1. Not taking proper care of hair
According to the Mayo Clinic, after giving birth, women's hair becomes weak and prone to breakage due to hormonal changes. However, not taking proper care of your hair such as using shampoos containing strong chemicals, washing too much or too little, not using conditioners and hair care will make your hair weaker, increasing hair loss.
2. Nutritional deficiencies
Lack of iron, zinc, vitamin D and protein in your daily diet causes hair to lack nutrients for healthy growth. This is the leading cause of thin, weak hair and increased hair loss after giving birth.
3. Stress and lack of sleep
After giving birth, many mothers face stress, anxiety and inadequate sleep due to taking care of their young children. Prolonged stress and lack of sleep affect hair cell regeneration, causing more hair loss.
Therefore, postpartum women need to pay attention to a balanced diet, gentle hair care and stress management to limit hair loss.
