What's worse than having a bad haircut?

It's bad enough having a fringe at the back of my head (it's called "styling" - well, not on fine Asian hair, it isn't), and not being able to just wash and go without fear of looking like a right nong; now I'm suffering from childbirth-related hair loss.

For the last few days, the number of hairs I find entwined in my fingers after my post-shower finger comb, have increased to maybe half a dozen, instead of one or two at the most. So I looked it up in my Baby Love book and, sure enough, I've succumbed to yet another item on the list of "things that happen to you after you have a baby".

According to my book, I'm going to continue to lose more-than-usual hairs for maybe another five months. Then I get to enjoy my scalp's new-found nakedness until approximately twelve months after Baby's birth, before new hairs grow.

Time to go shopping for hats.

Hard to believe that cute little baby has caused hair loss. You can always do a comb over if it gets really bad tee,hee..

I don't think combovers work on Asian hair...

happyandblue2: you know, I was just thinking yesterday about comb-overs...

editter: they might if you use really strong hair gel

grrr: come over and visit! You can try emailing me on violetster@gmail.com and get the address.

eb: I've seen your hair - you have tons of it - so whatever hair loss you have obviously isn't making a difference.

You can always do what I do (and for the record, started doing before hair loss became a problem for me, not that I consider it a problem, really...) and that is shave your head :-)

onscreen: well that's always an option , but it is summer y'know. I'd have to be really careful with getting sunburn on my scalp, so I'd end up having to wear a hat anyway.

That's my explanation for my hairloss as well!
