postpartum hair loss tak cool

Adehhh now rambut i gugur tak ingat punye u'ols!! sisir dgn tangan pun berpuluh2 helai gugur. pakai sikat lagi lah (+_+) it's falling out in clumps now :(
my hair is EVERYWHERE -on my clothes, on my pillows, on the carpet, in the drain, in my baby's hand, and all over the floor (even not more than an hour after vacuuming!) benci tau tak! :(
seriously i hv been very nervous about the amount of hair i have been losing recently. jumlahnya sgt banyak bagaikan tak boleh diterima akal. & i really thought i was going bald. Bald. Botak. tskkk! (my hair is already getting very thin in the front tho) emo bila tgk cermin!


but i found some comfort when i read these:

No, you're not going bald. This is a temporary phase. In the normal cycle of hair growth, some hair is lost every day. But during pregnancy the increased levels of estrogen in your body freezes hair in the growing (or "resting") phase of the cycle. Hair that would normally fall out stays put, resulting in thicker hair. After you give birth and your estrogen levels decline, however, all that hair that was resting starts to fall out. This usually starts the third or fourth postpartum and ends by six months, but some women say it can last for a year. This temporary hair loss doesn't mean you're deficient in nutrition or vitamins, it's simply hormonal.

Postpartum hair loss commonly starts at around three months after birth. Postpartum hair loss is a normal, and temporary. The hair loss can seem more extreme if your hair grew much more than normal during pregnancy, or if you have long hair. Most women will return to their usual hair growth cycle within six months, or between 6 and 12 months after birth.

Many new moms are surprised to find themselves shedding more hair than usual in the first few months after giving birth, but it's perfectly normal. And there's no need to panic: You won't go bald. In fact, your hair should be back to normal by your baby's first birthday. By the way, not all women notice dramatic changes in their hair during pregnancy or the postpartum period. Among those who do, it tends to be more obvious among women with longer hair.

What can you do while you wait for your hair to return to its normal growth cycle?

• Get a good haircut. Some moms choose this time to get a shorter haircut or one that requires less care.
• Shampoo only when necessary and when you do it, use a thickening shampoo and conditioner. *i've tried Himalaya Anti Hair Fall Shampoo & it doesn't seem to work at all :(* previously i used Himalaya protein shampoo & dandruff shampoo- they work like magic
  
• Use a wide tooth comb and avoid combing wet hair
• Avoid ponytails or any other style that pulls your hair
• Avoid blow dryers and curling/flat irons

so as short term solution, potong rambut pendek & beli sikat baru yg bagus sikit konon2nye lah. other than that, redha & bertabahkan je lah hati tgk rambut2 bertaburan tu huhu.. aritu pharmacist recommend horse tail (for supplement) but not suitable for lactating mothers la pulak.


& while browsing i terjumpa about hair tourniquet (i br tau term ni). bahaya jugak rupenye. must be more careful.

-Strands of hair can end up tightly wrapped around your baby's tiny appendages, including his fingers, toes, wrists, ankles, and penis. This is called a hair tourniquet, and it can be quite painful for your little one. If you find him crying for no apparent reason, check carefully for tight bands of hair.

so mommiess back to the topic, siapa senasib dgn saya? *sobsobbs*
what's your solution?
