After having a baby many women experience excessive shedding, which is normal, often temporary and is caused by changes in hormones.
Usually the hair loss begins about three-to-four months after giving birth but by about one year most women see their hair return to normal. If your hair doesn’t regain its normal fullness book an appointment at SMD. We have on-site hair loss experts who can recommend the right treatment plan.
If you are concerned about post-pregnancy hair loss here are some tips to get you through the shedding period:
- Use a thickening shampoo, which may make your hair appear fuller.
- Choose a conditioner that is specifically formulated for fine hair, which won’t weigh the hair down. Use conditioner only on the ends of the hair to also avoid weighing it down.
- Avoid excessive styling or chemical treatments during this period, which may make hair loss worse.
