    Question When should it stop?

    My hair falling out that is.

    whenever i shower or brush my hair i pull out huge clumps of hair out. My hair now looks really ratty and just really unhealthy.

    There is hair all over my house, im forever pulling my hair off my clothes and off DD and its driving DP nuts!

    I don't remember when exactly my hair stopped falling out. But I'm pretty sure I kept losing hair for at least 6 months after Moo was born! Used to drive me insane too, it was just so unhealthy!

    I don't know how long your hair is, but would a decent cut help? I know my hair didn't feel anywhere near as thin and yuck once I had a good chop.

    mine fell out forever! Seriously though I think about 6 months, I never lost much during pregnancy though.

    I lost heaps, and it went on for months. In the end I started wearing pretty scarfs and bandannas until the regrowth was long enough to be hidden. If nothing else it's a great excuse to go shopping

    Its fairly long im thinking of getting it layered so it makes it look a bit better. I have to keep it in a messy bun to stop it from falling out everywhere and i only really take it out to shower or do my hair nice when i go out.

    I had a hormonal change about your age, and I haven't stopped losing hair since! At the time I thought it was because I dyed my hair black for the first time, but my GP said its normal to have a hormonal change around 20-22. He said the main thing to watch for is bald patches - while I lose a LOT of hair, and I'm talking clumps, it's growing in at the same rate. If you have thick hair, you'll notice loss in your brush more, but it won't be visible on your scalp

    Mine stopped falling out around 8 months. I ended up getting it cut above my shoulders. I now have a fringe to hide the regrowth.
