What is pre and post natal hair loss?
Women are said to be at their most radiant when they’re expecting. A full head of beautiful hair, a face glowing with bliss and happiness…these women should have no worries in the world at all. So why do they have to put up with hair loss? Let’s take a look at this picture again. During gestation, women will be feeding on all sorts of antibiotics, causing the immune system and functions to go haywire, thus causing hair loss.
After childbirth, because of the massive amount of blood lost as well as the major changes in the blood circulation and metabolic rate, the hormones will struggle to readjust. 3 to 5 months after delivery, about 30% of hair may be lost. Similarly, these women will also experience hair loss, due to poor stamina and health after childbirth.
Characteristics of post-natal hair loss
- Hair loss 3 to 5 months after childbirth
- Hair loss can amount to about 50%
- In more serious cases, hair loss can occur in patches

This will make you look old and haggard and not the slightest bit like a new mum. Besides that, your hair loss might become a permanent problem…by then it’ll be too late to regret not taking prior action!
