Female hair loss

Hi 🙂

So the hair I lost after the birth of my son never returned and I have struggled with incredibly thin hair since. My hair has always been fine in texture but the front is so bad now I can see my scalp under bright lights. I have just stopped breastfeeding my son (he turned three this weekend and I stopped feeding a few months ago) and to my horror had another bout of hair loss (shedding in the shower etc) for a few weeks after this. It has since calmed down but my hairline has been left even worse.

Is there a chance that now I’ve stopped breastfeeding hormonally things might now settle and it will start growing back? I know this is a bit dramatic of me but it’s really effecting my self esteem now.

Any words of advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

I avoided hairless postpartum like my SIL as I had a tablespoon of molasses daily.

Its high in iron copper and lord knows what.

This is completely anecdotal and I am not a dr at all so please seek proper medical advice as this could be just snake oil BUT i noticed my hair was thinning at Christmas last year and I have been using these ever since: https://www.hollandandbarrett.com/shop/product/stemgro-trichology-daily-hair-growth-supplements-60050175

and I have had some success with them. Could be a placebo effect or completely unrelated but wanted to put that out there. They smell foul though!
