What is postpartum hair loss?
Have you noticed your hair falling out more after having a baby? That’s postpartum hair loss, also called telogen effluvium or postpartum alopecia, a common condition triggered by hormonal fluctuations. High levels of estrogen during pregnancy prevent hair from entering the resting phase, resulting in thicker locks. But during and after pregnancy, estrogen levels fall, and all the additional hair comes out at once. It typically begins three months after giving birth and can extend for at least a year. It’s absolutely normal, and yet it can feel frustrating. The good news? Your hair will grow back! A healthy diet, mild hair care, and treatments can also help to speed up the regrowth process.
Hair typically grows half an inch per month and there are three main phases that hair goes through as it grows:
You might notice more hair in your brush, shower drain or on your pillow.
You may notice your hair looks thinner in particular in the area near your hairline and temples.
Some mothers observe larger clumps of hair coming out at a time.
Shedding phase after pregnancy is normal, but sometimes it means something more. You should see a doctor if:
If you’re concerned, a doctor can examine what’s triggering the hair loss and recommend steps to support hair regrowth.
During pregnancy, more estrogen means that hair is kept in the growth phase and is therefore thicker. After giving birth, estrogen levels drop, resulting in many of the hairs entering the resting phase and falling out (usually after a couple months), contributing to postpartum hair loss.
Shedding hair after childbirth is extremely common, more than 90 percent of women said they experienced it in a recent study. A few things can make it worse:
Shedding typically resolves within a year, but some people continue to lose hair because of hormonal changes or nutrient deficiency.
Excessive hair loss can be a cause of concern and impact self-esteem.
Any new hair that regrows can be thinner or more delicate.
Postpartum hair loss intrigues some researchers because of its association to either inflammation or thyroid issues.
In rare cases, fallen hair can wrap itself around your baby’s fingers or toes or other body parts and cause pain and restrict blood supply.
Taking prenatal vitamins provides your body with crucial nutrients that aid hair growth, such as iron, folic acid, and biotin.
Vitamins best for hair health
Hair strengthening vitamins like biotin, iron, vitamin D helps with hair loss. Consult your physician to see what vitamins are best for you.
Stress can absolutely worsen postpartum hair loss by impacting your hormones. Finding time to unwind can cut back on hair loss.
Prevent postpartum hair loss by reducing stress
Things like deep breathing, good sleep, and seeking help when appropriate can go a long way here. Do small things that you feel calm doing, like listening to music, going for a walk, or something that makes you happy.
Volumizing shampoos give your hair a fuller appearance, and lightweight conditioners help prevent your hair from becoming weighed down.
Choosing the best products
Seek products that are “volumizing” or “thickening” made for fine hairs. You probably want to experiment with a few different ones to find what works best for your hair.
Being aggressive with your hair can lead to excessive shedding. Also avoid excessive heat like blow dryers to avoid added breakage.
Proper hair care
Use a wide-toothed comb, wash with lukewarm water and avoid tight ponytails or braids that pull on your hair.
Shorter haircuts can work better when you have a baby since they make your hair look fuller and are easier to manage.
Best hairstyle for thinning hair
Volume can be achieved with layered cuts and bobs. Consult with your stylist about a style that suits you best.
