Does this go to Stephanie herself?? If so, I’m STILL loosing my hair after my last child. She will be 2 years old on Aug. 21st this year. She is the olny one of my three that I lost hair with. Its odd. I’m tring the Shampoo Tressamel and its gotten less. But, its still shedding. I will be 37 this month. I had my tubes tied on the DAY OFF I gave birth to my daughter. Is there a hormone link to losing to that as well???

If it has been more than 1 year and you are losing more than 200 hairs per day, then this is related to something else. You should talk to your health care provider about this and make sure you don’t have some underlying condition… hair loss beyond this can be caused by many things including trauma / stress, thyroid problems, nutritional deficiencies, etc. You should get it checked out for your health, not just your hair. :)
