Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

...and Hair Again.

While pregnant, women have a higher level of estrogen therefore less normal hair shedding occurs and hair appears to be thicker. Read more here.

During my pregnancy I noticed my hair grew faster and was thick and curly.
I had: a head with hair, long beautiful hair. Shining, gleaming, streaming, flaxen, waxen. Give me down to there hair. Shoulder lenght or longer. Here baby, there momma, everywhere daddy, daddy.
Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair.

I really loved my hair.

My luxurious hair pre shedding (August 2010)

I had read and heard that after you have the baby hair starts falling out. Well, critter arrived and I still had a nice full head of hair.......UNTIL he was 3 months old, and then BAM! Clumps of my curls were coming off my head. I hated showering cause I'd get a handfuls of hair that I tearfully watched disappear down the drain.
I lost so much hair I looked like I had a receding hairline at my temples. I'm really not a vain person but WTF!

Well, it does grow back but it takes its sweet time. The hair at my temples is about an inch long now. When my hair is down, it's not noticeable and I can blend it in, but when my hair is up WHOA! No amount of gel is helping my new look. I have devil horns!
