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.

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.

@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.

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.

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.

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.

@bhbee: uh, you are not alone 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.

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.

@DesertDreams88: My bio hair is a chin length bob. 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.
