Postpartum hair loss, or telogen effluvium, is when you lose more hair after having a baby. For many women, this involves noticing more hair than usual on your pillow, in your brush, or in the shower. It usually starts around 2 to 4 months after delivery<\/strong> and can last for several months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After giving birth, however, hormone levels drop, leading to increased shedding as more hair moves into the resting phase. This process can feel overwhelming, but it\u2019s a normal part of recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
