Hairum Scarum

For the past three weeks my hair has been falling out. It's everywhere! I'm constantly picking hairs off baby and sweeping up dusty hairballs. After hubby picked out a few from dinner the other night, I started wearing a headscarf around the house. I'm now wearing it out and about as well, since I've gone extremely thin on the top. It is upsetting. I have read that some hair loss is normal 3-4 months after giving birth, but I think my case is a little more extreme. The doctor prescribed Zinc & B6 but it doesn't seem to be slowing down the shedding. Every time I run my hand through my hair, 4-5 hairs come out. I really hope it all grows back, even though it's bound to take months.

I have an appointment with a dermatologist next week which I hope will allay my fears about my hair staying this way. While I'm still at home with baby it's not too much of a problem, but I will need to start job-hunting in 2 months time and I don't think bandanas will give the right impression at a job interview. I've been debating whether or not to try wearing a wig until my hair grows back. There are some gorgeous ones out there that would probably look better than my own hair (which always curled the wrong way even when I had a head-full!), but I'm not sure how I'd explain the change from a fabulous wig back to my normal hair (or vice-versa).

If anyone has any tips, advice, experience of after-birth hair loss or wearing a wig, drop me line!
