Trimming and Shedding

It's been almost 3 months since I gave birth to SweetPea and my hair has begun to shed. Every night I have handfuls of hair in my comb and on the bathroom floor. There wasn't much time to prepare for this since I assumed post partum shedding wouldn't occur until I stopped breastfeeding. At least that's what happened last time around.



Anywhooo.....I dusted my ends last night and the tangles seem to have improved. At least I don't feel like I'm ripping hair out and exacerbating the shedding situation. Focusing on moisture and detangling is key for me now. I can't do a darn thing about the shedding. But I can baby the hair that sticks around.

I have postpartum shedding too so this is encouraging. Your hair is pretty! What's your pp hair regimen? Are you upping your DCs or anything like that?

You know I've been lazy about the shedding. But now that I've endured for 6 weeks or so I'm finally motivated to stop it! I'll be doing Dc's 2 or 3 times a week for the foreseeable future. No heat either. It just makes my ends feel brittle anyway.
