My baby is 3 months now and my hair is falling in clumps, like i see it everywhere on the floor and pillow. Nobody warned me it would be this bad yaar. Is there anything that actually helps or do i just wait it out? pls share ur experience.
Babe, don't stress too much about the hair fall, it happens to literally all of us! It's just your hormones resetting after the baby. Just eat your green veggies, keep taking your vitamins, and wait it out—it gets better!
You can try applying a paste of soaked methi seeds or fresh aloe vera gel on your scalp to nourish it naturally. But if you feel extreme hair loss along with severe fatigue, check with your doctor once to rule out thyroid issues.
When I was at my mummy's house, she used to gently oil my hair twice a week with warm coconut oil and feed me dry fruit laddoos. That love and care, plus keeping up with doctor's vitamins, slowly brought my hair health back.
In our house, my mother made special curry leaves oil for my hair. While the oil kept my scalp healthy, my doctor explained that internal nutrition is what actually controls the shedding. So, take your vitamins daily along with a good diet.
I know how heartbreaking it is to see chunks of hair falling out after going through so much to have your baby. Please remember it's just a phase and your hair will grow back. Eat a protein-rich diet and be very gentle with yourself.
Honestly, don't waste money on expensive shampoos, they don't stop hormonal hair fall. Just eat clean, take your vitamins, and get a neat haircut that's easy to manage. It peaks around 4 months and then stops automatically.
Postpartum hair fall is called telogen effluvium, and it is completely normal due to falling estrogen levels. My doctor advised me to continue my prenatal vitamins, especially iron and calcium, for at least 3-6 months post-delivery. Also, avoid tight hairstyles to reduce traction.
I am still pregnant and so worried about this happening to me too! My sister told me she lost a lot of hair but it got better after 6 months. Does oiling with homemade onion oil actually help, or is it just hormonal?
