Understanding Postnatal Hair Loss
What Is Postpartum Hair Loss?
It’s the excessive shedding of hair that a woman experiences a few months after giving birth. Don’t worry, it’s a very natural process.
During pregnancy, a lot of hormonal shifts happen in your body. One effect of these hormonal changes is that they promote hair growth. Even though you naturally lose some hair strands every day, typically during pregnancy you don’t shed as much as you normally would. This is why you may notice your hair can get longer, look thicker, shiny, and healthy during pregnancy.
After pregnancy, your hormones shift back to normal, signaling the body to resume its normal daily shedding. This is when heavier hair shedding may occur. Talk to one of our certified trichologists to learn more about postpartum hair loss and suitable hair care options. Call 8892-HAIR.

Pregnancy doesn’t just change your body, it can also cause changes in your hair, including postnatal hair loss. When you’re pregnant, the levels of estrogen and progesterone in your body go up. This results in the prolonging of your hair’s anagen phase, which is when your hair is actively regenerating. Estrogen is protective of the hair follicle, allowing for more regeneration and promoting hair growth.
But once you give birth, those estrogen levels go down. So all the hair in the anagen phase immediately converts to the telogen phase, or the resting phase. The hair that you would have naturally shed over the past nine months of pregnancy, you will now shed altogether. This is why the hair loss seems alarmingly excessive.
Postpartum hair loss causes panic in a lot of women who worry that they will lose all their hair forever. Fortunately, it’s a temporary condition. Hair will grow back in a few months as the phases of the hair’s growth cycle go back to normal.
However, the new hair might not look or feel as thick and healthy as before. This is where Svenson comes in. Our hair care treatments after pregnancy are designed to support the appearance of fuller-looking hair, helping hair look and feel thicker, healthier-looking, and better cared for.
