Causes of postpartum hair loss

Postpartum hair loss can be traced back to hormones. In particular, oestrogen is to blame. When you’re pregnant, your oestrogen levels increase and that’s good news for your hair. But once your baby is delivered, your oestrogen levels decrease and your hair starts to fall out.
