Main Causes of Postpartum Hair Loss
Postpartum hair loss is primarily caused by hormonal changes that occur after childbirth, particularly the sudden drop in estrogen levels. During pregnancy, elevated hormones keep hair in a growth phase longer, resulting in less shedding. Once hormone levels normalize after delivery, many hairs enter the shedding phase at once, leading to noticeable hair loss. This process is natural and typically resolves as hormone levels stabilize over time.
