Post Partum hair loss? :(

Hi,

I'm currently 6 months post partum and my hair has been falling out like crazy since 2 months PP. My hair stylist today said that she had read in school on time that post partum hair loss stops eventually. She actually seemed concerned when a whole bunch of hair came off into her hand...

Are or have any of you have had experience with this or know some info on it?

Thanks so much in advance.

I'm 4 months pp and losing hair like crazy! I think it has something to do with breastfeeding and I just got the Mirena 2 months ago. I hope it stops soon.

My DD is almost 4 mos and I'm still losing a lot of hair. It's so gross. I had to buy a shower drain cover thing and I hate showering with DH bc I don't want him to see how much hair comes out. hah. I'm just hoping it stops soon! I don't remember this with my son.

My DD is 14 months and I still loose a ton of hair! I also still breastfeed. I wear my hair up a lot so that prolly dosn't help.

Mine started slowing down about that time. :) Maybe some remedies can help. Saw one on pinterest today with coconut. It said something about making hair grow fast.

yup. i heard a lot about this while pregnant and was very scared. I am currently 3/12 months pp and my hair is now starting to fall out. It appears that the duration of hair loss is very different for everyone though, but the one consistent thing I've heard is that you should continue taking vitamins, which it appears you are! and i too have gotten a hair cut, but I may need to go shorter :-/
