Aren’t they gorgeous?
Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow Sunday, May 20, 2007
It’s started. The post-baby hair loss.
I thought it happened when one finished breast feeding. I was wrong. I read recently that it happens at some point after the baby is born. It might 3 months. Or six months. Just any time it damn well feels like falling out. And mine feels like it now.
If last time is anything to go on, some time in the next couple of weeks I’ll start to look like I’m going bald. That’s when I’ll get my hair cut short. It’ll have to stay short for a few months until the regrowth gets past the point where it sticks up like a brush.
I’ll miss my hair. I like having longer hair. I like having thick hair. I feel like I’ve only just finished growing out the post-surgery haircut, even though surgery was 2 years ago (on the Friday just gone, actually). And now I’ve got another year or so of growing out the post-baby hair loss ahead of me. By the time I’m done Leila might even have a decent amount of hair.
