Goodluck xxIs it common for hair loss after pregnancy,help?
Post-Pregnancy Hair Loss Can Happen to You
Hair loss is a prevalent side effect of post-pregnancies. Giving birth to a child often gives way to temporary hair loss because of hormonal changes in the woman’s body. There are very low levels of estrogen in a woman’s body after childbirth, and a decreased level of estrogen is one major cause of hair loss.
During pregnancy, the chemistry and hormones of a woman’s body changes. Pregnant women have a heightened level of progesterone and estrogen. When these levels drop suddenly after delivery, this causes their hair to slip into the resting or telegen stage. Once the child has been born, the “resting” hair follicles begin to fall out. Most commonly, hair loss after pregnancy occurs between three and six months after pregnancy.
Another reason why hair loss is associated with pregnancy is that many women take oral contraceptives for some time until they wish to become pregnant, and then discontinue the birth control. Discontinuing birth control also causes hair loss in women for the same hormonal reasons. Since many women discontinue their oral contraceptives just before pregnancy, they associate this hair loss with pregnancy, when sometimes it is due to discontinuing birth control.
There is no real cure for this hair loss because it is temporary. But it is important to realize that in most cases involving hair loss after pregnancy, the new hair is already growing in while old hair is falling out. Therefore, the situation is temporary and will remedy itself.
Anyway congratulation on the new baby......
Congratulations with your baby!
I have great news for you:
Women who experience hair loss during or immediately following pregnancy or after surgery should not be alarmed. Chances are, these are temporary conditions and will right themselves. Poor diet and lack of exercise can be culprits as well. The important thing is to rule out any of the simpler, temporary causes and set your mind at ease.
In any case I would like to recommend simple things that will definitely help you. I went over the same when I had my baby:
1. Stop using harsh shampoos – those with surfactants (lathering ingredients) are tough on hair and can cause early demise of hair strands.
2. Stop using dry heat methods of drying and styling. Get a hair style that does not require so much blow-drying or, worse, curling irons.
3. Stop coloring and treating so much – these processes damage hair, and, as it is brushed or combed, greater loss will be the result
4. Fix your diet – well-balanced meals, particularly high in protein and natural oils can help.
5. Exercise more to increase the blood supply to your scalp. Increased blood supply can help to keep follicles healthy and producing.
6. Try to reduce your reactions to stress and anxiety. If you have normal stressors that are typical in your day, find time to relax and get peaceful. Yoga and other forms of meditation can help to reduce your stress and anxiety.
7. Try “natural remedies” – these include essential oils and herbs which, in various mixtures, can be spread on the scalp and help follicles to remain open and healthy.
Natural Hair Loss solution is the best !
All those unnatural ways to grow hair with harsh chemicals and by plugging in hair transplants are earning huge corporations billions of dollars and doctors hundreds of thousands of dollars each year.
Why would they be foolish enough to promote something that would cost you less than $15 in grocery store stuff that are able to naturally regrow your lost hair ?
How To Re-grow Your Lost Hair Safely :

A natural approach is consider a more safer way of re-growing lost hair compared to those unnatural ways that may involve harsh chemicals which may cause serious side effects.

I think so by experience. I heard that it is due to the lack of some minerals or vitamins specially if the mother breastfeeds.
Maybe, it is also caused by hormonal changes or imbalances. Hormones place a large role in woman’s hair loss and it can be caused by an overactive thyroid, menopause, pregnancy or other hormonal changes.
There are three basic types of woman’s hair loss: 1) androgenic alopecia, 2) Telogen effluvium and 3) alopecia areata. There are less common causes of the condition as well. The most common cause of treatment of androgenic alopecia are those directed at hormonal alterations in the system.
