Ashley Graham has opened up about dealing with postpartum hair loss, which she says was "more traumatic than birth".
The outspoken model, 33, welcomed her firstborn - a baby boy named Isaac Menelik Giovanni - on January 18, 2020.
Since the birth of her first child, Ashley has been candid about having children and the effects it has on your body.
In a recent interview with Parents, she spoke about the hair loss she began experiencing four months after Isaac was born.
Ashley said: "I think it was like around four months, my whole hairline fell out. And that was more traumatic than even birth because I was like, 'My hair's falling out in clumps—what am I doing?' and then I realized it's actually a thing."
She added: "My skin got a bit irritated as well, and I had a little bit of rosacea that I had to combat."
The body-confident model even shared a pic featuring her hair loss with her 12.8 million followers on Instagram in March. She captioned the shot: "I may not be a Bond girl but I can be a Bond villain (postpartum baby hairs come through!!!)"
Elsewhere in the interview with Parents, she said that she always aims to be transparent about the physical effects of pregnancy - and how she takes care of her body.
She said: "I like to share every aspect of my life. I don't want to hide how I'm taking care of my body, whether it's mental health, stretching, movement.
"Even through pregnancy, I wanted other pregnant women to know it's OK to move your body as long as you've been doing it before you were pregnant for safety reasons…"
Ashley continued: "For me moving my body is like a big form of self-care—and mental health has really been such a big conversation that people have been having, especially all through 2020.
"I just have found it incredibly important for everybody to talk about their journey and what they've been doing because it helps people who are struggling."
Back in February, she told E! News that she thinks the unattainable concept of a "postpartum snapback" is "really BS".
"I think it's an unattainable reality for most women," she added. "And it's been an unattainable reality for myself."
