Postpartum Hair Loss?

Question

I had my baby 4 months ago and I'm noticing my hair is falling out every time I brush it or wash it. I'm only 19 and no genetic balding so I'm wondering if it has to do with the hormones changing. I've always had long, thick hair. I'm afraid to lose it. Am I alone???
My scalp has been extremely dry recently as well

Answer

You are absolutely not alone. This is unfortunately very common. Mine didn’t stop falling out until my daughter was at LEAST one. Somehow I’m not bald.

Answer

No you are not alone! I am 4 months postpartum and I’ve noticed that my hair has been thinning out a lot. The other day a huge chunk came out when I was washing it. I don’t know why this is happening.

Answer

I haven't had this happen, but I was reading the other day that your hair can just not fall out as much when you're pregnant, so more falls out afterwards almost like it's catching up. Not sure how true that is, but I sae it on one of the pregnancy apps somewhere.

Answer

Mine started around that time and didn't stop until my daughter was a year old. I used to have very thick long hair, could hardly wrap your hand around it in a ponytail. Now it's so thin. I'm 19 months post partum and some of it is growing back in now, so I've little tufts of short hair. 
Fun times!
