Hair Thinning

Postpartum hair loss, also known as postnatal alopecia, is a common condition experienced by many women following childbirth. This type of hair shedding is temporary and typically resolves on its own within a few months. The hair loss is primarily due to hormonal changes in the body that occur after delivery. The increased levels of oestrogen during pregnancy keep your hair in a prolonged growth phase, leading to thicker hair. However, after childbirth, these hormone levels drop, resulting in significant shedding as the hair returns to its normal cycle.

Types of Hair Thinning

Genetic Hair Thinning

Often hereditary, this type is characterised by a gradual reduction in hair thickness and volume.

Age-Related Hair Thinning

Over time, hair naturally begins to grow more slowly and may thin as part of the ageing process.

Factors Contributing to Hair Thinning

Ageing

Natural ageing can result in slower hair growth and thinning of the hair shaft.

Genetics

A genetic predisposition to hair thinning affects how you respond to hormonal changes that can exacerbate hair loss.

Nutritional Deficiencies

Lack of essential nutrients like iron, proteins, and vitamins can lead to diminished hair health.

Stress

Emotional and physical stress can trigger significant hair thinning and loss.

Hormonal Changes

Changes such as menopause or thyroid imbalances can contribute significantly to hair thinning.
