going back to pre-p hair

[musiclady]

Ok. I have really long hair- nearly to my brastrap. anyone who has had long hair know what a : it is in the shower. constant shedding, cleaning the drain, pulling hair out of your crack- sorry tmi, hair everywhere- laundry- even on lilah's blankets and pj's! i am obsessive about it.

i absolutely loved that while i was preg, my hair didn't shed hardly at all. i'm on my second PPAF now and it is coming out with a vengance. not like female pattern baldness coming out- more like shedding.

how annoying. it makes me want to go get it cut off.

I know your pain, and I'm sure i'll be there soon. Only my hair hits the top of my sacrum

I keep my hair long for dancing (competitive ballroom dancing if I can find a partner!), the post partum shredding hasn't hit yet, but it will soon and I'll not be enjoying clearing out the plug hole!

YES!! That is the worst. I have found that it's soooo gross, even though it's mine. What I do is use a regular pencil to "grab" it and then a tissue to get it off. Seems to work well. It's still gross. Blech.

Why doesn't your hair shed so badly when you're preggo?
