The Reasons For Hair Loss In Women
Hair loss is actually more common than most people realize. Most women actually experience a small amount of hair loss while pregnant, even if they don’t realize it. Along with a lot of other changes that occur as a side effect of pregnancy, hormones often cause hair to fall out. Hair loss during pregnancy may be minimal in one woman, but may be very noticeable in another woman.
About half an inch a month for two to six years ninety percent of the hair grows on your head.The remaining 10% are in resting phase and stay for two to three months before falling out.Hair growth cycle lasts for 2 to 6 years.Each hair grows approximately 1 centimeter (less than half an inch) per month during this phase. About 90 percent of the hair on your scalp is growing at any one time. About 10 percent of the hair on your scalp, at any one time, is in a resting phase. After 2 to 3 months, the resting hair falls out and new hair starts to grow in its place. It is normal to shed some hair each day as part of this cycle. However, some people may experience excessive (more than normal) hair loss.
Excessive hair growth in pregnancy is similar to hirsutism, they may be a growth in some parts of your body which you either never expected or never seen before. This is a common problem and nothing to worry about it.
During pregnancy hormone levels return back to normal after the delivery of the baby, hair will return to its normal growth pattern. Because much of your hair will now be coming out of the resting phase, it will likely seem that you’re losing a lot of hair, especially since much of it will appear to fall out at roughly the same time. If you feel that you are losing too much hair or are starting to notice patches of missing hair, though, make an appointment with your health care provider. This could indicate a medical problem or a lack of some vitamins and minerals.
During pregnancy there is an increase in the level of estrogen hormones. Estrogen causes hair to remain in the growing phase and stimulates the growth of your hair. While you are pregnant, you should expect a full luxurious head of hair. Also try covering up hair loss by putting your hair up into a ponytail or other hair accessories. Headbands often do a great job of covering up hair loss that is obvious on the scalp. Play with all of these things, or just ignore the hair loss, as it’s usually very temporary! If the hair loss makes you extremely uncomfortable, you can try better options such as hair loss treatments.
These are 2 concoctions that I absolutely love. Depending on your hair type you may need to add or reduce the amounts for your hair.
