Should I cut my hair during or after pregnancy?

Question

I’m almost 30 weeks pregnant and I’ve read about postpartum hair loss so I was wondering if cutting my hair now could somehow prevent a major hair loss or if it’s better for my hair if I cut it after birth! I need advice :)

Answer

Cutting your hair won't help with the hair loss unfortunately. But I can tell you it doesn't last for too long. Mine started around 3 months pp and stopped around 6-7 months pp. The little patches are right at the temples so when my hair was pulled back I could see them. I doubt most people noticed anything. And my hair has always grown back again. If you want to cut your hair so it's easier to take care of after baby go for it. Just don't do it because you think it'll help with your hormonal hair loss.

Answer

If you’re wanting to cut your hair I feel like anytime would be good but maybe after would help you get feeling good about yourself after all the work you put in. But cutting your hair likely won’t change or stop hair loss. Everyone I know, including me, that lost hair lost it around the temples so I always avoid pulling my hair straight back and stressing it more. And start taking a multivitamin with the hair skin and nails ASAP after birth, that helped get my hair growing back and stopping the loss.

Answer

Not all women lose their hair in pp. unless you’re looking for change go for it. If not don’t stress it.

Answer

The most obvious part of hair loss if it happens to you is usually at the temples
