What Causes Post-pregnancy hair loss in women?

Generally, an average women loses anywhere from 30 to 100 hair strands per day. However, during pregnancy the rate of hair fall decreases to a great extent and it happens because of the same reason i.e. hormonal imbalance.

For an average women, around 10%-15% of the hair strands are always in rest phase and in medical terms the phase is known as telogen phase and during this phase the hair tend to fall off while brushing and washing. While this happens the rest of the hair are in growing phase and transitional phase.

The growing phase in medical terms is known as Anagen phase and as the name suggests the hair are in growing stage and around 80%-90% of the scalp hair are in this phase. The third stage is the Transition phase which is medically known as Catagen Phase and around 2%-3% of the hair are in this phase at a particular instant of time. During pregnancy,  the increase in the amount of hormones like estrogen and progesterone decreases the hair fall rate and thus minimal amount of hair loss is experienced.

Moreover, the hair strands become thicker which make them stronger and shinier.

But once the delivery is done the increased hormone levels ease off and are restored to normal levels. Thus the hair which were till now in protected phase go back to normal phase and thus start to fall off.

This stage becomes a reason to worry as it continues for anywhere around 1 month to six months and thus hair loss can be severe. However, no visible baldness has been experienced by any of the women during this phase but still you may experience extensive hair fall.

After this phase new hair will start to grow and the normal hair growth cycle will take its place.

In alternative reasons, lack of nutrition for the mother and stress can be other reasons for post pregnancy hair loss.
