Combating Hair Loss

I see so many poor moms suffering from horrible postpartum hair loss, and while I think some bit of hair loss could be normal it certainly doesn’t have to be to the extreme that I frequently see.

After extensive research on how to NOT experience postpartum hair loss here is what I found:

Your body is so smart. It will give all your nutrients to your vital organs. So if you’re deficient in nutrients, it certainly won’t go to your hair. And if you're nursing, then all your nutrients are going to baby first and then going toward keeping you alive… not to your hair. In short, your body doesn't give AF about your hair.

So load up on nutrient rich, high protein foods DURING pregnancy and keep it going once you have the baby. Hair is primarily made of keratin (a type of protein) so a diet rich in proteins is essential for healthy hair growth, especially postpartum. Inadequate nutrition can lead to hair loss, weakened hair, and slow hair growth.

Hair health also depends on supporting the heart and adrenals The products I took for this after the babies included: Regenerzyme Heart, Regenerzyme Adrenal and Cir Q Tonic.

The body might also shed hair after a “traumatic” event: think high fever, recovering from an illness, or undergoing a surgery or a general body transition (pregnancy? Birth?). What's actually happening is a type of hair shedding called telogen effluvium. It happens when more hairs than normal enter the shedding phase of the hair growth cycle at the same time. Stress, medications, fever, illness, or surgery can force more hairs into this shedding process. It can also take some time for this stress to show up in your hair. For instance, most people see noticeable hair shed two to three months after the fever or illness in question. Handfuls of hair can come out when you shower or brush. This can last for six to nine months before it stops-then most people see their hair start to look normal again.

Stress Management: Hair follicles contain receptors that can respond to stress hormones. These receptors detect and react to various stress-related hormones like cortisol and play a significant role in the hair growth cycle. When the body is under stress, these receptors are activated, leading to alterations in hair growth patterns. This stress response can result in hair shedding or thinning.
