After the birth of my DS 5 months ago my hair is horrendous! I'm losing lots of hair daily and my naturally fine hair is greasy and I have a flaky scalp Sadcan anyone recommend a good quality shampoo/conditioner/product please?

Hi! Know what you are going through, I lost loads of hair and my scalp is still itchy 9 months after. I used Redken Dandruff control which helped in extreme cases. I also got some coconut oil and applied it where sore, this really works. Unfortunately I think it is hormonal and also made worse if you are using heating more to keep baby warm or not going out as much? Maybe try taking extra Vit D if not breastfeeding? I haven't found a wonder product yet and I am still a walking snowstorm, really embarrassing and it means I don't really go to the hairdresser!!

Sorry I couldn't come up with a solution for you, if you find one let me know :-) BTW my hair has started growing back so that is a slight bonus!

You have my sympathies. My DD is six months and my hair is still falling out Sad
