Do you think there is a correlation between postpartum hair loss and weight loss?

Momma Mia! asked:


I had a baby 4.5 months ago and am exclusively breastfeeding. Just recently my hair began to fall out big time and my weight has also been coming off more easily. I realize that the hair loss is normal, but I’m wondering if there is a correlation between the two. Perhaps the hair loss signals that the pregnancy hormones are out of our system which in turn lets our bodies know that we don’t need the weight anymore. What do you think?

How do I get hair loss checked without insurance?

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008
2ndOpinion asked:


Is there a way I can get some hair loss checked without health coverage? By doing some research, it looks like I’d have to consult with a dermatologist. I basically want to see whether it’s hereditary or some other health condition, and what my options are to treat it.

I know I’d probably have to end up paying out of pocket, but what would be the ideal way of seeking help?

What can I do about rapid hair loss and dandruff?

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008
bubblegum39 asked:


I’m only 14, and I used to have shiny, healthy hair. Somewhere along puberty I got severe dandruff which just wouldn’t go away regardless of whatever shampoo and medication I tried. With the dandruff came greasy hair and slight hair loss, but it wasn’t too bad. Somehow the dandruff and greasiness went away, but the rate of hair loss increased rapidly.

I still look OK because my hair is quite thick, but the amount of hair on my bedroom floor is really scary. What could have brought on the sudden hair loss? Is there anything I can do about it?
