Female Hair Loss Treatments

When looking up information on hair loss after pregnancy, about the only thing you’ll really find is you have to wait for it to grow back. In like a year. It is nice to know it will come back, but what do you do in the meantime?

When I lost a lot of hair, it was long so it was more noticeable, and my forehead grew from so much loss. The first thing I did was to go make an appointment to get it cut off because I was upset. I sat and spent some time with my hairdresser and found out which part of my hair was the thickest and was less prone to this falling out, and we worked on getting a shorter style that incorporated where I had hair to cover where I was losing so much.

After that, she told me to use hair care products that were made for thin hair and added volume to the strands. There are shampoos and mousse and even weekly treatment to make your hair look thicker which can help while you have to wait for it to grow back in.

The best advice I did get was to stop dying my hair. This can actually make it fall out faster, and caused more damage to the follicle. If you do have to dye it, find a rinse at a beauty supply store. While you can only go with a shade of your natural color, this is much less harmful on your hair then they dying process. I was also told to not wash it every day, so the hair can rest and be less brittle, and I went to washing it every other day, which did help after a few weeks.

It can also be a hormonal balance as well. Eating right, exercising and spending time in the sun can help relieve depression and also help make your hair healthy by allowing your system to revert back to normal faster. Laugh often, since stress can also be a factor in losing your hair and it will help transition into being a new mom easier.

If you really worry about it, go see a doctor. They can help you find vitamins and determine if the hair loss and thinning is from another cause other then having a baby.

You can always do what I did when I got a bald spot. Buy a wig. They are inexpensive now, and I owned them in every color, length and style imaginable. Own them and have fun with it if you go this route.

If you are experiencing hair loss after pregnancy, know that it will grow back. My baby is now over a decade old and I’ve kept to the hair regimen I followed when he was born and it managed to help me keep my hair looking better today then it ever has. All the bald spots and thinness does go away, and I hope you find these tip will help you deal with your own hair loss a little better.
