5 ways to treat postpartum hair loss

What moms must know if they don't want chronic hair fall

Postpartum hair fall is a problem that occurs naturally, but it's worrying for many moms, because although postpartum hair fall isn't a dangerous symptom and doesn't happen to every mom, moms who face postpartum hair fall lose more hair than normal, so it may develop from postpartum hair fall into very heavy hair fall until the hair thins.

Why does postpartum hair fall happen?

Postpartum hair fall is caused by changes in the body's hormone levels. During pregnancy, the mom's estrogen rises very high, so hair grows well, is thick and healthy, and falls less. But after giving birth, estrogen levels drop sharply, and the hair that stopped falling during pregnancy re-enters the same hair-fall cycle and falls all at once, so postpartum hair fall occurs. Moms with postpartum hair fall may face the problem continuously for 1-6 months and then return to normal (depending on each mom). But we believe postpartum hair fall makes moms quite worried and stressed, because it can make hair thin. Moms can cope with postpartum hair fall with these ways to fix postpartum hair fall:

Ways to fix postpartum hair fall

Cut your hair shorter This is a way to fix postpartum hair fall that doesn't directly help reduce postpartum hair fall, but it can help hair fall less too, because caring for short hair is easier than long hair. Cutting hair short and caring for the hair at the same time helps reduce postpartum hair fall.
Avoid coloring hair No matter how much you want to color your hair beautifully, especially moms facing postpartum hair fall, it's even more not recommended, because the chemicals from coloring may go in and damage the hair and scalp, making the hair weak, and may make hair fall worse than before.
Comb hair gently and avoid heat Every time you comb, comb gently; if hair is tangled, we recommend using a wide-tooth comb or your fingers instead. Importantly, it's not recommended to comb hair when wet, because hair breaks easily. In addition, you should avoid using heat such as hot blow-dryers and flat irons; switch to drying hair with cool air or use a heat-protectant product every time.
Eat hair-nourishing foods This is an important method that shouldn't be overlooked. Moms with postpartum hair fall should eat all 5 food groups for complete nutrients, and we recommend eating foods rich in iron, such as meat, fish, spinach, and foods with zinc (Zinc), such as liver, eggs, brown rice, and various green leafy vegetables, to nourish the hair and scalp and help reduce postpartum hair fall.
Choose products gentle on the hair and scalp and free of chemicals that may cause irritation or allergies, to help fix postpartum hair fall. We recommend AloEx hair-fall-reduction products, which help nourish the hair and scalp, stimulate blood circulation to deliver food to nourish the hair well, make hair strong, help reduce hair fall, postpartum hair fall, fix thinning hair, and stimulate new hair that's stronger than before, bringing hair back to being thick and healthy again.
