New Mom, New Hair Journey: Let’s Grow Together
Why Some New Moms Experience Hair Loss After Giving Birth
Hormones play a major role during and after pregnancy. When you’re pregnant, your estrogen levels are elevated, which frequently gives your hair that full, thick appearance. But after giving birth, those hormone levels drop, causing additional hair to enter the resting phase (a phenomenon called telogen effluvium).
This is why most women notice their hair starts falling around 2-4 months postpartum. This shedding may persist for months, particularly when combined with:
- Emotional stress from the challenges of motherhood
- Vitamin deficiencies and poor nutrition
- A shift in lifestyle and sleep patterns
Understanding those changes is the first step to managing and preventing more postpartum hair loss with gentle, natural care.
What Does Postpartum Hair Loss Look Like? Common Signs to Notice
Wondering if what you’re experiencing is normal? Here are the common signs of postpartum hair thinning:
- Excessive hair shedding when brushing or in the shower
- Visible hair thinning at the hairline or temples
- Clumps of hair falling out in the shower or on your pillow
- A shift from thick hair to fine hair or thin hair texture
As unsettling as it may seem, this phase is usually temporary and controllable with mindful postpartum hair care.
