4 awesome repairs with SMG
Whilst browsing today i happened to see a video highlighting a lesser-known side-effect of pregnancy which if i'm honest shocked me a little the side effect was postpartum hair loss.
the video was uploaded to Instagram by a Utah hairdresser, the video shows the stylist gently pulling on a client s hair - and removing clumps of hair at a time.
After seeing this i was curious to how common this extreme postpartum hair loss was*nl..... it looks like it's actually pretty common. I imagine it must scare the shit out of a lot of women...especially if they are unaware of why it was happening.
Apparently, the extreme hair loss is actually completely normal.And it looks like oestrogen is the culprit.
While the hormone is a womens friend during pregnancy - when her body is producing it like crazy - after she gives birth, her oestrogen level plummets, and a lot more hair follicles enter the resting stage.
So according to the information i read Postpartum hair loss/telogen effluvium usually occurs four to six months after pregnancy. During the pregnancy, when women's hair looks lush, and thick, and beautiful, it is because they are not losing the 100 strands of hair they would normally lose per day. But once they give birth, the hair goes into the shedding stage, and all this hair may fall out. But it grows back, it is completely reversible."
Unfortunately, despite the various hair products marketed directly to women dealing with postpartum hair loss, you can t actually prevent the hair from falling out.
But the good news is, in addition to having a brand new baby, hair always grows back. ¬b`
Just thought i'd post this in case there are any women going through this and wandering what the hell is going on.
