4 Ways to stop hair loss after postpartum

Postpartum hair loss is thought to occur in around 10% of women. One of the main causes of postpartum hair loss can be hormones. The increased estrogen levels present in a woman's body during pregnancy make it so that fewer hairs are in the “resting” state. This also means that fewer new hairs will be growing. During pregnancy, you might have fuller, thicker, hair. But after birth, estrogen levels drop sharply, and thus those old hairs that were growing are now falling out, and the fewer new hairs that grew during pregnancy have to take their place.

It is important not to panic during this stressful time as it perfectly normal for the hair to fall out. Postpartum hair loss generally starts between 1 and 5 months after giving birth, and after your hormone levels balanced out, your hair will get back to the normal hair cycle and you should get back that healthy hair of yours in about 6 to 12 months.

Need to note that postpartum hair loss should stop by the baby's first birthday. If it continues past then, the hair loss may be related to any number of conditions such as hypothyroidism or anemia. It is very important to see a doctor if the symptoms continue for too long. Of course, in this time you can use the following 4 ways to prevent postpartum hair loss:

1. Continue to take your prenatal vitamins after your baby is born. This will not stop your hair loss, but it will ensure that you are getting the nutrients you need to prevent hair loss from other causes. Deficiencies in zinc, manganese and vitamin B12 can all contribute to hair loss. 5 Vitamins and 4 minerals supplements stop hair loss
