Thick Hair When Pregnant And Loss During Delivery Why?

Consider a pregnant woman's hair would look better because it is more dense and long fast. But after giving birth so hair loss. Why is that?
Most women love to see her hair to be beautiful during pregnancy, but often surprised to find many hair loss within the first few months after giving birth.
Quoted from babycenter, while pregnant women experience increased estrogen levels that can prolong the growth phase of hair. This causes only a little hair that is in the resting phase, so the hair becomes thicker and a little loss.

But after giving birth, estrogen levels will decrease and make a lot of hair into the resting phase. This drop in estrogen levels that would make a person experiencing hair kerontokkan more than usually good time was combing or shampooing.
Normally around 85-95 percent of the hair on the head and the rest will grow at around 5-15 per cent are in the resting phase. After a period of rest, this hair will fall out and be replaced by new hair. One woman suffered an average loss of 100 hairs.

Do not worry, these conditions include normal and nothing to worry. Hair loss after childbirth was not going to make a bald because the hair will return to normal after the first year of the baby. The condition of the hair will return to normal as 6-12 months before becoming pregnant after giving birth.
Yet sometimes it is not all women experience a drastic hair loss, general condition will be more clearly seen in women who have long hair.

But one thing is for sure the condition has nothing to do with breastfeeding. So the notion of women who think they experienced hair kerontokkan because breastfeeding is wrong because this condition is only a coincidence and not related.
Generally, nothing can stop this condition, but a person can handle by cutting his hair became shorter and using the right shampoo and conditioner for hair.
