Delivered 3 months back and my hair is falling in handfuls now, sach me scary lagta hai when I see the comb. Is this normal post delivery? Pls share what worked for u to control it.
I am still pregnant but already terrified of this postpartum hair fall everyone talks about! Are there any gentle hair oils or hair care routines I can start right now to prevent it later?
Listen to me, don't panic when you see hair falling out, it's completely normal postpartum shedding. It will peak around 3-4 months and then get better. Just eat nutritious food, apply mild coconut oil, and don't tie your hair too tightly.
Postpartum hair fall is so heartbreaking, I literally cried seeing clumps in the shower after my C-section. Honestly, it is just hormonal shedding and will stop on its own. Just keep taking your iron and calcium supplements as advised by your doctor during recovery.
Instead of wasting money on expensive anti-hairfall shampoos or clinic treatments, just focus on your diet and basic vitamins. I saved my money for baby's vaccination tests and used simple home-made onion juice which worked quite well and cost almost nothing.
This is just a temporary phase, so stay positive! Your hair density will return back to normal around your baby's first birthday. Just focus on a protein-rich diet and keep using a wide-toothed comb.
