Post partum recovery - a hair update after baby #4

We survived the first week back at work full time, wooohooo. It was a crazy week that felt like the longest week ever. You guys we have 4 pick ups and drop offs, which is absolutely insane. Right now we are doing our favorite divide and conquer technique by each taking 2 kids to alleviate the pain while hoping that very soon we will be down to only 2 drop offs. I am so happy baby girl is sleeping longer stretches at night because I really need those extra hours.

Anyway, I digress, this post is about my hair update. My hair has been falling like crazy for the last 2 months, I am officially bald, womp womp. I was really hoping and holding out hope but nah, I am balding like I did after my other pregnancies. My hair is still falling but I think the end is near. Since I was going back to work, I had to remember to style my hair in a way that would hide the baldness yet still look somewhat stylish.

My favorite time this week was attending Bean's harvest luncheon at his daycare. He was so happy to see me and wouldn't leave my sight the entire lunch. You can see what my go to hairstyle looks like in this awesome picture with my beanie baby.

When I got my hair relaxed a month ago, it was evident where the hair loss was concentrated. I mean look at my ends. I plan to do a major cut next month

Every time I comb my hair, I end up with a major amount of loss just because. It is nerve wrecking. I try not to comb my hair too much these days but what can you do

This is what my edges look like right now, yikes

I plan to style it this way when my hair is out. Though I don't plan to have my hair out much until we are done shedding like crazy

This is how I plan to style my hair to hide that major hair loss. I managed to do that for months after my other pregnancies and it worked really well

I plan to style my hair on Sundays for the week and do minimal work on it during the week. I don't want to comb it too much until we are done shedding

I love the side part look so much because most people don't even notice that I am balding plus it's super cute, I mean check me out with my mini me ;)

On my first day of work I took a few pictures with my baby girl of course. I love my go to hairstyle because it does the trick and will allow me to grow my hair back while still looking stylish :). Oh and by the way I am loving that all my clothes fit me perfectly

I hate the post partum hair loss that follows all my pregnancies but I must say my babies are totally worth that pain. I would give up all my hair any day for this adorable baby girl

Well, this is where we are with the hair loss 4 months post partum. This is usually the worst part about my post partum alopecia. I look forward to the shedding stopping completely then the hair growing back. 9 months is usually the sweet spot in the recovery and that's less than 5 months away. Silver lining :). Do you experience post partum alopecia? How do you deal with it?
