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 ... ...and it all happens because of pregnancy hormones!

Doesn't it feel unfair to go through all the trauma of childbirth and looking after a new baby only to have your hair fall out too?

Hair loss after pregnancy usually starts around 3 months after childbirth

When your hormones return to their pre-pregnancy levels, your hair should return natually to its regular pattern of hair growth and loss.

You'll need to be prepared for this to take some time to happen ... it make take many months!

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

Make sure that you follow a healthy diet to encourage hair growth. Iron is essential for the healthy growth of your skin, hair and nails. Iron is found in 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.

Rogaine for Women is an excellent product but 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 is essential for every woman, both before and after pregnancy.

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