What to do if you lose a lot of hair during breastfeeding

The arrival of a baby is the greatest blessing for a family, but expectant mothers will have a problem, that is, a lot of hair loss during breastfeeding. What is going on? In fact, I believe every mother is very concerned about how to deal with a lot of hair loss during breastfeeding.

In fact, the main culprit that causes expectant mothers to lose a lot of hair during breastfeeding is hormones. Due to the changes in hormones during pregnancy and the changes in hormones again after delivery, the hair of expectant mothers changes from black to sparse.

Here are some tips for postpartum hair care

1. Eat more protein

The most important source of nutrition for hair is protein. Therefore, in terms of diet, mothers should not only pay attention to balanced intake, but also add more protein-rich foods, such as: milk, eggs, fish, lean meat, walnuts, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, black rice, etc.

2. Feeling good

It is easy to be nervous before and after childbirth. In the process of raising a baby, the mother is prone to excessive fatigue and will worry about various problems with the baby. She cannot relax, which leads to autonomic nervous dysfunction, poor blood supply to the scalp, and malnutrition of the hair, which is also one of the causes of hair loss. Being in a good mood and free from anxiety, fear and other emotions is not only good for your hair, but also can improve your beauty and make you a radiant mother.

3. Wash your hair properly

The prerequisite for healthy hair is cleanliness. The sebaceous glands in the hair follicles at the roots of the hair are constantly active, and the oil they secrete every day easily adheres to dust in the environment, which can easily increase the friction when combing the hair, causing the cuticles on the surface of the hair to flip up, and the hair will become dull, dry, split, and even break and fall off. At the same time, excessive oil is also a breeding ground for fungi and bacteria, indirectly causing problems such as dandruff.

Scientific tests have proven that hair has its own recovery and regulation functions. After washing your hair, the amount of oil will return to its previous state within four hours. Washing your hair every day in the correct way will not only not damage your hair, but also remove grease and dirt in time, prevent your hair from drying out and split ends, reduce the chance of hair damage and breakage, effectively control the production of dandruff, keep your hair neat and beautiful, and make your hair healthier and shinier.

Of course, we need to carefully choose shampoos according to our own hair types. If people with dry hair use shampoo for oily hair, there will indeed be the problem that their hair will become drier the more they wash.

After shampooing, it is best to use some conditioner containing hydrolyzed protein and hair scale to prevent hair from becoming dry, split or tangled and keep the hair smooth and soft.

Mothers are reminded that when applying conditioner, it is best to apply it to the middle or end of the hair, rather than applying a large amount directly on the scalp, so as to avoid clogging the hair follicles and causing inflammation of the hair follicles.

4. Massage your scalp with your fingertips

It is recommended that mothers avoid pulling their hair hard when washing their hair, and use their fingertips to gently massage the scalp to promote hair growth and blood circulation in the brain. Combing your hair 100 times a day with a clean wooden comb is also a good way to massage.

5. Comb your hair from the ends first

Combing your hair is also a science. The correct method should be to start from the ends of the hair, comb out the tangled hair at the ends first, and then comb from the roots to the ends. This can prevent the hair from splitting and breaking due to external injuries.

Expectant mothers should also look beautiful after giving birth. Don’t just take care of the children every day and forget about yourself, which will lead to you becoming a yellow-faced woman. Every girl should not have such thoughts. If expectant mothers lose a lot of hair during breastfeeding, they can do as mentioned above, which may have unexpected effects.
