POSTPARTUM HAIR LOSS CAUSE
• THE CAUSE OF POSTPARTUM HAIR LOSS LIES IN THE
NATURAL GROWING STAGE OF HAIR. THE HAIR
TYPICALLY GROWS IN THREE STAGES: THE ANAGEN
OR GROWING PHASE, THE CATAGEN OR
TRANSITION PHASE, AND THE TELOGEN OR RESTING
PHASE. DURING PREGNANCY, HORMONES THAT ARE
RELEASED TEND TO LOCK THE ROOTS OF THE HAIR
INTO AN ANAGEN STAGE. AS A RESULT, HAIR SEEMS
TO GROW FASTER, THICKER AND LONGER WHEN A
WOMAN IS PREGNANT.
