Postpartum Hair Loss

While you were pregnant, perhaps you noticed that your hair got thick and you didn't lose much hair than usual. It's because your estrogen level gets high while you were pregnant, making your hair's resting stage (your hair is ready to fall off) delayed. But after a few months postpartum your estrogen gets unstable so more hair is at the resting stage resulting to more hair fall and you begin scooping lots of hair off the shower drain.
Hair loss after giving birth is quite normal so don't worry, you won't go bald. The thickness of your hair will come back by your baby's first birthday.
Also, you can't prevent your hair from falling out but there are things you can do to keep your tresses in good shape.

*Get a hair cut
Some new moms prefer to get a shorter hair after giving birth so it will be easier to manage.Also, hair loss seems to affect longer hair more because it's harder to maintain. Plus, the longer the hair, the harder it will be to comb out so more hair will fall off from the struggle of your brush against your tresses.

*Mousse and hair growers
You can apply hair mousse after bath so your hair will look thicker. You can also use hair growing agents if you want to help faster hair growth.

*Don't touch, kids
Babies tend to pull hair and that will lead to more hair loss. Don't let you baby or kids touch your hair.Pull your hair into a bun or a pony tail whenever you hold your baby. It will also lessen his risk of allergies from the dust and scent from hair products he could inhale from your hair.

*No stress
One big factor on hair loss is stress. So the more you think about your hair loss, the more your hair will fall off. Remember that your hair will come back to normal so don't panic and just enjoy the postpartum bliss with your new angel.
