Order nowWhy is it, that the one time you would really appreciate luscious, thick hair – when you’re feeling sleep deprived, covered in milk and baby spit up, and likely haven’t showered for a few days – your hair starts falling out! And more importantly, is there anything that can be done? We let today’s expert fill us in.
