I do this thing where I grab my ponytail and squeeze. I've been doing it since month three postpartum, when I first noticed my fingers could close all the way around it. Before my baby, they couldn't. The ponytail was too thick. Now I wrap the elastic three times. It used to be one. I know I'm not the only one who does this. Who grabs her ponytail in the bathroom mirror and measures her own loss by the number of wraps. Who avoids putting her hair up because the elastic slides right through. I lived like that for months. Measuring, dreading, Googling at 2 AM. Then I found something. Not a product someone was selling me --- an explanation. A real breakdown of what's happening to our hair after baby, and why most of the things we try don't address the actual root cause. It took me 10 minutes to read. And it changed everything I thought I knew about postpartum hair loss.
