Postpartum Hair Loss

Postpartum hair loss typically starts around 2-4 months after giving birth. It’s primarily due to hormonal changes after childbirth- specifically the sharp drop in estrogen levels. Postpartum hair loss typically lasts around 3 to 6 months but can vary. Managing postpartum hair loss involves a mix of patience, gentle hair care, and supporting your body’s recovery. Since its hormone driven, you can’t stop it entirely, but you can minimize the impact and promote regrowth. You can also lean into where you’re at and try something fun like getting a good haircut and/or trying different styles!
