My twin boys will be 5 months pretty soon... I've heard that after pregnancy women tend to loose their hair... Is this true? My hair loss is so dramatic that I am starting to worry and stress about it. Has anyone gone through this and can you share your experience???

My daughter had bad hair loss after her last pregnancy. She had long hair (1/2 way down her back). She cut it to a little shorter than shoulder length to minimize that loss. Her son is now 7 months old and she has noticed that her hair is growing back in.
The most common period of hair loss occurs approximately three months after delivery. The rise in hormones during pregnancy keeps you from losing your hair. After delivery, the hormones return to normal levels, which allows the hair to fall out and return to the normal cycle. The normal hair loss that was delayed during pregnancy may fall out all at once.
Up to 60% of your hair that is in the growth state may enter into the telogen resting state. The hair loss usually peaks 3-4 months after delivery as your hair follicles rejuvenate themselves. As noted before, this hair loss is temporary and hair loss returns to normal within six to twelve months.

Wash your hair every other day instead of every day. I lose the most hair during shampooing and conditioning and blowing dry. Also, count your hairs. This takes a while, but if you've got a handful of hairs that have fallen out during your shower, dry them off and count them one by one. It's okay to be losing 50-100 strands a day, according to my stylist.

See a dr and talk about stress and running lab tests to check your thyroid. The thyroid gland can be responsible for hair loss, lethargy, depression, weight gain and much more.

go to your local health food specialty store and pick up a bottle of NONI juice. this should help you. it tastes really bad, but you will feel 100% better within a couple of weeks!
