How to Conceal Hair Loss Following Pregnancy

By: Antoinette Boulay

Many women suffer from gradual or sudden hair loss after pregnancy, known as Postpartum Alopecia.

Hair loss after pregnancy is seen at different times; it could be after parturition or after nursing stops. It is common for women to get startled when seeing clumps of hair coming out during a shower or brushing their hair. Most of these women will experience hair loss some time after pregnancy- up to around six months after childbirth.

Hair loss after pregnancy is primarily due to the fact that a woman\'s body is nourishing the newborn rather than her hair. Usually, around 85-95% of your hair is in the growth stage at any time, but hormonal shifts during pregnancy encourage an increase in the percentage of hairs in the growth phase. Consequently, many women benefit from thicker hair during pregnancy, as more hairs than normal are growing and a smaller amount than normal are shedding. There are numerous hair style techniques suitable for new mothers. One of the options for keeping hair attractive is using volumizing tonic. These types of treatments are water-based and alcohol-free. To use, shower, then towel dry your hair, spray the tonic 3 times on the top and sides of your head, bend at the waist and spray another few shots at the underside of your hair. Style as usal and expect good volume, shiny hair.

Another idea to correct hair loss after pregnancy is to go for a better cut or new hair style. Some women prefer to get a shorter haircut or one that involves less maintanance. Consider having a few highlights woven in around your face line to highlight facial features.

You can choose hair accessories such as temporary hair extensions that can be taped with a special kind of tape right onto your existing hair. The temporary hair extensions last for several days and then can be safely removed with a solution that comes with them. Finally, stylish scarves or headbands are the perfect fit for areas of hair loss near the temple, or over the ears and around the hairline, which is where most of the post-partum loss is seen.

By adopting these styling tricks, temporary hair loss after pregnancy can easily be handled for attending any evening event with your new born. And rest assured that your hair\'s growth cycle will usually return to normal within a year after the birth of your child.
