Pregnant? Nursing? --Hair loss remedy
I'm a mother of a six-month-old darling little girl. She is such a joy to our lives, but as I was carrying her, during those long nine months, my hair began falling out. I hated taking showers because more times than not the drain would be clogged with the long strands and I'd be wearing alot of it wet and tangled on my back, shoulders and arms.
Well I tried to ignore it, tried to deal with it, but when my daughter was born and I began breastfeeding her, I realized I had to get help. I could just run my hand through my hair and come back with a handful of loose strands. It was just lying on top of my head, not in clumps, but loose annoying strands that were everywhere--on my daughter's clothes, on our floor, on our couch.
Finally I asked other mothers who'd recently had a baby and were dealing with the same thing and I was recommended to get on a good women's multi-vitamin with vitamin B, E, and most importantly Zinc. Plus, I was to take a Stress-Zinc vitamin as well in the morning, each pill once a day. I take Nature Made (Women's vitamin) and Vitamin World (Stress/Zinc supplement). I take mine at breakfast.
Well, that was two months ago and now I'm proud to say my hair is on the road to healing. I can run my fingers through my hair and my hand comes out 90% of the time, hair free.
I also have been using a deep conditioning shampoo/conditioner (Garnier) and because my hair isn't so dry it isn't as apt to fall out. I'm not sure if the shampoo is helping, but I like the silky feel and lack of dryness.
Well, I hoped I helped fellow mothers out there. I feel so much better about myself, and my home now that it's not covered in ewww, my hair.
