I just recently had a child and at the beginning of my pregnancy (didn’t know I was pregnant) I put in a relaxer (Olive Oil) and my hair fell out. Once I knew I was pregnant I would straighten my hair with a hot comb when my hair started to grow back. I have since given birth and tried gentle treatment relaxer and it seemed ok (hair didn’t fall out but hair wasn’t really straight) but when I needed another touch up I could not find gentle treatment so I had a friend put in Elasta QP sensitive. She roller set it so it seemed fine but when I went to wash it I had some hair loss.I tried gentle treatment again and my hair is still falling out. I have very nappy hair that usually grows fast so I need a relaxer every month or I wont be able to comb it. My hair has ended up tangled and knotted a lot therefore I am losing my hair. Will I have to use a hot comb the rest of my life?

2009 Dec 24 1hair loss can be caused by many different reasons! Find out the actual cause of hair loss! There are many causes of loss of hair such as stress, poor nutrition ,medications, thyroid dysfunctions, illness, fungal infections ,hormonal problems, to mention a few. but anyway you can always try and get real results.
year ago my wife suffered from hair loss too and she started trying everything you can imagine to stop her hair loss. the things that really worked for her was:
1) Vitamin A - an anti-oxidant which promotes healthy production of sebum in the scalp;
2) Vitamin E stimulates circulation. Good blood circulation in the scalp is important in keeping hair follicles productive. The ‘B’ vitamins contribute to melanin, which gives hair its healthy color and also stimulates blood circulation;
3) massage is also beneficial. Massage stimulates circulation. As already noted, good circulation in the scalp keeps hair follicles active. Experts suggest a few minutes of daily head massage by hand. Circulation through massage may be improved by using a few drops of lavender or bay essential oil in an almond or sesame oil base with massage;
4) Try rubbing your scalp with garlic juice, Onion Juice or Ginger Juice(you can either of one out of three, Do not mix any of two or three);
5) also used herbal treatment.in that case Provillus is a good product that helps prevent hair loss and it is an FDA approved product. I think it is very important!
It worked and still works for her!
I do not know if any pharmacies carry Provillus but I do know that you should purchase it directly from the manufacturer and read more about the product here http://www.provillus.com/?aid=749165
good luck!
not only my and my wife`s own personal experience

2009 Dec 24 2Head and Shoulders Ocean Lift.
I use this, it’s great. Head and Shoulders is NOT just for dandruff, it works great for all of the "symptoms" your hair has. It worked great for me and I get compliments on my hair almost every day
Hope this helps!

2009 Dec 24 3Head and Shoulders intense treatment shampoo is great. garlic and aloe based shampoos work for me, my hairline is growing in and I use that 3 times a week. Use a moisturizing conditioner, but avoid working the conditioner in or near the scalp, because that causes hair loss. And eat healthy, seaweed, salmon, avocados and papaya are excellent for hair and skin and overall wellness. Good luck!

2009 Dec 24 4Hi let me say I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL.
I had a baby 7 months ago and it just now stopped. That happens to allot of women after they give birth its because your hormones are trying to go back, i breastfeed for three months so my body thought it was till pregnant that’s why it didn’t stop until she was 7 months
it should stop after maybe 4 months?
also you might want to get blood work done for your thyroid. Mine was high but went in and everything is back to normal meaning the hormones are back,
i thought i was going to go bald i cried even, i would say maybe condition and use a wig until it passes. im so sorry i DO know how you feel.

2009 Dec 24 5You need this because it is as much a scalp problem as a hair problem.

2009 Dec 24 6All relaxers work by breaking the protein bonds in hair, therefore making it more likely to be brittle. Your natural hair is naturally healthier because it hasn’t been chemically processed. Your use of chemical relaxers in conjunction with the fact that you’ve just given birth is WAY too much stress on your hair, which is why your are experiencing breakage and hair loss. Most women experience shedding and hair loss after they have given birth, but you are also relaxing your hair….which makes your hair even MORE likely to break. At this point, you should either try to go natural by transitioning, or stretch your relaxer till your hair is healthy again. The Curls By Nature from Mineral Indulgence makes nappy hair easier to comb, and it’s got a little protein in it so it strenghtens hair as well, plus it’s natural so it wont iritate your scalp. The Shea and Cocoa Butter hair cream and herbal scalp serum is also good if your scalp is itchy and is really good for growth. You should just try and use natural products, and lay off the heat and chemicals for a while. Chemicals can irritate the scalp and chemical based relaxers cause hair loss, to boot your hair is weak from giving birth, so it’s best that you use as little chemicals as possible and just take care of your hair.
Try doing protein treatments and hot oil treatments weekly or every two weeks. Use a scalp conditioner that doesn’t contain mineral oil or petroleum as these clog the pores and inhibit growth. Do scalp massages, and moisturize an deep condition your hair. Seal your ends and "bun" your hair and do not manipulate it that often. Try and do roller sets or blow outs instead of using the hot comb if you must use heat. Use natural moisturizers and leave in conditioners as well. Do styles like braid outs and twist outs, and only comb your hair with a WIDE TOOTH comb when your hair is slightly damp. Comb your hair starting from the tips and work your way up to your roots.
