How to improve thinning hair on the top of the head
Hair loss is a problem that many expectant mothers have after pregnancy. They often lose a lot of hair after combing their hair. Some pregnant mothers lose more hair during pregnancy and more after delivery, while some mothers suffer serious hair loss after delivery.
Causes of severe hair loss during pregnancy
Changes in hormone levels in the body after pregnancy are the main cause of hair loss. In addition to the main factor of hormone levels, nutrition and mood swings during pregnancy are all factors that cause serious hair loss.
The nutrition absorbed by pregnancy is for two people. In addition to their own needs, there is also the baby's nutritional needs. If the pregnant mother has poor digestion and absorption, or a simple diet or partial eclipse, nutritional imbalance is likely to occur, leading to insufficient supply of protein, vitamins or minerals in the body, affecting hair growth and metabolism, and causing hair loss.
In addition, large mood swings, such as frequent anxiety and restlessness, will cause cerebral cortex dysfunction, autonomic dysfunction, nerve disorders that control hair blood vessels, and reduced blood supply to the scalp, leading to malnutrition and loss of hair.
The causes of severe postpartum hair loss
The changes in hormone levels before and after pregnancy are the main cause of postpartum hair loss. In addition, some postpartum mothers who do not wash their hair during confinement will also experience severe hair loss. In the process of taking care of the newborn, labor-intensive problems such as night milk, sleeping, and role switching are also causes of hair loss.
How to alleviate the serious problem of hair loss?
Serious hair loss caused by pregnancy usually returns to normal about a year after childbirth. If the hair has not returned to the pre-pregnancy level after one year, you may have to go to the hospital for an examination to see if it is caused by other diseases.
Although the serious problem of hair loss is only temporary and does not require special treatment, ignoring it may make the situation worse. To improve serious hair loss problems, you can refer to the following suggestions:
1. Keep your hair dry and keep your scalp clean
Hair is too oily, too much oil will clog the hair follicles, cause folliculitis, and cause serious hair loss. Therefore, keeping the hair dry can improve the problem of hair loss. When washing your hair, pay attention to the water temperature not to overheat. After washing, you can apply some conditioner and hair mask to nourish the hair.
2. Avoid pulling hair
It is recommended to use a comb with a wide tooth pitch, which can reduce the pulling of the hair during the combing process and avoid a large amount of hair loss at one time. When combing the hair, first comb the tangled hair at the end, and then comb the hair from the root to the end to prevent the hair from splitting and breaking due to trauma. Always avoid rubbing your hair frequently to prevent damage to your hair.
3. Eat healthy, pay attention to balanced nutrition
The most important source of nutrition for hair is protein, so mothers should not only pay attention to a balanced intake, but also supplement some protein-rich foods, such as milk, eggs, fish, lean meat, etc.
4. Pleasant mood, adequate sleep
Many mothers are nervous about the baby's health problems before giving birth, and after giving birth, they worry about various problems in the process of raising their babies, which can make them unable to relax. If the mood is not relaxed, the blood supply of the scalp will be insufficient, and the hair will be malnourished, which is also one of the reasons for hair loss.
Therefore, mothers should learn to ask for help and don’t burden themselves too much. They can ask their loved ones, family members and professionals to help with their children, share the work, reduce their own pressure, share their parenting experiences with other mothers, and maintain a happy and good mood. It is important to ensure that you have enough sleep.
