Post-partum hair loss - how can I cope?

[kelly ann]

The week I returned to work I started losing my hair - same as with DS. I can't believe all of the hair that falls out each morning. I am in meetings during the day with pieces falling out right on my face :(

Any ideas to spruce up the hair or give it more volume? I have pretty fine hair that is cut in a bob. Probably getting more frequent hair cuts at this time will help.

You don't want to know how I coped....I chopped it all! All that hair in the drain (and everywhere else) grossed me out so bad, I got a pixie cut!!

Good luck, I think it was one of the most annoying "side effects" of pregnancy!! It's gotta stop sometime.

I have fine hair as well, and it really doesn't look good cut too short. I just had to spend extra time applying volumizing mousse to my roots and blowdrying while bending over. I've liked the Pantene mousse I got. And a big round hairbrush is also helpful. The hair loss will stop eventually, but be careful! Some of the ones that have grown back are gray.

No ideas, but it's getting ridiculous. Between the dog hair (from our lab) and my constant shedding, the vacuum is working hard!
