Hello everyone! I am going through some MAJOR shedding...I had a baby (she's 17 months now) and I went through the typical post baby shed when she was about 6 months old. But now I'm losing it by the handfuls again...and I don't know whats going on... :( Im going to the doctor on the 14th for a physical so hopefully they will do some bloodwork and check my thyroid...just wondering if you all had any suggestions for preventing the shedding! Thanks so much! Robyn

Some people have luck with odorless GARLIC supplements and garlic conditions and shampoos.

I hope everything will be ok, and that the Dr. can fix it if it isn't. But, handfuls of hair doesn't sound good at all. My first thought was a thyroid problem though so maybe you are just lacking in some mineral that contributes to thyroid function. Possibly depleted during and after your pregnancy. Kelp and seaweed help with thyroid, but I haven't really researched them in regards to hair health.

Good luck with the Dr. <3
