After each of my pregnancies I knew losing my hair was a possibility, having heard other moms talk about this icky postpartum reality. But when you're standing in the shower and you pull out a chunk of your hair it's still shocking, no matter how many times it's happened, or how prepared you are for your mop to jump scalp.
Postpartum hair loss is the result of changing hormone levels after birth. There's no way to make it stop, other than giving it time, but a haircut might minimize the amount of hair you're fishing out of the shower drain, or Swiffering off the floor.
Perhaps that was thought process of this mom, whose recent salon visit was captured in a video posted to Utah stylist Christina Kreitel's Instagram. The short clip features the moment a chunk of her long hair is easily pulled out. It's both cringeworthy and super-relatable.
HaHA!!! Nothing like that Post Pregnancy Shed man!!!! You know the time, 4 months postpartum and you FILL that drain! I?m going through this myself and like to collect it on the wall of my shower Haha so grossly satisfying This is just as good as scalp treatments!! Anyone else going through this!!! #licensedtocreate

"It's my client, but I'm going through it too," Kreitel told BabyCenter in an email about the dramatic video, which has been viewed over 2.2 million times at time of writing.
