What can I do about my receding hairline? Pics

Imfinallyamummy · 16/06/2020 11:22

I've always had a receding shaped hairline but it looks even worse especially on one side, since having my baby.

What can I do about it? Anything or just live with it? I can't see it unless someone takes a photo of the side of my head then I'm reminded how awful it looks. It looks fine from the front!

Iv not really got much advice. I think if you started a thread in style and beauty you will likely get more replies s that's where the clever beauty experts hang out!

Be carful about how you dry hair incase it's breaking the hair.

To be honest though I think you need a gp. It could be linked to a medical condition or hormone issues etc.

Also depending on how long you had the baby I know it can lead to hair loss I'm not an expert but for most it's temporary but try to up your vitamin and minerals especially if you are breast feeding because that takes a lot of what you are putting in.

Not sure you were wanting anything this extreme but you can get cosmetic tattooing where you get little ink dots tattooed into your skin, to make it look fuller. It’s semi permanent make up basically so you’d need to top up every 18 months or so!

Regain/rogain shampoo and treatment is quite popular for that. It's an alopecia treatment.

What colour is your hair naturally. If it was a lighter colour then it would look less obvious.

Also, It probably looks worse in photos than in real life

I had the from the mirena coil. It is because you hormones are all over the place but you can do lots to help it recover.
I’d recommend getting your bloods done at the doctors and look for vitamin deficiency and hormones levels.
Make sure you are taking vitamins, eating a healthy diet and avoid foods with lots of synthetic hormones like cows milk while you body rebalances.
Mine grew back but it does take a while.
I’d also use a specialist shampoo and avoid brushing your hair when wet.

I wouldn’t register that Smile

If it bothers you, though, a thicker fringe would cover it?

Oh, I also remember something about sea kelp supplement helping with hair regrowth. Maybe ask at a natural shop.

I have similar op. I've heard good things about this, and plan to give it a go

I'm the same op after having my baby. I was just reading on another thread about watermans shampoo and am going to try it.

Don’t tie your hair back as it pulls on it, don’t use a hairdryer, straighteners or anything that heats your hair. Plus wash as little as often. Hair loss after a baby is quite common so it may readjust itself. Stress can make your hair fall out, I have had that in the last but yours is probably hormonal. Dying your hair is bad for it, have no idea if you do but if you don’t have to then don’t.

JustC · 16/06/2020 13:28

Oh, if this is the hair loss that happens about 4months after you have a baby, it usually recovers by itself in time. At least mine did.

Glowcat · 16/06/2020 13:32

I’m trying some of those hair and nails supplements for the same type of thing. I’m giving it 3 months (Boots 3 for 2!)
