My hair starts falling out around the 4 month mark as well. Our youngest is now 18 months and I feel like it FINALLY looks better. There is so much that our bodies go through we really need to just give ourselves grace, we made humans! It will all even out at some point. You look great!
To put things in perspective my mom is losing her hair because she is going through chemo! It will come back better and stronger, don’t even stress it! 💞 you made perfect babies! 🙌🏼
I think you would look great with warmer dark brown hair 🙊 and before you go clothes shopping, maybe do a colour season consultation (and record it!) so you buy clothes in colours that make you glow! You'll feel great 🙊
As a mom 7 months postpartum, I've been doing through the postpartum re-identity process with hair and wardrobe. So excited for the glow-up videos!
My PP hair loss started at 4 months too! Am I the only one that I doesnt believe there are products that can 'help'..🤔 Just time for your body to do what it needs to do.
I don't think any products can help, you are not alone.
I agree, i think it's completely hormone related, so no topical product would help that! Just time to balance itself out
I can completely relate to this... I felt as if I looked the "ugliest" I've ever looked after giving birth. It really made me feel bad about myself and really effected my self-esteem.
You Still Look Great Nikole! You Created Life TWICE! :)
Aw thank you ☺️
I totally understand the identity crisis and rediscovering the style. I am going through the same. Thank you so much for sharing! I now know I am not alone.
So sorry to hear. You still look as beautiful as ever. ❤
I'm sorry about how you're feeling about your hair loss, but thank you for sharing as I'm also going through it at the moment and am not liking the way it looks, especially when I put my hair up in a ponytail! I think I also started losing hair around the same spots as you around the 3-4 months mark. I don't have any tips to share, just trying to wash and dry gently (no heat) and wait for time to do its job :) And don't worry too much, you look amazing!
always so happy when each of your vlogs come out ! DEFINITELY resonating with the wardrobe change after having a baby ! so strange how it's not even about our bodies so much as a MENTAL shift where we just don't feel those outfits anymore and have a need to start fresh :)) your OOTD in this video is adorable ! thanks for being genuine and relatable.
Congratulations on this video Nikole ❤❤❤❤❤
This video was perfect timing for me! My hair has just started falling out in chunks and I’m right at the 4 month mark postpartum…the same happened with my first. It’s not a fun time. I relate to so much of what you said. Glad I’m not the only one💜
Same same same!!! I’m 4 months PP and holy cannoli I can make a wig out of the hair I am losing!!!! You’re absolutely right away losing ourselves, I’m still trying to find myself but I am so proud of me and my baby boy
I’m sorry about that. I hope your beautiful hair grows back!
So glad someone I know is talking about it ( I mean you, have followed you since you were pregnant with Sage and I was pregnant with my first too, feels like I know you) because nobody know has ever talked about it as I experience it, its traumatising, its sad, its a part of me Im loosing, I do feel very emotional about it. What Im doing, haircut, vitamins, specially Vit B. Happy healthy Hair back soon for all awsome mamas ❤❤❤
We’ve grown our babies and lost hair together 🤍 yes the haircut feels so good.
I felt this so much!!! Lol My hair is also growing back now and it’s so funny lol. Trying to find myself as this new version as well! You naileddddd it!
Aww dear mama, thank you for always being so open and vulnerable xx. Definitely feeling the sweat pant phase (7weeks pp). As for hair loss - of course check with your practitoner but low stomach acid, or deficiencies in b vitamins and zinc can be a culprit (among the hormone chaos 😂). Fatty acids, b complex, pumpkin seeds can be a few things to check about. All the love ( nutritionist & nurse specializing in womens health)
Looking forward to the capsule wardrobe! I’m 4 months pp now and in need of some wardrobe updates. I feel you on the hair loss too 😅
Wishing you and all the Mummas here a very Happy Mother's Day on this Sunday 12th May.
Nikole its your first Mothers Day as a Mum of 2, hoping its twice as nice. 💐
Wow this video couldn’t have come at a better time for me! My son is just over 4 months old and I’m dealing with major hair loss. I totally agree that with each child, the hair loss is worse (this is my 3rd baby). Going to try your tips! Thanks for reminding me I’m not alone in this 😊
Omgosh Oakely is so big now! You're doing a great job.
Thank you for talking about this. I am just over a year postpartum and putting my hair back is soooo frustrating with all the flyaways sticking up near my temples. Makes me feel insecure so this video is what I needed.
You are so welcome 🤍
The transition from the beat boxing beet toy to the background music during the gym scene 👌🏼
Your hair still looks great to me!!
I lost hair during my first trimester and during PP too. Few things that helped me - supplements, no chemical treatments, no heat (unless absolutely needed) I always like to let me hair air dry, and oiling plus using flax seed + fenugreek seed homemade hair mask.
You look beautiful as always ♥️ give it time.. what about using rosemary drops?
Nettle leaf!!! I just had a little guy same time as you and honestly my hair was coming out by the handfuls. I watched a doctor Berg video and he mentioned it. I got the extract off of Amazon. Add it to my morning water and saw results right away. Definitely worth trying. It worked for me. It’s not expensive either.
Omg I need that new serum!!!
The texture and how it’s sinks in is unreal
I am 5 months postpartum and just like clockwork I knew it would hit right at 4 months (with my first baby it was even more terrifying). And WHAM!! Just shedding that does not end. Fortunately I started upping my gelatin and omega fats, but not in a casual way. I went ALL IN with a high quality fish oil, coconut oil in and on everything and scoops of beef gelatin in my smoothies oats etc. It has helped so much. I am still getting the shedding, but its nowhere near how severe it was with baby #1. And as an unexpected added benefit, my gut health has improved so much. Hope this helps.... Love love love your channel for years now...
I had no idea how much my confidence and body image were tied to my hair until it started falling out postpartum. I don’t think any of the gimmicky remedies I tried actually worked. Rather, I think getting PLENTY of water and protein helped. If I could go back in time, I wouldn’t have been so hard on myself with trying to be so easy on my hair. I went through a point where I was only showering a couple of time a week because I was so scared of the hair fall and like you said, I just couldn’t deal with it emotionally. I’m almost 2 years postpartum now and I still have *tons* of baby bangs growing in, but my hair finally looks almost presentable again. So much of it is just that time has to pass and you don’t have any control over that! It’s so hard to accept that though.
Also on buying new clothes - I went out and got a whole new wardrobe at about 6 months postpartum, thinking my weight had plateaued and that was just my new body. Nope! Ended up losing quite a bit more weight after that and needed all new clothes again. I just remember thinking “man it’s been so long already - surely this is my new body” 😂 all of those intermediate clothes went to charity a few months ago.
It’s like just being in limbo for two years! All worth it in the end of course, but I wish people talked more about these unglamorous bits. I had no idea what I was in for!
My hair is currently shedding/falling out from hormones being off. My advice, don't brush it when it's wet. Your hair is super sensitive when it's when and you could be pulling on it and not know it.
You look amazing mama! ❤
Awwww Oakley is soooooo cute!
I know I can’t get over his cuteness
Thank you for another great video! Do you have a link for the adorable veggie apron bib?
Yesssss! PP Hairloss is the worst! I vividly remember that I thought I was going to end up bald! One thing that I didn't do after birth was to continue my prenatal vitamins & a lot of people told me how it is helping with hairloss. Thereafter I opted my Collagen intake and it improved a lot!
Found out that I'm pregnant again when our first was 16 months old & in both pregnancies I am experiencing Hairloss DURING my pregnancy, especially the first trimester. It is normal, just not such a common symptom. Also added Mint & Rosemary oil to my hair routine now & will increase the Collagen again, but yess it is definitely tough & take SO long to grow back again xx Much love 💖💖
Mielle rosemary oil works wonders!! It really has helped my hair grow in thicker and fuller!
That beet box toy is too cute. I’ll keep that mind for future kids gifts!
37 weeks pregnancy with my second and I already want the post baby transformation. I’m so ready! After my first, I was lucky and my hair thinned a lot but I didn’t have the fall out around my forehead like so many women. Fingers crossed I’m as lucky this time.
Omgosh I love his Bib! Where is it from?!
I’m 6 months PP and I’m using Saje Peppermint Halo to help with the hair loss! (I put it on my roots when baby goes to bed)
I feel that! After my second the thinning/loss was intense to witness. I think especially because I had my kids 15M apart. I swear by pure Rosemary oil! I used it before I had kids for minor alopecia, and I am literally witnessing new hair grow in spots I put on. In a few months! I apply it every hair wash day now. I totally recommend it. 😊
What make is sages water bottle the pink one, please, is it spillage proof
Our sons are the exact same age and the pp hair loss is real. Every time I brush my hair I want to cry.
Where did you get that ezpz plate that Oakley is using? I can't find that on the Canadian site for ezpz
What is the name of your dry shampoo?
My hair started to fall out in chunk about 4 months postpartum as well especially in the shower and I’ve been using this product by Act+care it’s a stem cell serum you apply after every shower and Ive gotten so many new baby hairs growing in now, it really has been a game changer. It is pretty pricey but it’s so so worth it!
I started losing A LOT of hair at 3-4 months post partum, and felt a bit off, so I checked my thyroid and it showed I had gotten post partum thyreoditis (hyper thyriosis) which probably was one of the reasons for the major hair loss. Hoping it will heal out by itself which it does in most of the cases
I'm 2 years postpartum and I still have a lot of hairloss to the point I forgot that this is 'normal'? I'm assuming it will stop after breastfeeding. Definitely in the same phase that I need a whole new wardrobe.❤ Good to know in advance that identity crisis /matresence happens even after a second baby.
My hair fell out 3 times!!! Just stopped nursing after 2 years & 8 months, and it is finally growing back for the third time 😂🫠
I’m 5 months postpartum with my 2nd &I have lost SO much hair!! Literally falling out in handfuls almost 🤦🏼♀️
Divi + Mary Ruth hair growth multivitamin! The liquid one
My hair started falling out too. No one told me that was a side effect and it really threw me for a loop. My baby is a year now and my hair is starting to grow back in the front just like you 🥹
The hair loss was hard for me too... I thought it will never grow back because it was so much. Now, at 8 months postpartum, i think it's back to normal: density, not falling etc, but I have a lot of small hair.
Love your videos! I was experiencing so much hair loss postpartum I was afraid to even touch my hair sometimes and was embarrassed to put it in a ponytail for a while but a friend heard me talking about it and shared this collagen product from a company called Modere. It’s the Liquid Biocell Life. And even though it’s not advertised for hair loss recovery, my hair grew back sooooo well after taking this product. I noticed a difference after like a month of taking it. I highly recommend it!
4 months postpartum here. Yes, I’m loosing my hair as well (which I don’t mind because I know it’s normal) BUT! You better brash your hair without worrying because hair that must go will go ANYWAY. By slowing down this process you pretty much slowing down the process of having your hair back. Your new hair need space and energy to grow and it’s harder when it’s a bunch of already half dead half alive hair on your head.
Btw, I started to loose my hair being 2 moths postpartum and yes ITS A LOT OF THEM. But I’m treating it like skin flaking after a good peel, not flattening but refreshing.
I lost hair post partum for both kids also. It grew back but never really in the temple regions. Now I’m 48 and going through peri menopause and losing hair all over agin 😭😭 something though that is working for me (I’m on third month) is taking Complement Essentials multivitamin. Not joking, loss has stopped and it’s growing black. Have all these short hairs now growing back in! Maybe try it out?
I’m at my 3mth postpartum, my hair loss is crazy, so agree that second pregnancy hair loss is so much worse than the first one😢 have you try Glow Gorgeous hair serum? also the one call woman Regain, which contains 5% minoxidil in it as active ingredient. They are worth for trying 😎
I don’t think you can use regain breastfeeding right?
@@HealthNutNutrition oh yes, sorry forgot that you are breastfeeding😅 but the grow gorgeous one is safe for use~ but still read through the product information sheet☺️
I lost like half of my hair or more, it was so thin, and the hair colour also changed. I have or had not sure now haha a light reddish shade of brown, like chestnut colour, it was growing darker and not red anymore. my daughter is 24 mo and it still not the same, the colour is back, but its dry, the hair in some parts are still not full
I lose more hair than this normally and now I'm scared of postpartum 😢 how do I mentally prepare?
It was hard! Made me feel masculine, to be honest. Same hair loss again now in early menopause at 42
I'm 5 months PP and my hair has been falling out since about the 4 month mark too. It's so triggering to see it just falling out, hair is going EVERYWHERE. This is my second baby so I know that it will stop and grow back in eventually but yeah, no, this part sucks. I feel like my hair just looks flat and thin and dull.
Months 4-6 with a baby are SO HARD!! 4 month leaps, regressions, new skills, longer wake windows - I am currently having to do 2-3 overnight feeds just because my girl is honestly SO hungry, and I doubt it will improve until she starts solids next month and mama is tired.
This is exactly what I’m experiencing almost word for word!
@@hannahlawrence8973 🫂 mama, you're not alone!
Even the regrowth stage is hard. My little one is 19 months and the baby hairs that I have, just feels constantly hard to style. Nothing quite holds them in place either - feels like a mum mullet 😂🤦♀️
I highly recommend the Nutrafol Postpartum pills for the hair (Hair Growth Nutraceutical).
My hair loss started at 3 months and it’s depressing 😢 also i’ve worn only tights and t-shirts since she was born…
Sleeping through the night 😩 will we ever get there??
type 1 liquid collagen and scalp scrub/calrifying shampoo has made my hair from ultra fine and thin to making my sisters that have the same hair I did be jealous of my hair. It’s so thick I’m not used it, I used to have 5 strands of hair and put a towel on my head when I was little to mimic having hair..
Marc Anthony grow long scalp scrub clarifying shampoo and Tranont Type 1 liquid collagen. For reference.
I would love to try, but so expensive
As a beauty therapist I feel like your skin may be more on the dry side , I would not recommend a clay mask for you I would use a mask that adds oil such as rosehip oil and twice a week you could use a loofah glove then use your hyaluronic acid . At night you could mix organic rose hip oil with some inexpensive sukin day cream . It will save you heaps OF MONEY too. The beauty industry trys to make us think we need lots of different things on our face lol. A good all over body cream that I use is unrefined Shea Butter that I buy from a wholesaler. You look beautiful and if you use castor oil on your hair sometimes and wrap it you will see your hair come back. I really enjoy watching your mum tips .
My hair with my 3rd is still coming out like crazy and he’s 14 months. I feel sooooo insecure about it cause I feel so bald. lol I’m not because I have very thick hair but the frizz in the front is the worst. In the shower I feel like I produce an animal with hair fall out. 🤦🏻♀️
Omg he is so cute! He could be a baby on those Gerber commercials
🥹
Hang in there. You are beautiful.
I literally cut all my hair out when my son was 6 months old this because the hair loss was too sad for me. He’s 16 months and I’m starting to grow my hair back long
This is why moms have short hair I guess 🙃
Your robe is so pretty, where is It from ?
Thank you! Target they have the best robes
My hair all grew back grey 😩 36 weeks with baby number 2 so I'm sure I'll be fully grey this time next year😅
My secret for dealing with pp hair loss… stomp giving a f*ck. Really I just couldn’t. You’re right 4 months is a hard time. The new baby support is all gone everyone expects you to be back to normal. I ran out of leave and had to go back to work and it was just exhausting and I just couldn’t care. I put my hair up and showed off my bald spots and just rocked it. Didn’t even think about it and the phase like all parenting phases passed quickly.
I have the identity crisis right now of being pregnant and so much bigger with my second. I want to wear cute clothes that’ll boost my confidence, but truly everything is so uncomfortable and doesn’t fit as my body changes throughout the day - leggings and biker shorts it is, I guess!
Its interesting this PP hairloss, l had none with my last and she was a C-section whereas l did experience mild PP loss with a vaginal unmedicated delivery. 🤔
its sooo awful and my hair was thin and fine to begin with. I just googled it and it said it last usually till your baby is 1 years old. OMG, i was hoping it was almost over..😪😪
Hair loss is no joke, vitamins are the solution for me. Biotin, collagen, vitamin E
The Ritual Postnatal helped to calm down my postpartum hair loss and also made my nails strong again!
I’m still taking my prenatal
How does everyone wash those silicone bags effectively? They are driving me crazy 😅
I don't know how moms know exactly what time they kids got up and went back and exactly how many times they got up ect ....is that all mums with babies? Like do you all know exact times ect ....coz thats so incredible.....I would never be able to keep such track
I look at the time otherwise I wouldn’t never know what day or month it was 😅
I have pretty fine, oily hair but during my pregnancies my hair and skin was…wow! So different, healthy and glowy! That’s one of the reasons I want to get pregnant again 😂 it was such a nice break from having to wash my every other day 🤭
I feel you! My hair was so good never oily either. I could go easily a week without washing it and it still looked perfect 😆
My baby is 4 months and I’ve lost so much hair 😫😫.
Thank you so much for continuing to be so transparent about post partum phases. The hair loss has had me crying in the shower so much lately.
Fun fact when you're pregnant your hair all gets on the same growing phase that's why it all falls out at the same time. There is a product I've been using called zenagen that works with your hormones rather Is then a topical medication that will help your hair grow back and once you stop using it you won't lose the hair that's already grown back
❤😊
Suffered from the same problem twice. My recommendation would be not to wear a towel on your head for so long (10 minutes max).
You look amazing Nikole, don’t ever doubt that! I went through a hair loss phase about 6 months ago, I can confidently say I am on the upside of things now. I worked with my doctor to increase my Vitamin D intake, took a collagen supplement, took a biotin supplement, and used a scalp massager to work my hair growth shampoo (Andalou Naturals) in. All of these in combination helped a ton and my hair is not only growing back but so strong now too! I pray your hair stops falling and grows rapidly! 🙏🏼❤️😊
Girl, where you have those tiny little hair growing back is exactly where my 2 giant bald spots are on each side of my temples. I would kill to have the tiny hair you have growing back. Mine look like the follicles have died and there is nothing growing back. So yeah...fun times 🤦🏽
Ugh sorry to hear! Try the hair massager tool with the rosemary oil. If you follow their IG account there are so many success stories
My hair falling out 10000x more than it did with my first. So today I chopped it all off. So over it lolll
What is the natural dry shampoo powder??
Linked in the info box!
My hair fell out with both my boys but came back
Mines finally growing in and slowing down with the fall out but wow it’s intense
My recommendation: denial 😂
Haha yes our water is always better than theirs ...
😆
Maybe you need iron
I have been putting off getting a haircut because of the hairloss. I feel too embarrased to let the hairdresser wash my hair. 🫣 Also, I have been gaining a bit of weight because I comfort eat. I barely have any me time so having a yummy snack is the next best thing. 😂
