After giving birth to the baby, I began to lose my hair about four or five months ago, one by one, especially on the top of my head, and in the most serious case, a small piece stood out.

Really verified the proverb "children can laugh, but they must lose their hair", which means that when the baby is about three or four months old, the mother begins to lose her hair.

Some old people also said that when a baby recognizes his mother, her mother will lose her hair, which sounds quite unreasonable ~ but the experience of blood and tears of a person who has been there has verified this sentence … Yes! Really! Yes!

Why do you lose your hair after childbirth?

Did you feel your hair was particularly good when you were pregnant? Even if the hair is less at ordinary times, it becomes thicker when you are pregnant?

This is because during pregnancy, the amount of estrogen in pregnant women increases, so that the hair that should have fallen off can be preserved. These hairs have a long life and are in an "overdue service" state.

Once the baby is born, the estrogen content in the body begins to decrease and the proportion of sex hormones in the body returns to the normal balance before pregnancy. Except for normal hair loss, those "overtime" hairs are retired because of the "reduction" of estrogen. At the same time, new hair can't grow at once. This short-term "green and yellow" situation will form hair loss.

To put it bluntly, postpartum alopecia is a physiological phenomenon, not what the elders said: "You can't wash your hair or comb your hair when you are confined to the moon!" Otherwise, headache and hair loss. "

Of course, this kind of hair loss is generally not too serious, it is only a temporary phenomenon. Generally, it will return to the prenatal state in a year or so. However, some hot moms who don't have lush hair before pregnancy may have sparse hair or even bare scalp.

Some new mothers are in a bad mood for various reasons before and after delivery, coupled with many mental pressures from various aspects, such as the unprepared and laborious nursing of newborns, the difficulty of breastfeeding, the upside-down schedule of babies day and night, and the conflict of parenting concepts.

All these negative emotions and heavy psychological burdens will make the body's metabolism disorder and lead to hair loss. Hair loss will become a new mental stimulus, and this cycle will not stop, and hair loss will increase.

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 that they can't eat fresh vegetables and fruits after giving birth, but can only eat all kinds of meat, eggs and soup.

The other is afraid of getting fat after sitting for "one month", which will affect the appearance. In order to lose weight quickly after delivery, I will take a diet, eating only vegetables and fruits, not staple food and meat.

The requirement for nutrition during lactation is higher than usual. Both methods may affect the normal growth and metabolism of hair due to the imbalance of protein, vitamins, inorganic salts and trace elements, thus leading to hair loss.

So, is there any way to reduce hair loss and grow new hair quickly?

Try these anti-detachment methods, maybe it will work?

1. Gently care for hair and scalp.

During hair loss, you should take good care of every hair, choose a shampoo without harmful substances, and it is best to take good care of it with a safe conditioner.

Don't wash your hair too hot. The distance between the hair dryer and the hair should be greater than 15 cm. Don't scratch your hair with your nails, but gently massage with your fingertips. Choosing a wide tooth comb to comb your hair can reduce the pull of the comb on your hair.

Don't tie your hair too tightly. You can also massage your hair like this at ordinary times to promote scalp blood circulation.

Keep a good mood

New mothers should relax themselves and keep a good mood anytime and anywhere. At the beginning of taking care of the baby, most new mothers will feel overwhelmed, plus lack of sleep. Sometimes, because of different parenting concepts, family conflicts increase and there is a lot of inner pressure. Many of them are postpartum depression.

In fact, it is really an old saying that "seedlings don't grow long". To take a step back, no matter which way or method, I hope the baby will grow up healthily.

Choose a good comb

Try to use metal and hard plastic hair combs as little as possible, choose some wood or horny combs with wide teeth, and put them down naturally along your hair. Besides, don't tie your hair too tightly, let alone perm or dye it.

4. Eat a balanced diet to supplement protein.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that kidney governs hair, and "black food" with kidney-tonifying function can also nourish hair, such as black sesame, black dates, black beans, black rice and black fungus. It is also good for postpartum conditioning.

The most important source of nutrition for hair is protein, so mother should supplement some foods rich in protein after delivery, such as milk, eggs, fish and lean meat.

Postpartum alopecia will get better slowly, so don't have too much pressure. If it's not good, you can learn from Christine and go out with a wig. The experience of a person who has been there is that if you keep a good mood and eat properly, you will still bring your hair back.
