Hair Loss After Pregnancy;
How to Cope and What to Do!

Hair loss after pregnancy (telogen effluvium) is very common!

Did you know that more than 20 million women in the US suffer some sort of hair loss problem and around 40% of them are under 40 years old!

Female hair loss is a devasting condition to come to terms with at any time ... but when it happens to you post-natally, it can make you feel even more sad, angry or depressed than ever ...

Hair loss after pregnancy usually starts around 3 months after childbirth

Some find that their hair falls out in clumps ... others just notice more hair on the pillow and in their hairbrush than before.

When your hormones return to their pre-pregnancy levels, your hair should return natually to its' regular pattern of hair growth and loss ... but be prepared for this to take some time ... possibly many months ... to happen.

How to manage your hair loss and help with your hair regrowth

Make sure that you follow a healthy diet to encourage hair growth.

• red meats;
• fish;
• poultry;
• lentils;
• beans and tofu.

It's also vital to make sure you're getting enough protein ... found in meat, fish and nuts

Rogaine for Women (also known as minoxidil ) may be helpful, however it may also cause a temporary increased shedding of hair. It's a liquid that is applied to the scalp twice daily.

As there are known side effects to using Rogaine ... you should seek advice from your doctor or dermatologist before using it ... especially if you are still breastfeeding.

For this reason ... I don't offer a link for you to buy Rogaine for Women online ... I believe that it's an excellent product but that you need your doctor's endorsement to use it.

Focus on eating well ... a good balanced diet with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables ... and at least 8 glasses of water a day.

Over a period of months, your problems with hair loss after pregnancy should disappear!
