Hi, I'm 25 years old. 5 months post pregnancy my hair is falling out.. not just the normal 50-100 hairs, its more like 500 hairs a day.. I have a paddle brush and during and after I'm needing to empty the brush full of hair... after washing my hair in the shower I'm having to unblock the drain plug with hair.. not only that but I wake up and find what seems like hundreds of strands of hair covering my pillow... I take multi vitamins, I've tried treating my hair with hairdresser and doctor approved treatment, and not brushing it when wet.. I've upped the water intake and my diet is really healthy.. my skin is smooth and clear and normally my nails don't grow but if they do they chip and break easily but they are really strong at the moment and I'm having to trim them even more regulary.. I have naturally thick (wavy fizzy) hair but since the hair loss its becoming quite thin and destrssed looking.. I really need some advice or something because its starting to stress me out and get me worried that something's not quite right.. I've been to my doctor and he said its really nothing to worry about.. but hmm I don't know... its A lot of hair to be falling out on a daily basis.. please help!

If you're really, really worried, ask your doctor. :) But eating things like gelatin can help, as can switching to a better shampoo (until I switched to Biolage, I always clogged the drain, too), because products like Aussie and Feria contain lots of waxes and things to make hair shiny on the outside, while those from Biolage, bumble2bumble, etc. actually nourish hair and make it healthier, which results in fewer lost hairs.
