Hi Dave, nice to be here! And what a nice compliment coming from you, your hair is so fine! And I do mean fine!!
HFO, thank you so much! I like my color, I always take my hair pictures outside in natural sunlight, my hair comes out looking darker with indoor pictures. Your hair is sooooo shiny, and what a pretty updo!
Torrie, what a traumatic hair experience, I'm so sorry that happened to you. But learning to love yourself is the best lesson, good for you for picking it up so young -- never forget it! And your hair grows quite fast, mine only grew 4 inches in the last year, you are way ahead of me! In no time you will pass me by!
Oh, and I just noticed today is my one-year anniversary here

How long was it to start off with and how long is it now? If you want mocha brown then Rini is the best one to ask as she's the henna expert and it doesn't damage.
Elyce, your hair is awesome! I'm so jealous of your colour. You hardly ever see as light a natural blonde!

Torrie, cheer up! Your hair will grow back, and it will be in such great condition after your cut! Now you will know how to take good care of your hair, the new growth will give you a fresh start and you will keep it looking lovely!
All of us are here to grow, so you're in good company. And there will be lots of interesting lengths along the way. There are some cute hairstyles for shorter hair that I miss!
So have fun with it, stay tuned in here to keep learning great hair care, and enjoy each length as you travel the long hair path ~

Anais, your Medusa's Lair is the very first site I found when I got interested in hair care, your advice has meant so much to me! Look at the change in my hair!
Glad you like that recipe link, thanks for saying so. The APA link you shared was very interesting, and lots about hair, not just pregnancy.
Have learned so much from your website, your thoughts are wise and interesting, and your hair is SO AWESOME (yes, shouting!!) Appreciate all your posts here as well.
Thanks for sharing!

is a great one, a 'bookmark' or 'save in favorites' indeed! Thanks, Elyce!
For your hair shedding, it is quite normal following childbirth. The following paragraphs are from the American Pregnancy Association. As your baby is three months old, you may find it rather interesting they seem to be referring to you, Mom.
Why do people talk about hair loss and pregnancy?
The most common period of hair loss related to pregnancy occurs approximately three months after delivery.
The rise in hormones during pregnancy, keeps hair that would have normally fallen out. After delivery, the hormones return to normal levels, which allows the hair to fall out and return to the normal cycle. Unfortunately, the normal hair loss that had been delayed because of pregnancy tends to all fall out at the same time.
Up to 60% of your hair that is in the growth state may enter into the telogen resting state. The hair loss you may experience could worsen over the next four months and persist for several more as your hair follicles rejuvenate themselves. As noted before, this hair loss is temporary. Hair loss is usually replaced within six to twelve months.
...end of quote from American Pregnancy Association. I haven't been pregnant in many years, but I found the following link to be a wealth of information:
Hi and welcome, and congratulations on your new little one.
Just wanted to say, I also lost tons of hair after each childbirth. For a while I thought I was going bald, but got so busy with the baby and other stuff, don't recall how long it took, but my hair eventually became even thicker than before kids.
Also, I STILL take prenatal vitamins and my "baby" is 7!
If you google hair recipes or some variation of that, you will probably come up with lots of links. I have seen many, but only have this one handy at the moment:
Looks like it has many good ideas, I haven't tried any, if you do, write back and let us know!
Welcome again, and I hope some of this is helpful!
ETA - would love to see a pic of your hair -- you can post a pic in your replies if you open an account at www.photobucket.com, it is free, then upload the pic you want to use to that site. After it transfers, your pic will appear with the name you gave it, then three lines of text. Click on the last line (it starts [IMG]), copy the text, and just insert that text at the bottom of your reply. There are other ways, but this works for me. Click on "preview post" to check that it worked.
Hair falling out after a baby is pretty coomon. For a lot of people
hair will grow faster during pregnancy and then have increased shedding
after. It's just the body trying to balance itself out.
I might have some articles of interest to you.
angelfire.com/mi/bbubba/LHC/Articles.html
I have some related to trimming. You can also find the link to Feye's
site with her self trimming instructions. Even if you are afraid of
doing it yourself, you can try doing just a small trim with her
methods. Hundreds of people have tried her methods and only a few
didn't like them.
My hair fell out by the handful after each of my kids was born, which was especially depressing after how thick and full it felt during pregnancy. And then of course I had a ton of baby-fine hairs growing back in to replenish what had fallen out. All in all, post-pregnancy was not a good hair era for me. But the good news is that your body will eventually equilibrate. And keep taking prenatal vitamins (if you're not already) -- they really helped my system recover everything that pregnancy and nursing drained out of it.
And as long as I'm giving unsolicited advice... Don't let anyone talk you into cutting your hair off because it will be "easier" with a baby. It's a fallacy, and one which I bought into and regretted instantly. I would be much further along on my hair goals by now if I'd just listened to my own feelings on the issue.
Congrats on your new baby! Motherhood is a blast!
