Dear Brig,

              I’m losing my hair.  I am freaking out!  I just had a baby so not only am I dealing with a few extra pounds, I am apparently now going bald.  What can I do to stop this? 

I understand that hair loss is a very sensitive subject amongst men and women, but I have some good news for you.  More than likely your hair loss is temporarily caused by the changes your body experienced from your recent pregnancy to birth.   Since I feel that this is one for the medical experts to explain,  I would like to share an article I found by dermatologist Sandra Johnson on Babycenter.com  This article sums it all up in an easy to understand explanation. I hope this helps you out.  I do recommend that you schedule a visit with your stylist to discuss a great style to help you disguise the hair loss and help blend in the new growth you will soon experience.  Bangs are something I suggest to my new moms in my chair.  Not only are they super sexy, they can relieve a lot of your frustration if you are experiencing the loss at your temples.  Happy growing to your baby and your hair!
