Yes, it's normal to lose hair after confinement. Don't freak out - It's hair that didn't fall during pregnancy (which is why you had such amazingly thick hair during pregnancy!) Hair loss will peak in 4th month, reduce slowly from 5th month onwards and could last for about a year. If you really think there's something odd going on, by all means have your iron levels checked. But be also rest assured that hair loss is very common post delivery and during breast feeding. Tips to help with hair loss. 1. Eat lots of almonds, good for hair and nails. 2. Avoid pulling your hair into a tight pony or such. 3. Only use wide tooth comb. 4. I also say coconut oil massaged into scalp will stimulate hair growth and help re growth 5. Folic acid, brewer's yeast, evening primrose oil and vitamin B can help new hair grow but won't stop the hair loss. 6. Recommend using Aveda Invati hair care range. My hair loss slowed down massively after starting to use it. 7. Get a good haircut to make you feel better amidst all the fallout.

yes it is very normal for women to experience hair fall after delivery. if you noticed, there was barely any hairfall during pregnancy and your hair was thicker and better. this is the excess hair that is now falling off, that did not shed then. make sure you speak to your doc if you need any supplements, and also have a nutritious meal plan. include lots of iron, protein and calcium rich foods in your daily diet.

Yes. During pregnancy, I had awesome thick healthy hair but after delivery, because of the changes in hormones, I suffered so much hair loss. Mine started at 4 months, and not that my son is 6+ months, it's not so bad anymore. My friend got me Phyto and it worked for me. It's available in Watsons & Guardians :)
