What Causes Hair Loss After Delivery?
Ever since having my 3rd child my hair has never been the same. I used to have fine hair but long. Since having my son I can t grow it out, it breaks off and is very thin. I ve actually turned to getting extensions because I m so sad and insecure about it. I ve had blood tests, my thyroid checked and even went to an endocrinologist hoping to find something. I ve taken biotin but that does nothing either.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I suggest you Ferritin level test and a dermatological consultation. Ferritin measures your iron and usually low iron is the cause of hair loss. However, be nice with your hair, use proper shampoos and don't wash it daily. Avoid too much cosmetics. You may have hidden skin problems and you may not be aware of it.
Hope you do well.
