“I’ve always had full edges. I did some research and found out that new moms are surprised to be shedding more hair than usual in the first few months after giving birth, but it's perfectly normal. there's no need to panic: Your hair should be back to normal around your baby's first birthday," she continued.
She ended the caption asking for support from her followers. “That’s way too long to be without edges but it’s a part of the beauty of giving birth. I just wanted to share that with you ladies. Who else is experiencing postpartum hair loss? .....cause I don’t like it ?!! #imbaldbihhhh,” she wrote.

Luckily, her comments were flooded with helpful tips from other moms. “I had the same problem after having my children so I faithfully take hair, skin and nails vitamins with Argan oil infused also from The Vitamin Shop buy collagen It's in powder form or pill form both will help you repair and grow your natural hair,” one person advised.
Another person wrote, “The same thing happened to me. Nursing can also exaggerate this. I have very full thick hair and ALL of my edges and about half of my hair fell out after I had my baby. I cut it all off and let it grow back in healthy. “
