Do you suffer from postpartum hair loss?

If you’re a mum, you can probably remember all the beautiful changes your body went through during pregnancy. Glowing skin, stronger nails and healthy looking hair – even if you suffered from other less glamorous pregnancy symptoms, chances are that your skin and hair never looked better. For me, this was perfectly true during both of my pregnancies. Funnily enough, I didn’t feel great, but at least I looked good. However, after giving birth, a few month into my daughter’s infancy it all changed. All of a sudden my hair started to fall out, in chunks. Postpartum hair loss is called telogen effluvium and it occurs four to six months after pregnancy. The hair goes into the shedding stage after you’ve given birth. Bad news is: you can’t prevent it. Good news is: it will grow back. It may take time, but it will. In the mean time, there are a few things you can try if you feel uncomfortable with the hair loss.

Is it just postpartum hair loss or something else?

Little we talk about it, but there can be of course other reasons too. It is always good to find the reason for excessive hair loss and not just writing it off as postpartum hair problems. First on the list: post natal depression and stress. Experts believe that hormonal imbalances due to elevated stress levels could be a probable cause of hair loss in this case. Some medications like antidepressants can cause hair loss too. Some other chronic or acute illnesses can also cause hair damage and loss as well as imbalanced diet.

One more tip: Opt for a wig. Hair loss is nothing to be ashamed of. But you always have the option to cover it up while treating it.
