Pregnancy is a truly transformative experience in many ways, affecting everything from your hormones, general wellbeing and your physical appearance.
The female body undergoes a number of significant changes during pregnancy due to elevated hormone levels. Hair health in particular is heavily influenced by several hormones, with progesterone and oestrogen leading the pack in triggering an increase in hair health and halting the natural cycle of hair fall.
Pregnancy
During pregnancy, women typically experience better hair health, increased thickness and overall vitality with less hair falling out naturally than would otherwise occur as part of the natural hair cycle. However, following birth, the sudden, sharp decrease in hormone levels often results in what feels like a mass hair fallout causing hair to feel thinner in density (often referred to as postpartum alopecia).
Postpartum hair loss
Experiencing this change in hair during the postpartum period is especially common with many women reporting some sort of deterioration in their hair quality, texture and thickness following the birth of their baby.
Understandably, these affects can be debilitating causing a decline in self-confidence, self-esteem and feeling generally unattractive in one’s overall appearance. This is further exacerbated by the fact that there is no ‘cure’ or prevention readily available with most topical hair growth treatments taking months before any new results in hair re-growth are seen.
Fortunately, postpartum hair loss usually resolves itself in most cases within 6 months of giving birth. General recommendations to manage this condition includes implementing a healthy hair care routine, avoiding excessive use of heated hair tools and maintaining a nutritious and balanced diet. However, even with all these measures in place, the immediate problem still exists as the very nature of hair growth simply comes down to time - time to re-grow.
