How about ayurvedic powders (brahmi, amla, shikakai)
Garlic condishes are GREAT! just add a couple of tablespoons of garlic in your fave condish and deep condition (concentrate on your scalp) it with that for a couple of hours....and then a tea rinse to follow.....try this a few times and your shedding will stop right in it tracks!

4 months after I gave birth I was loosing about 20+ hairs each wash, detangle or styling session. What helped me was black tea rinses and Queen Helene garlic poo. Hth
Girl garlic? Won't I stink?? lol
The garlic and the tea will help. ..as @bunnie82 mentioned focus on your scalp and let it sit. I don't believe much will truly help with post partum shedding though...you may have to ride it out. Congrats on the baby though
Im not sure anything can really help me.... I hate prenatals so I stopped taking them a while ago. Thanks much
Girl I'd be thrilled if I only lost 20+ hairs... I lose a lot more than that.... I need to look into some of these garlic products...
Thanks boo...

Are you still taking your prenatal pills as that helps to slow it down some with some women? That or try pills with a good amount of Iron. Congrats on the baby!

I came in to say that alot of women continue to take their prenatal vitamins. You may luck up and come across garlic oil (I found mine in Biglots) and yes it does smell like garlic, but it really does help with breakage/shedding. I'm not pre/post partum but I do have PCOS and it's a beast sometimes.
I'd imagine eating clean to help balance the hormones would help. Hopefully some of the mamas will chime in.

judy4all, I can feel your pain, my edges went blad and lost lots in density.
My edges are back and I am still working on density, this was nearly 3 years ago.
what helped me was a garlic and onions mixture. I talk about it in this vid (start at 1;30):

ditto, cosign, THIS!
And congratulations dear
Me too...prenatals and my slow release iron seemed to do the trick. I also left my hair alone for the most part. I'm not sure if doing a hard core protein treatment added anything but my shedding has decreased 4 months pp. Praying that its over. Wishing you the best and congratulations!!
