As if I didn’t have enough hair problems to begin with (I have thick, frizzy, curly, long hair), more issues started when I became pregnant. Personally I used to love shedding… I just have too much hair (I know, first world problems). \u00a0However, once I became pregnant, my hair stopped shedding. \u00a0While it’s completely normal, I wasn’t thrilled about the fact that all of my hair elastics kept breaking every time I tried pulling my big, lion mane hair back. Post partum, my hair started falling out again (YAY) but I had new baby hair growing on my forehead that I wasn’t a big fan of. No matter what style I tried, I felt like I looked ridiculous. \u00a0Alas, it’s all part of the process of giving life, and luckily, it’s only short-term. If you want, you can always resort to head coverings such as the hd lace wigs human hair<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, you might be wondering what is considered normal and what isn’t when it comes to hair loss or hair growth during pregnancy and post partum.<\/p>\n

My baby hair 6 months post partum<\/p><\/div>\n

Alex, from She Speaks Hair<\/a>, a mobile hair salon,\u00a0says that what may feel like a worrying amount of hair loss, is in reality your hair going back to a normal cycle of production and loss.\u00a0In fact, did you know that it can take up to 6 months after giving birth for your hormone levels to\u00a0regulate? Bottom line? Be patient, eat well, get your hair blow dried often (as if you needed an excuse), brush often and see your Doctor if you’re at all concerned that you might be anemic.<\/p>\n

Alex also has a great article<\/a> on her blog about whether the baby hair you’re noticing is due to hair breakage\u00a0or re-growth.<\/p>\n

I recently met with Alex from She Speaks Hair. \u00a0I realized that it was over a year since I’ve had my hair cut and I was counting down the days until she came over to my house. \u00a0Yes, Alex does house calls, which is pretty much ideal if you’re a busy parent (which is all parents). \u00a0Not only did she save me time, which I’m lacking these days, her rates are very reasonable. She brings all of the equipment, including extension cords and a throw-away mat. It was such a nice treat. The best part is that you can do it when your kids are at home. Truly, there’s no reason for me to not have my hair cut or styled more often.<\/p>\n

\"My

My new ‘do thank to She Speaks Hair<\/p><\/div>\n

Alex also has a great YouTube channel<\/a> where she shares some of her great tips on hair styling and techniques. Check it out if you’re looking to make some changes to your hair this Fall. I also highly recommend these dallas tape in extensions<\/a> if you want to cover a bad haircut. I know that now since my hair is freshly cut and thinned out, I love flat ironing often, almost daily. If you have natural dreadlocks, consider using hair products for locs<\/a> to keep them healthy.<\/p>\n
