Many women face the issue of excessive hair loss after a few months after having a baby. During pregnancy and after the delivery, the body of a woman undergoes several hormonal changes. This also affects the hair growth and in certain cases causes hair loss.
New moms generally face excessive hair fall almost after three to five months of giving birth. This is quite normal and the condition may continue for a few months, according to experts.
Nutritionist Anjali Mukerjee recently shared a video of a few tips to control postpartum hair loss on Instagram. “If you have just delivered a baby I have a tip for the new mothers. Generally, what happens is after delivery women tend to lose a lot of hair within the first three months to six months of delivery. There are multiple reasons for that, declining hormone levels are the main reason,” she wrote.
