Hair Issues after babies

Ok, I know I can't be the only one! My youngest is now 13 months. I've already experienced the joys of all that post partum hair loss. Now I have these short, wispy, super annoying, stick straight up no matter what hairs around my temples. No gel, hairspray, or hair goop has been able to take these guys down. It's incredibly annoying. I'm guessing this is new growth but jeez how long is this going to take!?! Chat Icon I don't remember having this issue after my 1st.

So if you are dealing with this, how are you taming these things? I feel like I have no other option but to bring the 80s hair back to hide these pesky little 'horns' Chat Icon

Most days i don't care, LOL, but if it we are going somewhere and it matters, I spray hairspray right onto my hands and slick them back. That seems to do the trick, just sparaying it on the hair and then slicking it back doesn't help for some reason.

OMG me too. They have been driving me insane. DS is 12m and they are finally getting a little better with some hairspray. But a few months ago they would stick straight up no matter what I did! Hang in there, they will grow out soon.

DS is 16m and I just chopped off my hair so that things look better. Best decision I ever made. My hair looks thicker now.

i wish it was wine although coconut oil is cheaper.
i just rub some in my hands and put it over the problem areas (ends and fly aways). then i wash it REALLY well in the shower. Sometimes i keep it on for about 15 minutes, but i find that keeping it on longer is better. the last time i did it, my hair came out sort of greasy, so i dont think i need to do it as frequently any more.
i seriously use coconut oil for everything in my house!
