Hair Loss after Pregnancy
It is not common for women to suffer hair loss during pregnancy, because of the fact that during pregnancy, a woman often experience growth spurts in her body including the hair. At some point or another, a woman's hair is shinier and thicker during pregnancy than at any other time. However, it can happen in some very rare cases that a pregnant woman suffers hair loss and may be severe and would occur in round or oval patches. In this case, you should consult your doctor immediately as this be a sign that you are suffering vitamin or mineral deficiency. Vitamin or mineral deficiency in pregnant women should always be addressed immediately as this may cause some side effects on both the woman and the baby.
Post pregnancy hair loss is a common problem due to hormone levels in your body returning to normal. This means that the excess of hormones, which are no longer needed, leave the body, and your systems revert back to the way they were pre-pregnancy, and all that hair that became so full during pregnancy will start falling out. Higher estrogen levels during pregnancy benefits their hair, making it thicker and faster growing. An average person loses up to 100 hairs per day, but the estrogen stimulates the hair follicles which reduce the amount of natural hairs lost during pregnancy. For many women, the same hormonal changes might lead to longer, stronger and healthier growth on the scalp. These women might suffer from loss after childbirth but not while they are pregnant.
There are also some ways to take basic care of your scalp and avoid or reduce hair loss as much as possible:
- Eat a diet high in fruits and vegetables, which contain fibers and antioxidants that protect the hair follicles and support hair growth.
- For ensuring a proper balance of hormones, consult your health care provider.
- Avoid hairstyles or hair instruments which can pull and stress your hair.
- Avoid shampoos and conditioners which contain more chemicals.
- Avoid stress, since it tends to severely affect the hormones and your hair.
- Hair is more fragile when wet, so be gentle and avoid sharp tooth combs to comb wet hair.
- If you need to use blow dryers and other such heated hair instruments, try to use the cool to warm setting.
- Supplement your diet with nutrients rich in Vitamin B complex, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Zinc.
- Don't worry, in a couple of months you will be so busy with your baby, you might not even notice that your hair has grown back.
