Pregnancy Hair Care Tips – Safe and natural methods

Pregnancy Hair Care Tips – Safe and natural methods.

Undoubtedly, it is one of the most beautiful and transformational phases in a woman’s life; however, besides the joys of motherhood, it does bring with it major hormonal and physical changes that may take a toll on your skin, hair, and overall well-being.

Hair fall during pregnancy or hair fall after pregnancy is a condition most pregnant women and new moms go through, and for most people, it may raise a number of questions in their minds. Though this is a temporary phase and very natural, improper care or nutritional deficiencies can worsen the scenario.

Dr. Vaseem Choudhary and his team at Homeo Care Clinic offer Homeopathic treatment and natural hair restoration that are safe both in pregnancy and the post-pregnancy stage. In this comprehensive guide, we will discuss causes of hair changes, effective hair care tips during pregnancy, and how to regrow hair after pregnancy naturally and safely.

Understanding Hair Changes During Pregnancy 

Hormonal changes of pregnancy have a big effect on your hair cycle. Estrogen is higher during pregnancy, which prolongs the growth phase of hair-the anagen phase-which means less falling out than usual. This can make a pregnant woman’s hair appear thicker and fuller.

But this is a short-lived benefit. Once you deliver your baby, the level of estrogen suddenly goes down, and hair that was in the prolonged growth phase enters the shedding or telogen phase; this leads to postpartum hair fall.
