Postpartum hair loss home remedies

Causes of postpartum hair loss?

As per AAD, onaverage, we lose 50-100 hair per day. However, during pregnancy, the elevated levels of oestrogen interrupt this process, and most of our hair enters the resting phase of the hair cycle. As a result, rather than falling out, our hair stays on our heads, giving us the desired volume. Hormone levels rise during pregnancy, causing your hair to spend more time in the resting phase known as telogen.

However, after giving birth, you may notice that all of the hair you didn't lose during your pregnancy begins to fall out and shed. This is why, in the months following your baby's delivery, you may experience postpartum hair loss.

Is Hair Loss After Childbirth Permanent?

Hair loss increases after having a baby; however, this does not mean you will lose your hair permanently. Over time, your hair should return to its normal growth patterns. By the time your child is a year old, you can expect your hair to be as full at the roots as it usually is. However, it will be shorter than the existing hair on your head.

You should consult your homeopathic doctor if your hair continues to thin or does not appear to be growing back. Other health problems, such as anemia or a thyroid problem could cause extreme hair loss.

Food to prevent hair fall

Preventing hair loss and preserving excellent health can be as simple as eating a balanced and nutritious diet during and after pregnancy. To recover all of your body's lost minerals and nutrients, drink enough water and eat a well-balanced diet.
To maintain a healthy diet, make sure to incorporate foods from these categories:

• Oysters, fatty fish, and shrimp

• Flax seeds and nuts

• Berries and fruits

• Spinach and other green leafy veggies

• Sweet potatoes

• Eggs

• Beans

Antioxidant-rich foods offer good protection to hair follicles. Vitamins A, C, D, and E, as well as vital proteins like biotin, should be included in your daily diet.
