Right around the 4 month mark, I started to notice my first postpartum
side effect: dramatic hair loss. This is very normal and usually occurs
between 3 and 6 months postpartum, when your hair hibernates for a
prolonged period of time, before making it's debut. I noticed it
suddenly, when I brushed my hair and a handful of hair came out in my
brush. My hair gets so unruly and knotted that I have to braid my hair
or put it up in a bun to prevent my hair from turning into a huge rats
nest, yikes! Every single time I brush my hair, hair falls out by the
handful, so I don't brush my hair everyday anymore.
Unfortunately, when I wear my hair up in a bun, my hair loss is
incredibly noticeable. My hair that frames my face has fallen out and
highlights my receding hairline as shown in this photo below. I used a
hair thinning powder and applied it to my hairline, and it has made a
world of a difference! I feel confident wearing my hair up again, thanks
to this amazing powder!

I am also taking Biotin vitamins, which I recommend!
In a few months, my hair will grow back, and I'm hearing that I'll have a
ton of baby hair that sticks up. I'll gladly take that over having bald
spots. Bring on the baby hair!
