She describes motherhood as 'amazing', but Selma Blair has candidly revealed she is experiencing an unwanted side affect.
The Cruel Intentions actress, 39, who gave birth to son Arthur Saint four months ago, has revealed she is suffering post-partum hair loss.
'This is so not glamorous, but it’s true: I need to take longer showers so that I can collect the hair that falls out and throw it away so I don’t clog the drain,' she tells People magazine.
'Why do actresses never talk about that?'
She continued: 'It just started falling out at the three-month mark. And I’m not a girl who likes extensions, so Selma’s going to be bald!'
Many new mothers experience hormonal hair loss as a result of declining estrogen levels.
It commonly begins around four months after giving birth and usually subsides by around the six month mark.
Still the actress, who is married to fashion designer beau Jason Bleick, is revelling in her new role.
'I’m so in love with him,' she has said of her son. 'He makes me happy every day.'
