Treating postpartum hair loss
During pregnancy, it's not uncommon for hair to become more beautiful and grow quickly.
But after pregnancy, you may quickly notice that your hair is falling out, sometimes in handfuls.
Are you looking to understand why your hair is falling out and how to remedy this problem?
We give you our best tips below.
Why does my hair fall out after childbirth?
.
.
During pregnancy, high estrogen levels slow down the anagen phase, leading to abundant, thicker hair. Hair growth is often faster than normal.
;
Conversely, after childbirth, hormone levels in a woman's body undergo significant changes.
.
In particular, estrogen levels decrease rapidly, which can lead to a number of physical and emotional symptoms, including hair loss, which can last for several months.
.
Pregnancy can also lead to a nutrient deficiency such as iron, zinc, and B vitamins, which are important for hair health. This deficiency can worsen postpartum hair loss.
Finally, the physical and emotional stress of childbirth and the arrival of a newborn can also affect hair health and contribute to this hair loss.
.
How long does postpartum hair loss last?
.
.
Postpartum hair loss can last from a few weeks to several months.
.
Generally, women begin to notice increased hair loss around three months after childbirth, and this can last up to six months.
.
However, in some cases, hair loss can last up to a year after childbirth.
It is important to note that postpartum hair loss is usually temporary and that hair eventually grows back normally once estrogen levels have regulated.
.
Breastfeeding can also impact the duration of hair loss. To learn more, download our e-book on postpartum hair loss.
