MINIMIZE HAIR LOSS
• CONDUCT A HAIR GROWTH STIMULATING SHAMPOO AND MASSAGE
EVERYDAY WHILE SHAMPOOING TO STIMULATE BLOOD FLOW TO THE
SCALP. BLOOD CARRIES OXYGEN THAT REJUVENATES THE HAIR
FOLLICLES, ENCOURAGING IT TO GROW MORE HAIR.
• AVOID KEEPING HAIR IN TIGHT BUNS AND PONYTAILS. THIS COULD
CAUSE THE HAIR TO BREAK OFF EASILY. ALSO, BE SURE TO USE MILD
SHAMPOOS RATHER THAN HARSH ONES AND AVOID THE USE OF
THICK CREAMS OR HAIR MASQUES THAT COULD POTENTIALLY CLOG
THE PORES.
• HAIR LOSS, ESPECIALLY SEVERE POSTPARTUM HAIR LOSS CAN BE A
DISCOURAGING EXPERIENCE. BUT THIS NEED NOT BE A SOURCE OF
EXTRA STRESS TO NEW MOTHERS. UNDERSTANDING WHY IT HAPPENS
AND WHAT THEY CAN DO TO MINIMIZE THE LOSS CAN HELP MAKE
THE EXPERIENCE EASIER TO BEAR.
