hi
after pregnancy my hairs are lossing in high quantity. every time i
touch my hairs with hands they come in my hands. before pregnancy they
were good.i have straight and black hairs. but now they are thin and
lossing.i changed my shampoo too as all beautisions said that "nioxin"
is best for hair loss. i do use conditioner and hair strength
conditioner which is also nioxin. but it doesn't control lossing. i'm
breast feeding my baby.
i need a advice to control my hair loss.
thanks in advance


Have your doctor run a thyroid screen if the hair loss doesn't stop or slow
down after a reasonable amount of time. Pregnancy affects the thyroid
levels, sometimes permanently. I've been hypothyroid (low thyroid) for over
a decade and currently I have to take a higher dose of Synthroid than before
I was pregnant.
