I'm 23 years old, mother whose hair is coming out.. :(
I noticed after my first child was born my hair started to fall out but I wasn't too concerned because everyone told me it was normal. Then after my 2nd child was born I had even more hair loss.
I use to dye my hair a lot, not sure if maybe that's why or not..
But I really started noticed my hair coming out, in like chucks, probably 20 of more strans.. When I dyed my hair the last time. The day after I dye my hair ( its a dark colour, no peroxide) I started taking anti-depressants. I actually stopped taking my pills because there was so much loss thinking it was because of the pill but the hair loss didn't get any better. there was no change. Should I be worried about this?
If anyone has any advice please reply!

OK well this is called "Alopecia", and the reason your only getting it now is because it can be caused by stress! You say you have 2 children now which is a ton of stress at such a young age, you should continue with your antidepressants because these will help with stressful days, also go back to your doctor about the hair loss (Alopecia) and he may be able to prescribe a cream for it. But you also need to deal with your stress, maybe counsiling? Yoga? Something you can enjoy and relax to daily, you need more help with your children and less worrying. I hope this helps, :)
