Hair loss after pregnancy is primarily due to the simple
fact that a woman’s body prefers nourishing the newborn rather than her
hair.
What happens is this: usually, around 85-95% of your hair is
in the growth stage at any time, but hormonal changes during pregnancy encourage
an increase in the percentage of hairs in the growth phase. Consequently, many
women benefit from thicker hair during pregnancy, as more hairs than normal are
growing and a smaller amount than normal are shedding.
There are numerous hair styling techniques suitable for new
mothers. One of the options for keeping hair attractive is using a volumizing
tonic. These types of treatments are water-based and alcohol-free. To use,
shower, towel dry your hair, then spray the tonic 3 times on the aides and top
of your head, bend over and spray another few shots at the underneath of your
hair. Style as usual and expect good volume, shiny hair.
Another idea to correct hair loss after pregnancy is to go
for a better cut or new hair style. Some women prefer to get a shorter haircut
or one that involves less maintenance. Consider having a few highlights woven in
around your face line to highlight facial features.
You can choose hair accessories such as temporary hair
extensions that can be taped with a special kind of tape right onto your
existing hair. The temporary hair extensions last for several days and then can
be safely removed with a solution that comes with them.
Finally, stylish scarves or headbands are the perfect fit for
areas of hair loss near the temple, or over the ears and around the hairline,
which is where most of the post-partum loss is seen.
By adopting these styling tricks, temporary hair loss after
pregnancy can easily be handled and attending any evening event with your new
born is a breeze. And rest assured that your hair's growth cycle will usually
return to normal within a year after the birth of your child.
