To colour hair that is falling out?

[bevvi]

I am losing a lot of hair at the moment possibly due to being 9 months post partum and maybe possibly due to losing the baby weight quite quickly although it’s quite a excessive and I have a blood test booked in a couple of weeks to make sure it’s nothing else.

I am in my 40s so have quite a bit of grey coming through which I would like to colour but I’m not sure if I should leave well alone until it stops sheddding or if it really wouldn’t make any difference.

Make sure you get your thyroid and iron levels checked. I have Hashimotos thyroiditis which came on after my first child was born. I lost the weight quickly but that was a sign that my thyroid levels were fluctuating before it went totally kaput!

Maybe look at a semi permanent colour, which will just be pigment rather than chemicals, so will do less damage to your hair. You could also try a skin hair and nails supplement.
