    Even my eyelashes are falling out!!!


    Just as the title suggests!

    Since DD was around 4 months, my hair has been coming out in clumps. Today I go to put mascara on for the first time in AGES and my luscious lashes are much thinner than they were

    Hey
    You can get products on the market that help condition and strengthen lashes. Some claim to thicken and lengthen lashes, which isn't the case at all, but its designed to help strengthen the hair, which stops it falling out so much, which gives the impression of thicker lashes.
    You can get it online or at price line, google lash serum, or lash gel. There is one called rapid lash, there is one made through refectocil (lash tinting products)
    I have never used them, but some clients at work have (beauty industry). The range from $20 up to $100+
    It usually takes 3 - 4 weeks to start noticing a difference. Some are applied like mascara and some like an eye liner.
    Something like that might be worth a try?

    Get yourself some Nioxin shampoo, and stop using that mascara, asap!

    A friend had the same thing..she was told it was down to the 'traumatic' birth she had. So a bit like a post traumatic stress thing. The only thing she was told to do was wait and it would get better as her body, hormones and her head healed after the birth.
    Some of the suggestions you have had sound great.
    I get my eyelashes tinted rather than use masacara as I don't like the feel of mascara.

    I use really good mascara YSL so it's not like it's crap stuff.

    Thanks for the tip on the shampoo stuff!!

    It's awful isn't it? According to my hairdresser it's quite normal.
    But I miss my beautiful long eyelashes and my thick hair!
