Hair shedding slowdown

[ringstrue]

I noticed it taper off like 6.5 or 7 months?

[Velar Fricative]

It tapered off around 6 months pp for me.

[WillabyWallabyWu]

I started shedding at 5 months and it tapered down around 8 months. But I have VERY little hair to begin with, so it was the worst my hair has ever looked. I looked sickly.

[Ashley&Scott]

Around 7mo pp IIRC.

[anna7602]

7 months or so.

DD is 8 months and I'm still shedding, so...

I'm terrified for this to start. My hair shed so much before that to be even worse will be ridiculous.

I've barely lost any hair since I was 28 weeks-ish, so I know it's going to be bad:(

[VillainV]

My hair shed a lot from 5-8ish months, then slowed way down.

[robyn]

Mine started right at 3 months and has tapered off in the last month, so at about 8 months.

[magpie]

I feel like it started to slow down at 6 or 7 months and maybe fully got back to normal at 1 year.

I think around 6-7 months. I lost a lot and didn't have a ton to begin with. I wish it would grow back more quickly - it's gotten sparse around my part when I style it certain ways.

[soozy87]

It stopped when I got pregnant again.

[linz]

Around 6 months it slowed down but at almost 7 months it's still going more then before.

I shed a lot 4-6 months pp. Now I'm dealing with the aftermath in the form of out-of-control wispies. Sigh.

[darnkatz]

24 months PP (lolz) and I'm still shedding like a dog.

[pennylane]

I hope it ends soon. Cleaning a fistful of hair out of the shower drain and another out of my hairbrush everyday is getting old. It started shedding around 3 months and has gotten worse. My hair is long and it looks terrible, but I don't want to chop it off.

I have a ton of hair and have been shedding like a cat in the spring.  I discovered a ring of hair around my chair mat at work on Friday.  There are blobs in my car.  We got a neato robot vacuum, so H is cutting my hair out of that once a week or so.

The vacuum is nothing. Wait until the shower drain needs to be cleared. Disgusting.

yes!! For 4 months I had a literal halo of wispies all over my head. It was the strangest thing for me. And my hair is seriously thin, so you could see the wispies all throughout, not just on top.

[lo]

Started around 4 months and ended around 7ish I think.

[momin2013]

Around 6-7 months. I didn't chop it off, but got a nice trim around that time and that made a big difference in how it looked, too. The thing that was weirdest for me was the wispy hairline as it grew back in.

[timorousbeastie]

I shed like crazy from 3 months to 12 months pp. I'm still shedding some, but it's been so long that I don't remember if this is what the normal was before pregnancy or not.

I plaster it to the wall and gather it with toilet paper every other shower or so to minimize the drain issues.  Feel sorry for my H.

I do the same thing. I try to hide it when my H comes in the bathroom (we have a clear glass shower door.)

Also, our maid cleans out the shower drain 2x/month. God bless her.

[felicity]

5 months pp too and still going strong. I have one of those hair catchers in the shower and it looks like a small animal died in there whenever I wash my hair.

My house has hair tumbleweeds. Combination of hair loss and never having time to vacuum anymore lol.

[pinotgrig]

I didn't notice shedding until like 5 o 6 months, I think. It's still going and is so bad. When G crawls around in our bathroom (where I blow dry my hair), I always have to pick chunks of hair off him. :/

[undecidedowl]

I'm 6 months PP and it's still going like crazy.

I don't remember when it stopped with my first. I think it just gradually slowed down so I didn't notice it so much. I also got my hair cut shorter which made it easier to deal with.
