Don't worry, Bian Xiao will share the coping strategies for postpartum hair loss for mothers who are or will face hair loss today!
Three causes of postpartum alopecia First of all, postpartum alopecia is a normal physiological phenomenon, which generally does not form male alopecia, and most of the hair loss parts are in the front of the head 1/3. With the gradual recovery of secretion level in postpartum body, alopecia will stop on its own and recover in about 6 months. Postpartum alopecia has three reasons:
1, hormone regulation
When a woman is pregnant, the estrogen secretion in her body is strong, which leads to slow hair renewal, and the hair follicle has been dormant. The hair that should normally fall off has been in service for a long time. However, after delivery, estrogen in the body began to decrease, hair follicles suddenly entered a state of rapid growth, and hair loss began to increase.
2. Mental anxiety
Although the mother has the joy of welcoming the baby after delivery, she is more concerned about the anxiety of the newborn. Breastfeeding is hard; Day and night routine; Always worrying about the baby's health, coupled with mental stress such as postpartum weakness, will be unconsciously reflected in physiology, resulting in hair loss.
3. Unbalanced nutrition
After giving birth, new mothers often fall into two dietary misunderstandings: one is to make up breast milk desperately, especially in many places. The custom is not to eat vegetables and fruits after giving birth, but to eat all kinds of meat, eggs and soup. The other is to take a diet in order to lose weight quickly after delivery, and only eat vegetables and fruits, not staple food and meat. Both methods are unhealthy, and both methods may lead to a lot of hair loss due to unbalanced nutrition.
In addition to the above three main reasons, untimely postpartum shampoo and improper nursing techniques are also the reasons for postpartum hair loss.
How to prevent postpartum alopecia and clean it
1? Before washing your hair, prepare a comb made of wood or horn with big teeth, comb it along both ends, then move it up slowly, and finally comb it from the root to both ends.

When using, the blowing temperature should be low rather than high. Not suitable for dripping dry hair. The best way is to let your hair dry naturally.
