Postpartum hair loss remedy

During my pregnancy, I observed my hair loss was significantly less. But after giving birth to my child, I witnessed hair falling in clumps and it was very depressing, as I already had very short hair.

So I wanted to research on this topic to identify the cause and find the remedy to immediately control the hair fall. So please read the entire post as this is a wholistic approach.

Postpartum hairfall cause

When you are pregnant, you have high levels of estrogen(female sex hormone). This peak in estrogen level decreases your hair loss significantly. This high levels also increase blood volume and the blood circulation which causes less hairfall. That’s why many witness their hair growing well during pregnancy.

After your baby arrives, your hormone levels significantly drop. Your hormone levels will be back to normal within 24 hours, except the lactating hormone. The sudden drop in estrogen makes you loose hair in clumps. But not to worry, this condition will not last long. If you correct your diet and use the hair oil recipe from this blog, I can guarantee you can definitely control hairfall significantly. You can see the changes in less than three months. Your hair will start getting back the glow and will grow in a healthy way.

So mommies,now you know the reason for hair loss, is not the stress of looking after a newborn.

Diet

If you take a helathy postpartum diet, it will predominantly fix most of the issues. Include lots of vegetables, fruits and leafy greens in your diet. As you are going to feel hungry most of the time, binge eating of unhealthy food may result in various issues. I took this part very lightly and gained a lot of weight during this time. Your body is recovering and you also have a newborn demanding your fullest attention. So if you plan appropriately and stick to a healthy diet, it will regulate your breastmilk supply and also avoid from becoming obese.

Water

Drink plenty of water.Staying hydrated is the key to avoid most health issues.It will also help you in increasing milk flow for breastfeeding.

Vitamins

Postpartum vitamins are very essential. You will be given Vitamin D,B6,B12,Calcium and iron supplements. These vitamins help to boost immunity and RBC production hence keeping you energetic. Studies say lack of Vitamin D is one of the reasons for postpartum depression and if the mother is deficient there are chances that baby might also be deficient. I know most of the time, we forgot to take such supplements ignoring it without knowing how useful it is. At birth infants have very low vitamin and the baby depends on you through breastfeeding to meet it’s daily needs. B12 is very essential for baby’s developing nerves. Nobody tells you all this. So without realizing it’s importance we do not follow it.
