POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy2 years agoA. Losing hair after pregnancy is quite normal, so there is no need to worry. About 85% of our hair grows actively while 15% of it is in resting mode – this 15% usually falls out during hair wash or combing during a period called the shedding period, and it makes way for new hair follicles.The high levels of oestrogen during pregnancy prolong the growing stage of hair. This hormone increases the flow and circulation of blood, thus strengthening the roots. There are very few hairs in resting mode and the overall hair fall is low. As a result of this, women have thicker and stronger hair during pregnancy.
