Postpartum Hair Loss- a Nightmare for Lactating Mums?
William R. Nabaza of http://www.nabaza.com/beauty.htm

Postpartum hair loss is the hair loss noticed after pregnancy. The main reason for postpartum hair loss is the action of hormones that are prevalent during pregnancy. The hormones are produced during pregnancy excessively, which leads to changes in skin and other body parts. Many pregnant women will notice that their hair is a lot thicker than normally.

The postpartum hair loss starts after the birth of the baby since the hair in growth phase of the hair cycle try to attend maturity. After completion of three months, the hair enters into the growth phase and new hair have replaced the old hair. The amount of postpartum hair loss varies between individuals with some women experiencing more shedding than others. In families where the hair thinning is inherited, the shedding of hair is more noticeable after childbirth.

In general the postpartum hair loss lasts for at least six months and then the re-growth of hair is noticed. The majority of women will notice that the hair attains its pre-pregnancy state again within six months after childbirth.

The postpartum hair loss requires no treatment, because it is a temporary transformation in the growth cycle of hair due to hormonal alteration during pregnancy.

In spite of the normal process of postpartum hair loss, the excessive hair falling can be controlled to some extent. Hair will be removed easily due to excessive brushing after childbirth. So it is always advised to avoid excessive brushing. Rubbing preparations into the scalp or taking vitamins may bring some positive results. Postpartum hair loss does occur after every pregnancy.

You can go for wigs of different pattern to hide excessive thinning of hairs due to postpartum hair loss. Since the postpartum hair loss is a temporary condition, it will make your life somewhat better. Since a good wig is found to be too expense, it is up to you to select whether it is required or not.

If you notice excessive postpartum hair loss after giving birth to a baby, hair re-growth can easily be achieved by using hair loss products such as Viviscal, Nisim, Revivogen, and Tricomin. These hair re-grow products are usually available in the form of scalp lotions, conditioner, and shampoos. Hair Renew, a special product for women, cleanses the scalp, neutralizes the DHT and nourishes the hair follicles to prop up healthy hair growth.

Poor nutrition and modern lifestyles can act as a predisposing factor for postpartum hair loss. Adopting stringent dietary pattern can prevent excessive postpartum hair loss. By eating appropriate levels of useful carbohydrates, eating adequate amounts of protein, and achieving a healthy balance of dietary fats, you can achieve a good nutritional status to avoid postpartum hair loss.
