Pregnancy hair loss tips and remedies
How hair changes during pregnancy
During pregnancy, hormone levels suffer significant variations that affect the appearance and health of hair. In particular, estrogen tends to prolong the hair growth phase, making it thicker and shinier. However, not all women experience this positive effect. Some may notice dry hair during pregnancy or an alteration in texture, such as straight hair becoming temporarily wavy or curly, and vice versa.
These changes are generally temporary and will settle over time. However, it is important to be aware of the factors that can negatively affect the health of hair during this period.
Causes of hair loss during pregnancy
Hair loss during pregnancy can be influenced by various factors, including:
- Hormonal fluctuations: during pregnancy, high levels of estrogen can increase the hair growth phase, reducing hair loss. However, after childbirth, estrogen levels drop abruptly, causing increased hair loss during pregnancy or postpartum, known as telogen effluvium.
- Nutritional deficiencies: a pregnant woman's body needs more nutrients. Deficiencies in vitamins and minerals, such as iron and zinc, can contribute to increased hair loss during pregnancy.
- Physical and emotional stress: pregnancy can be a stressful time for many women. Chronic stress can cause an interruption of the hair growth cycle, leading to increased hair loss.
How to take care of your hair during pregnancy
Maintaining a good hair care routine is crucial for dealing with pregnancy hair loss and preserving healthy hair. Here are some tips:
- Mild and natural products: choose mild shampoos and conditioners without sulphates and parabens, which act gently without attacking the scalp;
- Balanced diet: keeping a diet rich in protein, iron, zinc and vitamins is essential for healthy hair. Foods such as eggs, fish, nuts, green leafy vegetables and fruit are good sources of essential nutrients;
- Avoid aggressive treatments: during pregnancy, avoid aggressive chemical treatments such as dyes, perms and chemical straightening. Instead, opt for less damaging styling methods and limit the use of heat tools;
- Hydration: drink plenty of water to keep your hair and scalp well hydrated as well. Using natural oils, such as coconut or argan oil, can help prevent dryness and improve hair texture.
