If you’ve noticed increased shedding after pregnancy, you’re not alone. This temporary condition, known as telogen effluvium, affects up to 50% of women post-birth.
During pregnancy, high levels of oestrogen and progesterone extend the hair’s growth phase (anagen phase), leading to thicker, fuller locks. However, post-partum, these hormone levels rapidly decline, shifting many hairs into the telogen (resting) phase, resulting in excessive shedding.

Several biological factors contribute to women’s hair loss after pregnancy:
1. Hormonal Fluctuations
Pregnancy hormones prolong the hair growth cycle, but once hormone levels return to pre-pregnancy states, shedding begins. Studies have shown a direct correlation between oestrogen withdrawal and postpartum hair shedding.
2. Thyroid Imbalances
Postpartum thyroiditis, a temporary condition where the thyroid becomes inflamed, can contribute to androgenetic alopecia-like symptoms. Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism have been linked to hair thinning and brittleness.
3. Iron Deficiency
Blood volume increases during pregnancy, but post-delivery, many women experience a drop in iron levels, particularly if they have experienced heavy bleeding. Since iron is crucial for hair follicle health, low levels can weaken hair strands and contribute to shedding.

The good news is that postpartum hair loss is temporary. Shedding typically starts around 2-4 months after giving birth and can last up to 12 months before hair naturally returns to its pre-pregnancy thickness. If excessive hair loss persists beyond this period, seeking medical advice is recommended.

While postpartum shedding is a natural process, certain hair growth treatments can support faster, healthier regrowth:
The Dr Tass HAIR Vitamin Complex is a natural, nutrient-rich supplement designed to support postpartum hair regrowth. Formulated with essential vitamins and minerals, it helps replenish what the body needs to restore thicker, fuller hair naturally.
