Post baby hair help

I gave birth to DC this year and despair daily at my hair since. It's still falling out in huge clumps when it's waster brushed, and it is so dry and frizzy. I've tried several dry hair treatments but nothing really helps right now. I'm at the point I want to just shave my head and be done with it. I am still breastfeeding and don't know if this is still impacting on its condition?

Please can I have some advice and recommendations for miracle hair elixirs that will give me glossy, silky locks instead of an untamed Brillo pad.

Hey, I'm going through exactly the same thing, three months since giving birth. It's literally all over the house and from what I've seen totally normal, my friends have experienced the same. I'm trying to wash it less, use spray in shampoo. I've got long hair and on Friday I'm having it cut to shoulder length, I think il feel less upset seeing so much of it in my brush.
I formula feed so I don't think it's associated with bf so don't worry. Apparently it's ment to ease at six months.

Glad to know I'm not alone! However baby is closer to a year than 6 months and I could still make a weekly wig out of the fallen hair.

I'm really reluctant to chop my hair as I prefer it long but I'm thinking it might make it look healthier and make me feel better about it. This isn't my first baby but definitely the first time my hair has suffered so much.
