Postpartum Hair Loss Is Normal — and It Means Your Body Is Resetting
That sudden shedding can feel alarming, but it’s expected.
🧬 During pregnancy, high estrogen keeps hair in the growth phase, so fewer strands fall out. After birth, estrogen drops — and all that “extra” hair sheds at once.
⏳ What to expect:
• starts around 3–4 months postpartum
• peaks over a few weeks
• gradually improves by 9–12 months
💡 It’s not true hair loss — it’s a delayed shed. New growth is already happening.
🌱 Gentle care, nutrition, and patience help — but time is the real fix.
You’re not going bald — your body is just returning to its normal rhythm.
