interview). I was thinking bangs would help when I get to that point, but apparently not so?</p> <p>@WALLAROO: OMG - Our shower is suddenly very slooow-draining this week. I got to clean the drains today - reminder! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-how-did-you-deal#post-806538 Fri, 24 May 2013 07:49:20 +0000 regberadaisy 806538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, dealt with it for about 3-4 months. I just let it be although I really wished I went to cut it short during! The baby hair that grows back is even more fabulous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-how-did-you-deal#post-806523 Fri, 24 May 2013 07:40:17 +0000 yerpie110 806523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ugh, i'm going through this now too. i'm only 4.5 months pp, and didn't realize how long it would last!! i'm thinking of getting a cut or perm, but i'm not sure it will help much. i may just let nature run it's course and hope i'm not bald in a few months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-how-did-you-deal#post-806520 Fri, 24 May 2013 07:39:07 +0000 WALLAROO 806520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, I am going through this right now. My hair is long and black and it looks like I lose a ton after each shower not to mention what else I shed throughout the day. I'm getting a haircut next week but mainly because it has lost it's shape and looks flat. Doubt it will help but hopefully it looks good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-how-did-you-deal#post-806510 Fri, 24 May 2013 07:29:42 +0000 purrpletulips 806510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>vacuumed and swept the floor more, not much help sorry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-how-did-you-deal#post-806508 Fri, 24 May 2013 07:25:52 +0000 hilsy85 806508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: ha they are terrible...They're like itty bitty bangs on me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-how-did-you-deal#post-806506 Fri, 24 May 2013 07:24:27 +0000 Weagle 806506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: The baby hairs! They're awful. If I don't dry my hair carefully I have a mane/halo. 2-3 inch pieces sticking out all over my head... Not just my hairline. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-how-did-you-deal#post-806505 Fri, 24 May 2013 07:23:06 +0000 Weagle 806505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing. Wore a lot of ponytails until it slowed, then got a cut. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-how-did-you-deal#post-806502 Fri, 24 May 2013 07:18:36 +0000 hilsy85 806502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got bangs about at 4.5 months pp, when the hair loss was really bad...now it's slowing down, at 7 months pp and I hate my bangs! I'm also getting all these teeny baby hairs growing in at my hairline.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-how-did-you-deal#post-806496 Fri, 24 May 2013 07:12:47 +0000 petunia354 806496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing, just letting nature run it's course!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-how-did-you-deal#post-806486 Fri, 24 May 2013 07:03:59 +0000 matador84 806486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is still going almost 9 months pp. I have mid back length and I'm just leaving it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-how-did-you-deal#post-806481 Fri, 24 May 2013 07:01:56 +0000 Mrsjets 806481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a trim and it didn't help. I was still losing a bunch at 9 months PP! I thought I was going to be bald, but it's slowed now at 12 months PP. This was one of the hard parts, I hate my thin hair now :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-how-did-you-deal#post-806406 Fri, 24 May 2013 06:07:44 +0000 loveisstrange 806406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a trim and got the hairdresser to thin and relayer it. Dont think it really helped.</p> <p>Mine lasted about 3 months, from 3-6m pp. I just sort of waited it out. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-how-did-you-deal#post-806403 Fri, 24 May 2013 06:05:47 +0000 sorrycharlie 806403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I trimmed mine a few inches and it didn't help. Not sure if that's what you wanna hear or not, haha! And more bad news..mine is still going at 8 months pp! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-how-did-you-deal#post-806399 Fri, 24 May 2013 06:00:28 +0000 SleepyMonkey 806399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i cut mine short into a chin length bob. it was a big adjustment, but it was less stressful because it appeared as if i didn't lose as much hair since it is shorter. so i really regretted it for a couple days and then i saw how easy it was (literally brushed my hair once and it looked awesome) and i thought it looked really chic, plus i look like i have tons of hair. the only thing that annoys me is that i can't pull it back in a ponytail and LO is grabby. i'm almost 7 months pp, and i am still shedding, but probably has slowed a bit. it started seriously around 4 months pp. btw, i have stick straight asian hair so a short bob works really well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-how-did-you-deal#post-806350 Fri, 24 May 2013 01:33:41 +0000 MamaJ 806350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm just suffering through it. Short hair is harder for me to manage because it turns into a curly mess and I can't pull it back. 6 months pp and still shedding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-hair-loss-how-did-you-deal#post-806329 Fri, 24 May 2013 00:53:12 +0000 shopaholic 806329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Post Partum hair loss is in total effect here! Wondering how some of you ladies dealt with it?</p> <p>Did you cut your hair shorter? If so, why? To make it look fuller or because shorter hair is easier to clean up?</p> <p>Did you cut more layers, curl, or perm it to look fuller?<br /> I'm like Jen Aniston and quite devoted to my longer hair. But it's all I can do to keep it on my head these days. Tell me: How Did You Deal? And when does it end?!?! </p>
