Why do women lose hair after giving birth?
Jan 7, 2013

Dr. Karim Nawfal Obstetrics & Gynecology
This is a normal process, and women with longer hair might notice it more.
The drop in estrogen hormone after birth causes more hair to go in the "resting phase" and then more hair are shed.
This is totally reversible and your hair will go back to normal within 6 to 12 months after birth.
