Postpartum hair loss: effective causes and recipes to fight it!

While hair may become remarkably thick and soft during pregnancy, the postpartum period is another story, as hair may begin to fall heavily. So what happens? And how do you treat it if it happens with you?

In the following article, we will look at the mother's loss of her postpartum and postpartum hair:

Is postpartum hair loss normal?

Yes, usually the mother begins to lose large amounts of her hair after birthbetween 2-4 months, and may continue to fall until the twenty-fourth week after birth, but it rarely lasts beyond the 15th month after birth.

This condition is usually called postnatal haemorrhage (Telogen effluvium - Postpartum alopecia), which involves hair loss in particular from the front of the head.

What causes hair loss after birth?

Poetry passes through his life in two stages:

• Stage 1: The growth stage, which includes about 90% of the head hair, as this hair continues to grow non-stop.
• Stage 2: The hair loss stage, which includes about 10% of the head hair, where the hair is here at a resting stage that makes it ready to fall at any moment.

Each person loses nearly 100 hairs per day, which is the normal limit, but during pregnancy, the hair growth stage is longer, the number of hairs growing, and the number of hairs in the resting period, under the influence of high levels of hormone Estrogen.

Natural hair loss is significantly reduced during pregnancy , making hair appear more intense and vibrant than ever before.

But after birth, estrogen levels return to normal, causing large amounts of follicles to enter the resting phase and thus fall down together and in large amounts after birth.

Hair loss is usually temporary, and hair regrowth naturally after 6-12 months of birth.
