  1. Yeah I feel this my hair loss is serious like my hair line is thinned so badly and on my temples

  2. You shouldnt be putting collegen in heat it kills the purpose for what you are wanting it to do….Google it.

  3. Some women lose their hair after childbirth or menopause for the same reason as men do because suddenly they have the same two factors at work but women's hair loss can be cured faster and easier than men's . Conventional medicine has FAILED to solve HAIR LOSS because it has focused only on blocking DHT. I cured my HAIR LOSS with a NEW method which you can read about at http://www.BornAgainHair.com . This theory explains in layman’s language why the MAIN cause of HAIR LOSS is not DHT but a reduction in the BLOOD FLOW due to a tight scalp layer called the GALEA which causes an over-production of DHT and only then it becomes a « killer « . It shows you how to STOP hair loss and regrow your hair and revive dormant follicles using NO DRUGS, NO LOTIONS and NO SURGERY.

    The same factors are at work for those women who lose their hair and this NEW treatment works better and faster for women because their follicles have only been under attack for a short time and are not as compromised or dormant as those of men who have been balding for years.

    Do not be distracted by the very amateur looking website. If you are tired of the OLD and FAILED ideas, check this out because there are over 27,000 people using this NEW science and it really works. It is EASY to understand and very, very simple to use. It is also the LEAST EXPENSIVE method available and it does really work…you will NOT be disappointed again.

  4. I know of a 3 product hair treatment set that is working to grow hair back! (Even postpartum or after chemo)
    Please reply to know more. I’m seriously here to help!

  5. I didn’t experience this with my first but second time around its bad, almost scared it wont grow back

  6. I have thick, curly hair and didn't think the hair loss was a big deal the first time. The second postpartum hair loss was a little worse, and after the third kid I had an alarming amount coming out every time I washed my hair. Like I joked I could make a wig each time. Finally at 9 months postpartum the hair has stopped falling out and I see some new ones growing in. But I'm not sure my hair will ever be as thick as it was.

  7. 18 months postpartum and my regrowth is finally about 3.5 inches long. This REALLY got me down in the beginning. It was so hard and I had no idea how to style my “new” very thin hair with bald spots around my temples. Now I know why a lot of moms cut their hair after birth.

  8. I love your personality! I’m going through the same thing. Thanks for the video ❤️

  9. Haha I feel you mama! Post partum hair loss sucks and can feel scary. Now how about the post partum belly… and info how to get rid of it?

  10. I have had this. Yes, it is scary. But 3 months after my hair started growing back. I did not do or take anything special. Just lived life as normal. I think worrying about it makes time go slower and hence you feel it is taking longer to come back. But, trust in your body and take care of yourself and as a part of your hair cycle, your hair will come back. I want to loose my pregnancy weight… but I am afraid that it will take nutrients from my body and pause/ slow my hair growth.
