Congratulations on your pregnancy!

Being pregnant is a wonderful experience.
However, its not always an easy one. Lots of
major changes are happening with your body, and
your hair is not missing out on the fun. It can
thin out or thicken. To help us fight the
thinning, the loss, or the extra hair growth, we
need to understand why it happens and what can we
do to combat the problem. One of the main reason
why your hair losses during pregnancy is the
change in your hormones.

Hormones have a lot of effects on your hair. When
theres an increase amount of estrogen moving
through your body, it is more likely that your
hair begins to grow faster and thicker. The
estrogen can also allow the metabolism to move
faster, providing the body with extra nutrients,
which will increase the hair growth. Especially,
when the estrogen is moving into the hair
follicles

So what happens when the opposite happens and
your hair is thinning out instead? This is
actually a way that your body is telling you that
you are not getting enough nutrients. Usually,
this is the result of your body not producing the
amount of estrogens it needs during the
pregnancy. It usually occurs in the first
trimester during the morning sickness and nausea.
If this happens, it is very important to make
sure that you are getting the right amounts of
nutrients needed in order for your body to stay
balanced

Apart from the loss or increase in the amount of
hair, you might notice that the type of hair
itself might also change. All of the sudden, your
hair can go from straight to curly, or the
opposite. This again, is the result of the
hormone changes in your body. The hormone
increase can move into the cortex. This is where
the hair begins to grow, and add more texture to
it. Fortunately, or unfortunately, this will not
change back to normal after pregnancy. After the
birth of the baby, usually in the first 3 6
months after a pregnancy, you might also realize
that the same changes might occur. This is as
expected and is very normal after a pregnancy. It
is the result of the estrogen level going back to
normal and slowing down all the extra nutrients
that are moving around your body.

Additional vitamins and other supplements might
help before, during, and after pregnancy.
Knowing the changes that your body is going
through will help you keep your hair looking
healthy and beautiful.
