How to reduce postpartum hair loss for moms
“Postpartum hair loss” is probably one of the most searched phrases of postpartum mothers. Some mothers also call this “nightmare” when looking in the mirror and brushing their hair every day, Because the amount of hair loss is often high, it causes mothers to experience a lot of stress. Understanding this concern of women, Omnia would like to reveal a few “small but martial” tips to treat postpartum hair loss.
To reduce postpartum hair loss, first, we need to find out the cause
Every day, each person can lose 50-100 hairs in a day. New hair is constantly growing to replace old and lost hairs. However, if one day you realize that your hair is experiencing an unusual amount of hair loss, that’s when you need to find out the cause to avoid the worst case, when the damaged hair follicle will be difficult to recover / regrow hair.
To know how to treat postpartum hair loss, let’s learn about the causes of hair loss. Omnia would like to summarize the 3 main causes of hair loss as follows:
- Due to changes in hormones. Postpartum hair loss in women can be related to two important hormones, estrogen and prolactin. After the birth of a baby, the level of estrogen in the body tends to decrease. When the amount of estrogen is low, the rate of hair loss will increase rapidly, causing more hair loss, even in patches. Next, the body secretes the hormone prolactin – a hormone that stimulates the milk glands, which is secreted during breastfeeding. This hormone can inhibit the production of estrogen, which is the cause of hair loss during this period
- Due to nutritional deficiencies. This is also a common cause when the mother’s body focuses on nutrition to nourish the fetus and later increases milk to feed the baby, making the body vulnerable to malnutrition. Insufficient blood circulation will make the hair follicles weak and easy to break even with light impacts such as brushing or combing hair.
- Postpartum stress is also the main cause of hair loss. The pressure of changing schedules, the pressure of “raising healthy children – teaching good children” and many other invisible pressures change the mother’s physiology. Prolonged stress can lead to depression after, prolonged stress… hair loss is a consequence of this stress. At that time, it is easy to repeat a cycle when you are stressed, leading to hair loss, then because of hair loss, continue to add stress, causing your hair to fall into an irreversible position.
So how long will postpartum hair loss for moms last?
Omnia’s answer is that it’s entirely up to you. From recognizing yourself going through the process of hair loss to determining the cause, choosing the right postpartum hair loss treatment,… how much time depends on whether you focus on improving your condition. Where’s your hair?
After giving birth, due to a decrease in the hormone estrogen, hair loss usually starts from the 2nd to 4th month and lasts about 6 months. Mothers do not worry because this is just a normal response of the body to balance hormones as well as concentrate nutrients in breast milk. After this period of time, when the hormones have rebalanced, you will see an improvement in hair loss. However, you need to have a complete and reasonable diet to support hair growth.
In addition, after giving birth, iron and zinc are two minerals women need to supplement if there are signs of hair loss more than usual. A deficiency of these two minerals in the body’s red blood cells decreases, reducing the process of transporting nutrients to the hair.
