The thrills of becoming a mother are many—however so are the pains and challenges! One thing most new moms endure in the course of being pregnant, and then later during breastfeeding, is sudden hair loss. For moms who aren’t used to experiencing hair loss, this could be disheartening. Here’s a few facts that all moms ought to know regarding pregnancy and hair loss.
The Hair Loss is Usually Temporary
In the same way that a woman’s body doesn’t stay the way it is when pregnant, along with the many discomforts mothers endure during pregnancy ending after giving birth, so does the hair loss. It can be temporary, and a lot of moms say their hair growth goes back to normal within a year or so after their child is born.
Take Vitamins for Hair Health
Throughout the stages of aging, our bodies need various vitamins and nutrients to keep the body on track. Mothers can take all the right prenatal vitamins but they ought to also talk to their physician about the vitamins needed to promote hair health by nourishing the cuticles and roots.
Try Wearing Wigs
Wigs have gotten a bad rap in the past, but today’s wigs are customized and are made with human hair to give a realistic appearance. Trying on different wigs is one way to cover your hair loss while feeling better about yourself, even if you’re experiencing intense fatigue or hair loss. Wigs are available in all colors, styles and lengths.
Keep Up Self Grooming
Many expecting moms allow themselves to forget about keeping up their beauty routines. This is totally understandable—they are focusing all their attention on the new baby and the rest of the family members. But mothers should see the significance of self-care as well by taking the time to strut a new hairstyle, a new outfit, and go out on dates with their husbands. When a woman feels great, she looks great, too. Be sure to keep in mind that flat irons and harsh chemicals can damage your hair even more, so go easy on your strands during your pregnancy.
