Hellobee Boards

Mrs. Bee, I was JUST thinking about this today! My problem is that I always put my hair in a ponytail because it's just easier but I need to feel more human again and want to indulge in a proper hair cut or digiperm. My only concern is that at 3months post partum, I'm wondering about the mega hair loss I'm sort of expecting. Should I wait for my hair to fall out and then get an awesome haircut? BTW, I LOVE the long bob! I want one, but my hair is SO thick that it couldn't lay straight and beautiful. I'm thinking perm OR a shorter, thinned out, lotsa layers bob.

I did a postwedding chop and ultimately hated it because it was cut too short in a style that wasn't easy to maintain. I'm in desperate want of a post baby chop...Just have to decide what.

If YOU decide, let us know, so that I can just copy you.

My daughter is 3 months old and I just got my post baby chop last weekend. I actually feel more energized now. My hair got quite long because the last time I had it cut was a year ago before I got pregnant. I wanted to wait longer so I can donate it but I just couldn't take it anymore. I was putting my hair in a ponytail everyday since my baby was born because she was getting hold of my hair and pulling since day one. After a while I was just feeling very frumpy mom. Also I lost my hair very badly with my son and putting my hair up showed all the parts where hair was thinning out. I didn't want to go through that again as I am starting to enter the postpartum hair loss phase. I got a bob shorter than the one in your picture but long enough that I can still put up in a tiny ponytail. Pretty easy to upkeep.

Love the picture you posted Mrs. Bee! But.... if you don't have fine hair, this hair style may require some more maintenance such as using a straightener to achieve this style (or you could go and get one of those japanese straight perms). For someone with thicker hair, I cut my hair short like this a year ago and had to use a straighter on a regular basis....~15 extra minutes added

Anyone care to share at what month one's hair fell out the most?

My hair is falling out the most right now 3 1/ 2months post baby.

My hair's straight and super long. I usually have it in a pony tail--keeps it outta my face, outta my baby's hands and prevents hair from getting on the floor
I have an appointment this Saturday to get my hair cut. Probably going to cut off a few inches and get some layers.

I think the one you posted or any of the short angled cuts would be great for moms. I've always had short hair but now that I'm a mom, I stopped getting super-short haircuts because they require hair appts that I don't have time for. However, I LOVE the a-lines/angled cuts because:

1) it's stylish when you actually put effort into styling it (and it pretty much styles itself if cut right)
2) looks good just tucked behind your ears when you don't have time
3) it's higher in the back so you don't have the weight of hair settling on your neck (I hate that!)
and 4) you can let it grow a couple of inches (if necessary) and it'll still look good.

Here are some examples, I like Kelly Clarkson's the best
