Part of the larger family of reactive hair loss, postpartum hair loss affects more than one-third of women. But what explains this phenomenon? The hormonal changes observed after childbirth are generally responsible for women’s hair loss.
Indeed, after giving birth to her child, a woman’s hormone levels drop drastically, which has a direct impact on several things, including her hair. From the beginning of pregnancy, estrogen levels gradually increase, keeping the hair in the growth phase. It is not uncommon for a pregnant woman to find her hair healthier, shinier, and silkier during this period. Conversely, once the woman has given birth and her hormones are in free fall, her hair enters the shedding phase. This phenomenon usually occurs between 2 to 3 months after childbirth. Stress, intense fatigue, and certain deficiencies common during pregnancy are also factors that can partly explain hair loss. If you are experiencing postpartum hair loss, it is important to understand that it results from the death of the hair and not its bulb. This means that the hair falls out, but the bulb anchored in the scalp continues to live and can eventually produce a new hair.
Fortunately, postpartum hair loss is not irreversible! It can persist for a long time if appropriate treatments are not sought, but it is not a permanent hair loss.
To effectively combat reactive hair loss, three actions must be taken. First, you need to slow down the loss, stimulate growth, and then strengthen the hair. To do this, there are hair products specifically designed to support these three actions!
