And after the birth of each of my three kids, it certainly did.

The floor around my desk was littered with the day’s fallout.
My whole head of hair seemed to be shedding.
But the most curious change was to my hairline.
The left side sits about half an inch higher than the right.
Indents at my temples look like they’re marching toward the beginnings of a widow’s peak.
And spotty, spiky regrowth occasionally sprouts up, which I tamp down withpomadeeach morning.
What was I using?
And did I have tips on how to cover sparse areas?
To be as gentle as possible, I opted forsulfate-free shampoos.
And yet those strands of connection I feel with other women keep growing stronger.
