Postpartum Hair Loss

Post pregnancy hair loss is very common. Generalised thinning which results in the unexpected occurrence of visible scalp is very often seen these days among young mums. 

In fact we see it more now than we did even ten years ago. If you weren’t expecting this to happen, you may be worried by the unexpected occurrence of this “male problem”.

Don’t worry, you’re not alone and there are some things you can do to feel confident again. Here’s what you need to know about post-pregnancy hair loss.mum-with-baby-tearing-hair-out

Why? WHY?!

While it doesn’t happen after every pregnancy, post-pregnancy hair loss is pretty common. You may even be on your second or third child and be experiencing this phenomenon for the first time, don’t panic, it will grow back.

Normally, your hair cycles through 3 stages: anagen (growing), catagen (resting) and finally telogen (resting/falling). During pregnancy, your higher levels of oestrogen prolong the growth phase which means you have fewer hairs in the resting/falling stage and your hair is thick and lustrous. Once you’ve given birth, these oestrogen levels fall and cause (amongst other things!) a lot of hairs to enter the resting/falling stage. This usually only lasts a few months and most women have their pre-pregnancy hair back within the year.

What can I do about it?

While you can’t stop your hair from falling out, you can make it look less noticeable. BOOSTnBLEND has become many women’s best friend during this period of their lives; many have told us that thanks to BOOSTnBLEND, no one had even noticed!
