How to deal with postpartum hair loss?

I used my fitness app to track my nutrition post-delivery, ensuring I was getting enough vitamins and minerals, especially iron and biotin. There are also specific apps for new moms that have diet and stress management tips which indirectly help with hair health. Regular head massages with a good oil, maybe once a week, and tracking stress levels also felt beneficial.

Oh, the sheer volume of hair I lost after my baby! I tried so many home remedies. What seemed to help was a weekly oil massage with coconut oil mixed with a little fenugreek powder, and rinsing my hair with rice water. Also, making sure I ate enough protein and avoided tight hairstyles. Be patient, it truly does get better.

Postpartum hair loss? More like 'I'm leaving hair everywhere including the baby's mouth' hair loss. Honestly, between no sleep and a baby glued to me, I just try to brush my hair gently and hope for the best. Eating something vaguely nutritious probably helps. And praying it stops before I'm bald. Send coffee.

Ugh, the shedding is real! 💇‍♀️ But don't worry, mama, it's super common! Just be gentle with your hair, eat well, and try not to stress too much. It will grow back, promise! Think of it as a temporary phase. ✨

My doctor explained that postpartum hair loss is called telogen effluvium, where elevated pregnancy hormones keep hair in the growth phase, and then they all shed at once when hormones drop. She advised me to continue my prenatal vitamins, maintain a balanced diet, and be gentle with my hair, avoiding heat styling. It's usually temporary, and normal hair growth resumes within a year.
