During pregnancy most women will experience a fuller head of hair, however, along with your little bundle of joy comes some other rather trying factors of having a baby. Along with the common sleep loss and mood swings, you may notice that your hair begins to shed, or even that clumps of hair are falling out. Don\u2019t panic! This is very common and you\u2019re not alone.<\/p>\n

85-95% of your hair is in the growth phase at any time, and during pregnancy your body will experience huge levels of estrogen and progesterone which will lengthen this growth phase, resulting in thicker hair. However, after pregnancy you hair isn\u2019t always so kind to you. Your hair will remain in the resting phase for an average of 3 months before it starts to shed and new growth starts. Normally you would lose an average of 80 hairs a day, however, new mums can lose a massive 400 hairs a day.<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/a>How to cope<\/h2>\n

There are several things you can do at home that will benefit your hair during these months. Reducing stress (sometime difficult when raising a newborn!) in general and where possible will help. Remember, stressing and worrying about losing hair won\u2019t help you, you\u2019re not alone and this will most likely pass like the other slightly favourable elements of pregnancy.<\/p>\n

Keeping a healthy diet with lots of protein, more nourishing shampoo and conditioner, and using a brush that won\u2019t stress or pull your hair will also help to decrease the likelihood of your locks shedding. Don\u2019t be afraid to shampoo often either, there is a common misconception that washing your hair regularly increases hair loss but this isn\u2019t necessarily the truth. In fact, the frequency at which you wash your hair shouldn\u2019t have an impact on the amount of hair you lose at all. Boosting the blood flow to your scalp, also recommended by many, can help to feed your roots, promoting growth. You can do this by massage, using kneading motions on your scalp for 2-3 minutes every morning.<\/p>\n
