Selma Blair is looking very Neve Campbell these days, isn’t she? That’s not a criticism or anything, I’ve just never noticed before how much Selma and Neve look alike, especially when Selma’s face is a little bit fuller. Selma’s face is looking different these days because she gave birth to her son, Arthur Saint, over the summer, and according to Selma, she still hasn’t lost the baby weight. I kind of like her with some extra pounds, though. Anyway, apparently her weight isn’t the only thing on Selma’s mind. She gave a new interview to People Magazine where she discusses her postpartum hair loss. Hey, moms – does that really happen? Reason #bajillion for me to not have a baby.
Selma Blair wants to keep it real. Just like all new moms, she’s experiencing the joys — and also the pains — of the hormonal changes that come in the first few months following childbirth.
“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. Why do actresses never talk about that?” she tells PEOPLE with a laugh before the Nov. 12 launch party for Gwen Stefani‘s Harajuku Mini for Target collaboration.
“It just started falling out at the three-month mark,” laments the actress, 39, whose son Arthur Saint is now four months old. “And I’m not a girl who likes extensions, so Selma’s going to be bald!”
All shedding aside, Blair is relishing her son’s latest milestones.
“He rolls over now,” she says of her baby boy with fashion designer beau Jason Bleick, “and he got a bouncy toy! It’s like the biggest moment of your life: ‘Oh my gosh, I get 10 minutes free now!’”
“Before, he had a playmat, Mommy or Daddy or now a nanny that comes for a few hours in the daytime, to hold him. But now, autonomy! He got a Fisher-Price Jumperoo — I wish I had one for every room!”
So what does Blair try to do in that 10-minute window of freedom? There’s only one thing, of course: “Shower!”

Obviously, I knew that while pregnant, women’s hair will be thicker and more lustrous. But I guess I didn’t think about what happens after you give birth. According to the scary pregnancy site I just visited, around three to six month after giving birth, many women experience hair loss and sometimes the hair comes out in clumps?!? Yikes. Apparently, everything goes back to normal about a year later, though, and one of the suggestions to ladies experiencing hair loss is to continue taking prenatal vitamins. Or, you know, you could just ask to borrow one of John Travolta’s wiglets.
