Severe hair loss four months after giving birth

Many women will experience various adverse symptoms after giving birth, and postpartum hair loss is one of them. Many women begin to lose a lot of hair four months after giving birth, and the quality of their hair is much worse than before they had a baby. Many of their hair becomes split and cracked. At this time, the mothers are very anxious and don’t know what to do. So, what is the reason for severe hair loss four months after childbirth? How to solve this problem?

Causes of postpartum hair loss

1. Mental stimulation: Postpartum mothers have to breastfeed and take care of their babies, which causes fatigue and affects their sleep. These will cause hair loss in mothers and form a vicious circle.

2. Changes in hormone levels: The hormone levels of mothers will increase after childbirth, and the rate of hair renewal will slow down, but the body will experience normal hair loss, so there will be a "gap" situation.

3. Nutritional imbalance: Mothers do not have a good diet during breastfeeding, and some mothers go on a diet to lose weight, which leads to nutritional deficiencies or nutritional imbalances, affecting hair growth and metabolism, resulting in severe hair loss.

4. Improper hair care: Not washing or combing your hair after giving birth causes the sebum secretions and dust on the scalp to mix and accumulate together, resulting in insufficient blood supply, making it more likely to cause infection.

Prevention of postpartum hair loss

1. Maintain a good mood: Postpartum mothers are prone to fatigue and may also feel nervous. Keeping a good mood can help breastfeeding better and bring healthy emotions to the baby.

2. Supplement protein: Balanced nutrition, eat more milk, eggs, fish, lean meat, and walnuts. These foods are good for the mother's physical recovery after childbirth.

3. Massage the scalp: Mothers should not pull their hair hard when washing their hair. Try to gently massage the scalp with your fingertips to promote blood circulation.

Postpartum hair loss is not untreatable, but mothers still need to pay attention and coordinate internal and external conditioning. The diet should be balanced, with a scientific and reasonable combination of vegetables and fruits. At the same time, maintain a happy mood, be careful when taking care of your hair, use the correct method, properly promote blood circulation, and accelerate hair growth.
