Hair health during and after pregnancy, a story of hormones

The hair normally follows a life cycle in three phases:

• There growth(Anagène phase), which lasts between two and five years and during which the hair grows from 10 to 15 cm each year.
• THE rest(Catagen phase), which lasts two to three weeks and which consists of gradually stopping hair growth.
• There fall(Telogen phase), which extends over about three months and during which the hair falls when a new hair follicle is ready to replace it.

But the balance of this hair life cycle is fragile and can be disturbed by many factors. Among the most common causes of a disruption of the life cycle of the hair, we find food deficiencies, stress as well as ... hormonal upheavals!

Menstruation, pregnancy (s) and menopause: the life of a woman is generally punctuated by several of these great hormonal upheavals. And pregnancy is one of the most intense hormonal variations, since it consists first of all in a dizzying hormones and then in a brutal fall of hormones after childbirth. A big eight that has consequences for the condition of the hair.

Healthy hair during pregnancy

During a pregnancy, the woman is under a positive hormonal influence since her estrogen level soar. The key: magnified skin and healthy hair.

This high estrogen rate strengthens the health of the hair by increasing the production of keratin and sebum and maintaining hair longer in the anagène phase, that is to say in the growth phase. The hair falls less than usual and seem thicker. They are also visibly brighter and resistant.

Note however that if the majority of women benefit from a hair magnified by this hormonal variation, this is not always the case. Some people note on the contrary that their hair is dull, fatty and brittle. It all depends on hormones and their impact on each woman, this can obviously vary greatly from person to person.

Weakened hair after childbirth

During childbirth or in case of miscarriage, hormonal influence has the opposite effect. The fall in the production of estrogens and progesterones causes a new disruption of the hair cycle, which quickly pass in the telogen phase, that is to say during the fall.

While they were boosted by hormones during pregnancy, the hair is here, on the contrary, weakened and fall much more than in normal times. They also become more brighter, drier and fine, because the production of keratin and sebum is slowed down.

A third of women deplore a Massive hair fall between two and four months after childbirth. This phenomenon is called "the telogen effluvium of postpartum" and is generally difficult to bear morally for mothers who are already in an overwhelming period, exhausting and rich in emotions.

To return to normal - a loss of only 50 to 100 hair per day on average -, patience will be in order. It takes about six months to a year to recover stable hair health, or even more if you are breastfeeding and depending on the duration of your breastfeeding.

Hormones at the heart of the problem, but not just

If the hormonal upheavals caused by pregnancy constitute the main cause of the hair changes you see when you are pregnant and after your delivery, they are not the only ones.

We know it, postman which most determines the state of hair health is thefood. In case of deficiency in vitamins, minerals and trace elements necessary for hair fiber, the consequences are quickly felt on the condition of the hair.

And since pregnancy implies an overuse of many nutrients, it is more than ever crucial to hold your nutrients to the eye and to fill your possible deficiencies.

Food deficiencies, a lack of physical activity, not enough sleep or too much stress, genetics or lifestyle in general can weaken hair health and/or strengthen the effects linked to a hormonal upheaval. It is therefore essential to ensure these different factors when you are pregnant to ensure that you do not worsen the impact of these hormonal variations.

What to do to find healthy hair?

Just as it is advisable to take food supplements before and during pregnancy to support the growth and development of the fetus (iron, vitamin C, vitamin B9, omega-3, etc.), it is just as important to supplement after childbirth to help your body recover.

Hops, luzerne, linen seeds and sage seeds are recognized to be hormonal and recommended to compensate for the fall of estrogen linked to childbirth. Group B vitamins are also crucial because they are overused during pregnancy, often causing deficiencies.

To find good rates of vitamins and minerals, a treatment of natural food supplements and specifically formulated to meet the needs of women in a postpartum situation will be recommended.

The objective: to boost your general health, to meet your nutritious needs and bring to your hair what they need to find an optimal form.
