I was speaking my friend just the other day about the wonders of motherhood and then we began discussing the sides of it that are a little less than wonderful; sleepless nights, and baby cries to name a couple of things. And for many new mums, hair loss can be one of the less-than-wonderful-things that comes along with new motherhood. The ‘post-pregnancy’ loss of hair can be quite shocking; for some it really can come out in clumps. But the good thing to remember that it is pretty common, and you will get your hair growing back, it isn’t permanent hair loss.

If you are a new mum and are experiencing a little hair loss, or are an expectant mother and want to be prepared for those early days, then here are some tips to help with the hair loss, tricks for styling your hair, as well as helping healthy hair regrowth.
