The Best Advice from Moms to Avoid Postpartum Hair Loss

In figures, it is estimated that over 50% of women lose a lot of hair within 3 months of the birth of their baby!
Although this form of “postpartum alopecia” is quite classic and reversible, it often worries young mothers… Because for many, having pretty hair is a symbol of femininity, that we can be in a hurry to find again afterwards.

9 months pregnant. 

But why this hair loss after childbirth?  

And how to remedy it effectively?

We interviewed moms in the JOONE community , who tell us about this phenomenon and give us their best advice.

Why do people lose their hair after giving birth?

Hormones:   
During pregnancy, the estrogen level increases massively in pregnant women, which prolongs the life of her hair.  For 9 months, they are therefore more vigorous, thicker and shinier.
But at the time of childbirth, this estrogen level will suddenly drop ... dragging your pretty mane with it!  This is called a   reaction drop   .

Stress:
The arrival of a baby is often a stressful stage for mothers.  In addition to fatigue (linked to   lack of sleep  when   returning  to   work  …) this can lead to hair loss.

Postpartum  hair   loss  :   JOONE mothers testify  ...

“I felt like I had a 'sun crown' on my scalp, due to the lack of hair on the top of my head!”
Laura H.

“Tonight, I felt jealousy for my brush, which had more hair than me!”
Tiffany M.

“I could make cushions with them so much I lose them!  I will end up finding myself bald… ”
Jessica M.

“ Two months after giving birth and for 4 months after, there is also the period of regrowth: we are then covered with little hair! ”

The best tips from moms to prevent hair loss and regrow hair after childbirth

  I did an oral  and topical   anti-hair loss treatment  over 3 months.  Already, at the end of a month we see the end of the fall.
Mélanie M.

“I took vitamin B5 / B6 / B8 supplements as soon as I gave birth to prevent reactive hair loss.  Compared to my first pregnancy, I saw a difference! ”
Soline F.

“I applied castor oil in a scalp massage twice a week.  This oil is a bit thick and sticky, so not always very easy to handle.  But it helps the hair to grow faster, because it activates the capillary microcirculation! ”
Lucie D.

“Three months after giving birth… I did a cure against hair loss, suddenly… because it scared me too much!”
Viviche M.

“Brewer's yeast can work!  
Sophie D.
