My hairdresser was always amazed when she saw me yet again for a trim.<\/p>\n<p>This extra hair growth that some ladies see is due to the hormone levels, specifically the oestrogen. Hair has a cycle of growth and loss. Usually we lose about 100 hairs a day, however in pregnancy this hair loss can be reduced giving you those extra lush locks. All good things must come to an end however and as the oestrogen levels drop so must the extra hair. It is not uncommon for clumps or handfuls of hair to come out when you are brushing or washing it. So do not panic! Your hair will go back to how it was pre-pregnancy, you will not be bald (phew).<\/p>\n<p>For some mums this will happen from birth and for others it will be when breastfeeding stops.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pilateswithpriya.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/hair-loss-concept-hair-ball-hairbrush-isolated-white-c-closeup-shot-33092835.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1124\" alt=\"Pilates with Priya: postnatal hair loss\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pilateswithpriya.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/hair-loss-concept-hair-ball-hairbrush-isolated-white-c-closeup-shot-33092835-300x220.jpg?resize=300%2C220&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"300\" height=\"220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pilateswithpriya.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/hair-loss-concept-hair-ball-hairbrush-isolated-white-c-closeup-shot-33092835.jpg?resize=300%2C220&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pilateswithpriya.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/hair-loss-concept-hair-ball-hairbrush-isolated-white-c-closeup-shot-33092835.jpg?resize=1024%2C753&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pilateswithpriya.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/hair-loss-concept-hair-ball-hairbrush-isolated-white-c-closeup-shot-33092835.jpg?w=1300&amp;ssl=1 1300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Top Tips:<\/span><br \/>\n1. Be kind to your hair, don\u2019t was it excessively (as if you have time to with a baby!) and be gentle when styling it.<br \/>\n2. Try to stay away from hair dryers and straighteners, chemicals and treatments for a while.<br \/>\n3. Take a postnatal vitamins and eat a healthy balanced diet. Essential fatty acids are needed for hair to grow strong and healthy so no low fat diets.<br \/>\n4.
