Postnatal hair loss is extremely common. Around 50% of women experience this at some point after they have given birth which would be any time in the five months after that they’ve given birth. However, it has been recorded that the third month has been the time that most women have seen this loss occur.

Why, why, why?

Postnatal hair loss is not to be blamed on anything but hormones, or rather estrogen, that are playing hooky inside and can cause the hair to either fall out!

Try some of the ways below to restore you luscious locks

Do keep your hair loosely tied, avoiding pigtails, braids and other ‘tight-tying’ styles

Do keep your hair at a manageable length.

Do rub essential oils into your scalp that will also act as a relaxant to the stress you may be facing.

Do take nutritional supplements

Not to worry though, as it appeared it will disappear. The effects of this postnatal hair loss will be, obviously, the sight of thinning hair. But many women have noticed that the loss will eventually stop within a month. As with postpartum stress, the way to combat postnatal hair loss would be to maintain a healthy diet, get enough sleep and also try to distract yourself. Fussing and worrying over this temporary potential baldness will just increase your postpartum stress and perhaps even drag you into the postpartum depression pool!
