Post Natal Hair Loss
I have thin fine hair all the while. If you see Isabelle’s photo, and was wondering why she doesn’t have much hair, well, she got the genes from me. 
Thus, it’s really frightening to me when I started losing my hair after having my babies.
I had to be very gentle when I was washing my hair, so that I won’t pull or break them further. I was worried when I saw the bunch of hair strand stuck in the draining hole. It’s quite a lot! Thus, I surfed around and found info like this from slashhair.net.
The usual reason for postnatal hair loss is ‘hormonal change’. Hormonal changes in general are a very common cause of female hair loss, although not the only cause.
About 98% of all women who have given birth, experience some extra hair loss. During the pregnancy however, hair is often at it’s best because of the high levels of female hormones oestrogen (good for hair growth) and progesterone (bad for hair growth), more hair follicles enter the growth phase than normal. After childbirth hormone levels change dramatically, often causing the hair growth cycle to become ‘disturbed’. The normal hair growth cycle soon returns and many hairs re-enter the resting phase, which causes excessive moulting. It’s at this point that most women notice the hair loss, there is often a massive collection of hairs in the plug-hole after washing, especially if one has long hair. Hair loss occurs from the sixth week to the thirtieth week after childbirth. This type of hair loss is common and the condition is temporary, once the body has settled down and returned to the pre-pregnancy state, normally at around the twenty-eighth week after childbirth, the moulting spontaneously stops. If the loss continues for more than thirty four weeks, one is entering into the realms of androgenetic alopecia (time to see a dermatologist - general practitioner - gynecologist).
