💌 To Every New Mum Finding Hair Everywhere... 🧡
If you're staring at clumps of hair in your shower drain or finding strands wrapped around your baby's tiny fingers - take a deep breath.
You're not alone. You're not broken. And yes, this is completely normal.
The Truth: Over 90% of New Mothers Experience This
Recent research shows that 91.8% of women experience postpartum hair loss. This isn't rare - it's the overwhelming majority.
You didn't do anything wrong. This is simply your body's natural response to one of the most significant experiences a woman can go through

When Does It Stop? The Timeline
📅 Around 3 Months: First notice increased shedding
📅 Around 5 Months: Peak hair loss (often the scariest phase)
📅 Around 8 Months: Excessive shedding starts to slow.
📅 By 12-18 Months: Hair returns to normal thickness.
During peak shedding, you might lose 100-200 hairs daily (vs. normal 50-80). 90% of women notice this most when washing hair - so those scary shower moments are typical.
Why Is This Happening?
🧡 The Hormonal Shift
During pregnancy, elevated hormones kept more hair growing. After delivery, hormones plummet rapidly, causing many follicles to shed at once.
🧡 The New Parent Reality
- Physical recovery from childbirth
- Sleep deprivation (major stress)
- Nutritional demands of breastfeeding
- Emotional adjustment to motherhood
- Ongoing hormonal fluctuations
All of these together explain why postpartum hair loss feels so dramatic.
🧡 The Stress Cycle: Break It
Stress about hair loss can make it worse. 74% of women with postpartum hair loss experience anxiety about it, creating a cycle where worry contributes to shedding.
Remember: This is temporary. Your hair will return. You're doing an amazing job.
When to See Your Doctor
Most postpartum hair loss is normal, but watch for:
⚠️ Loss continuing beyond 12 months without regrowth
⚠️ Patchy bald spots rather than overall thinning
⚠️ Extreme fatigue or cold intolerance
⚠️ Heavy or irregular periods
These could indicate thyroid issues or nutritional deficiencies that need addressing.
