  At least 4 months here as well.  I still have some bad days when a lot falls out, but it's mostly subsided.

  Yikes, maybe I shouldn't have asked!  I'm going to go cry in my coffee and schedule my haircut now ;-)

  Mine was about three months, from when A was 3-6 months. It was such a mess.

  Mine was 4-5 months. The small re growth hairs at my hairline are the worst.

  Mine lightened up around 8 months and was terrible at 4 months. The re growth around my hairline just now doesn't look quite so funky. PP hair loss was seriously my least favorite thing about pregnancy. Hair was literally everywhere.

  I know @madeline10L said a haircut really helped her.  Did that make a difference for anyone else?  I have slightly longer than shoudler-length hair right now, and I was considering a new bob anyway, which I've had in the past.

  Mine was probably about 3 months. I have funny regrowth now at 9 months pp.

  I don't remember how long mine lasted but it was for months (I'm thinking between 4 - 5 months). I finally got a haircut and it helped A LOT!

  I didn't try a hair cut but I don't feel like it would have helped. It was bad for months. Now I have stupid tiny hairs around my hair line that stick straight out unless I plaster them with hair spray. It makes putting my hair up for work incredibly annoying.

  Mine was really bad around 4 months. I just noticed this week that it seems to have stopped...so about 5 months?

  Around 8 months.  And like @tinytrex said, those little mini baby hairs at the hairline were the worst.  I had to make sure I always had my bangs cut and couldn't wear my hair back without them because late in the day I'd have this halo of tiny hairs.

  A hair cut didn't help my pp hair loss. I always feel better after one though so it can't hurt.

  Wait, this is a thing?  

  
  

  I've read a lot of those "things nobody ever told you about pregnancy" articles and this isn't in any of them. 

  
  

  WHY ARE THERE SO MANY THINGS NOBODY TELLS YOU?!

  PP hair loss was aweful, there was always hair all over DD. It lasted about 2-3 months for me, then I had nasty oily hair for a little while, but now at 7 months pp my hair is nice and silky smooth again.

  Thanks for the responses, everyone! @mrsvedo I know, right? This one is a well-kept secret, at least prior to pregnancy/postpartum.
