Sudiksha Dhir DhirMom of a 7 yr 9 m old girl3 years agoA. Postpartum hair loss is a temporary phenomenon. It lasts only for the first few months after pregnancy, and with a little care and looking after, your hair comes back to normal by the time your little one turns a year old. A prenatal vitamin supplement can really help in controlling the loss of hair post-pregnancy. Consult your physician before taking prenatal vitamins.
Eating healthy and right is very important after pregnancy. It helps keep your hair healthy too.
Be extra gentle to your hair while washing or combing. Use voluminous shampoo for your hair and wash your hair only when necessary. Also, use combs with widely spaced teeth.
Avoid using heat directly on your hair. It may cause irreversible damage. It is best to skip blow dryers as well as hot irons.
Avoid tight hairstyles that will pull your hair and cause them to break from the root.
Avoid stress. Stay calm and enjoy your time with your little one.
Try donning a shorter hairstyle with increased volume.
