Above all, it's the result of a considerable decrease in hormones after giving birth: a real upheaval for your hair! This hair loss is also linked to stress and fatigue which often follow pregnancy. Generally, you must wait between 6 and 12 months before you can get your hair back to normal. If this persists longer than a year, don't hesitate in consulting your doctor.

Our advice

Massage your scalp as often as possible! This will promote hair growth, by stimulating blood microcirculation. The nutrients required to keep your hair healthy will therefore circulate more easily. To massage your scalp, make circular movements by exerting light pressure. Feel free to add a drop of vegetable oil for a moment of intense nutrition.
