Postnatal Hair Loss Facts:-
- Following childbirth, the hormone levels drop.
- Dieting (particularly crash diets) immediately after birth are not recommended.
- Healthy eating and a good and balanced diet is sensible and will promote good hair.
- Most women see their hair quality and growth cycle return to normal within three (3) months.
- However, for some, the hair fallout stage can last longer.
For more severe cases of hair loss, with the proper treatment and professional guidance, typically, within 6 months one should see improved condition of the hair and scalp along with the hair cycle becoming stabilised once again.
Hair loss in women does not only present itself at the postnatal stage, other reasons behind hair loss in women can be; genes (1 in 5 women), unbalanced diet (crash diets, diets with lots of carbohydrates and insufficient protein), puberty, menopause as well as incorrect use of shampoo and other hair products.
