Help! I'm 20 and my hair is falling out. what do I do?

I know hair is supposed to fall out some everyday. But the amount mine is falling out is more than it should be. I feel like I'm going bald.. heh.. surprised I'm not already. I just had a baby 3 months ago %26amp; I breastfeed. Someone said that might have something to do with it. I try to make sure I eat well (most of the time). I take biotin %26amp; do everything I know to do and it still keeps falling out. I've never even died or permed my hair. Does anyone use Nioxin products? Do they work? Any other ideas how to make it stop falling out so much %26amp; grow back? Oh yeah, it breaks pretty easy too. Even if I brush it properly and avoid things like ponytails and such. Ahh.. I feel awful. help!

Ah, welcome to the club! My baby is 5 months old and for the past two I have lost gobs of hair every time I shower or comb it. Since this is my second baby, I knew to expect it this time! It is normal, and you are not going bald. When you are pregnant, you lose less hair than normal so your body eventually catches up as your hormones change. It takes a little while but it will slow down eventually. In the meanwhile, install a trap on your tub so you don't get clogged drains--I learned that the hard way!

p.s. Keep breastfeeding, stopping won't change it! :)

That's pretty normal right after having a baby. Don't worry about it. Seriously. Take a vitamin with Iron. Theres a whole new research thing on the internet that says that low iron causes baldness. Your multivit during pregnancy had iron in it, if you kept taking your prenates during breastfeeding- youre supposed to- then you might see a change. Make sure you have enough calcium too - breastfeeding. See a nutritionist and eat healthy, drink lots of water, all during breastfeeding- your hair will be fine, it will start to grow differently, but it will be fine %26amp; come back. Don't worry about it.Nioxin might not be safe during breastfeeding and it stops working when you stop using it- if it works at all.

i've never used personally used Nioxin, but i know it does work. but as someone said before me, i don't know if it is all that safe to use while your breastfeading... it should say on the box, but i would double check with your pediatrision first.. if you try to get a trim regularly that will help prevent it from breaking. another thing is don't wash it with shampoo everyday, it is NOT a must, just use a little conditioner and your good to go!!!!

if it has only started due to having your baby, then tht is the reason. it will have something to do with your vitamins and what your eating. hair loss is common with breastfeeding and after pregnancy, try taking vitamins that are safe to use whilst breastfeeding, if you are still worried about it or it gets worse there are three people that you can go to see about it

1. doctor

2. hairdresser

3. trichologist - specialist with hair and scalp

I don't know if Nixon works because I never used it before.But what you can use is Marc's Lano-Lustre special hair growth and beauty aid.My friends hair was falling out once and I recommend her to use it and her hair grew even longer than it was before.I even uses it for my hair and my hair is long now.Another thing is you shouldn't brush your hair alot or to hard that can cause your hair from falling out too.Plus you just had a baby too.
