Postpartum Hair Loss
Dermatology.svhm.org writes Postpartum Hair Loss, They writes "Postpartum hair loss is not permanent hair loss, Normally around 100,000 hairs grow in the scalp and usually 50-200 hairs are shed each day, The increased hormone levels during pregnancy make the hairs in the scalp grow more than normal, After giving birth the hormone levels return to normal and two to three months later there is increased hair shedding which lasts for two to three months, Hair growth will return to normal three to six months after the hair fall commenced, Postpartum hair loss may occur with each pregnancy"
Kellymom writes Postpartum Hair Loss, They write "Postpartum hair loss commonly starts at around three months after birth. The amount of time between childbirth and the onset of shedding corresponds to the length of the resting phase of hair growth (between 1 and 6 months, with an average of three months). The hair loss can seem more extreme if your hair grew much more than normal during pregnancy, or if you have long hair. Most women will return to their usual hair growth cycle within six months, or between 6 and 12 months after birth."
Lapregnnacy writes Postpartum Hair Loss, They write "The hair loss that many women have after giving birth can be more than a nuisance--occasionally, those shed hairs can get wrapped around baby's toes, creating a "tourniquet" that cuts off the circulation."
Smartmomma writes Postpartum Hair Loss, They write "you may be feeling anxious about the amount of hair you’re losing. Just remember, there were nine months of hardly any hair loss, and your body is just making up for lost time. This temporary hair loss is nothing to worry about, as it usually only lasts from 3 – 6 months postpartum before your hair is back to normal."
