Understanding Postpartum Hair Loss

  • Postpartum hair loss, also known as telogen effluvium, is a temporary condition where new mothers experience excessive hair shedding after childbirth.
  • It is caused by hormonal changes that occur after pregnancy.
  • Hair enters a resting phase during pregnancy and starts shedding postpartum.
  • The condition typically peaks around 3-6 months after delivery and gradually improves.
  • Hair regrowth usually occurs within 6-12 months.
