Many mothers have lost their hair all over the clothes, pillows and floors at home, not to mention holding a big ball in their hands when washing their hair and combing their hair. Anyone who sees this situation will be shocked.

In fact, postpartum alopecia is commonly known as postpartum alopecia, and it is also called "delivery alopecia" in medicine, which refers to a large number or abnormal hair loss after childbirth.

According to statistics, about 35%-40% of women have different degrees of postpartum alopecia. Zhang Xinyi, for example, has publicly expressed her concern about postpartum alopecia.

So, what are the culprits of postpartum hair loss?

In fact, pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding are really great tests for the mother's health, but it is not particularly inevitable with postpartum hair loss.

Four major culprits of postpartum alopecia:

① sudden changes in hormones during pregnancy and postpartum.

Our hair, from growth to shedding, itself has a certain metabolic cycle. We lose our hair unconsciously every day.

However, during the nine months of pregnancy, due to the increase in hormone levels in the body, many hairs that should have fallen off did not fall off on time, but "extended service". You can recall that when you were pregnant, did you feel that your hair was thicker?

After the baby is born, the hormone level in the body will soon drop to the pre-pregnancy level. Therefore, the hair accumulated during pregnancy will fall off in a short time, causing scary scenes.

Postpartum alopecia is a typical acute resting alopecia, the incubation period is 8- 13 weeks, but it can only start in 7 months after delivery. After that, it will take some time for your hair to re-establish its normal metabolic cycle. In short, the recovery of postpartum alopecia will take some time.

② Excessive emotional anxiety and stress.

Emotion is closely related to hair.

There are also people who have suffered great blows or changes, and there is a "white head overnight." After the mother gives birth to the baby, all kinds of pressures will accumulate in front of her for a period of time. For example, baby's health, mother's milk, postpartum recovery and so on.

Under the influence of mental factors, the hair is washed away, and the mental pressure is even greater when you see the hair washed away. This is a vicious circle.

③ Postpartum dietary imbalance

Because pregnancy and childbirth are a huge consumption process for women, postpartum physical recovery and baby care need a lot of nutritional supplements.

If the digestion and absorption function of postpartum mommy is poor, or the diet is too monotonous, or partial eclipse, even some moms go on a diet to keep slim after childbirth. It is prone to nutritional deficiency or imbalance, which leads to insufficient supply of protein, vitamins or minerals in the body, thus affecting the growth and metabolism of hair.

④ improper hair care

According to the popular custom of confinement, some mothers do not wash their hair or comb their hair during confinement. This practice is not only unsanitary, but also makes the hair not well cared for, because the premise of hair health is cleanliness.

The sebaceous glands in the hair follicles at the root of hair are constantly moving, and the oil secreted every day is easy to attach to the dust in the environment, which is easy to block the pores at home and cause hair loss.

Knowing the reason, how can we care for hair from pregnancy and prevent postpartum hair loss?

(1) Strengthen nutrition.

(2) Stay happy.

Postpartum depression, lack of pleasure, sadness, crying, worry, timidity, irritability, nervousness, temper tantrums, and even pessimism, self-harm and suicidal tendencies are most likely to occur.

These bad emotions will aggravate maternal hair loss.

Therefore, women can usually sit still or meditate; You can draw freely, and you can also write happy things with essays; You can also listen to some cheerful songs to adjust your mood and make yourself happy.

(3) care for hair.

Wash your hair regularly and choose a mild and non-irritating shampoo.
