Hair Thinning

For the past eight months or so I've noticed that my hair has been thinning. I have extremely FINE hair, which means it breaks a lot and needs lots of TLC. Before pregnancy I didn't have thinning hair, but lately I've been experiencing postpartum hair shedding and thinning!!!. It's driving me bananas. You know how some women get shiny, strong and healthy hair from pregnancy? well I'm completely the opposite. What I got was shedding, thinning and more shedding! My edges are completely gone, and it's not like I'm not taking good care of them, no. I obsess each night before bed and have to make sure my edges are protected and not rubbing on my sheets. I use Shea butter mixed with castor oil or coconut oil for my edges, and yet the result are nothing but sheer disappointment. I did some research and apparently many women experience hair loss, thinning and shedding after giving birth. It's one of those things I have learn to accept and live with. It's gonna take some time to get my edges back and until then, this is my new normal!

So anyways for the past two weeks I wore my hair in medium twists and created a faux bun to finish up the look. I like twists as protective style, they're great and you can style them in many many different ways!
