After giving birth, many women begin to rapidly lose their hair. Some attribute this to a lack of vitamins and exhaustion of the body from pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, the reason is different.
During pregnancy, the hair of the expectant mother becomes strong, shiny and almost does not fall out. They reach their maximum beauty and volume by the time of childbirth. This happens by increasing the level of estrogen in the body of the expectant mother. Estrogen is one of the most important hormones to support pregnancy. He is also responsible for female beauty. Thanks to him, the hair practically stops falling out. Thus, by the time of childbirth, the woman's hair becomes noticeably more magnificent.
But after the birth of the baby, the level of estrogen decreases to the previous level, and all the hairs that did not have time to fall out during pregnancy (and should have been, if it were not for it), are rapidly falling out. This process usually begins when the baby is 3-6 months old and lasts 50-100 days. During this period, a woman loses 2-3 times more hair every day than before pregnancy.
Do not panic and fear baldness. Only those hairs that linger on the head for longer than the time allotted will fall out. After a few months, the unpleasant process of intense hair loss will stop, and the hairstyle will return to the same state it was in before pregnancy. In addition, many women note that by the age of six months a “hedgehog” of new hair grows on their head.
