In fact, when it falls out after childbirth, the hair only “catches up” for the delay accumulated during pregnancy. Normally 10-15% of the hair is resting or ready to fall out. During pregnancy, they are only about 5% in this phase!

After childbirth, the hair cycles are gradually resynchronized all over the scalp. The hair that should have been in the telogen phase finally enters it and then falls out. Sometimes, due to this synchronization, up to a third of the hair can reach the telogen phase at the same time.

The fall seems unusually abundant, but it actually only corresponds to the elimination of extra hair that did not fall during pregnancy …

Thus, the capillary nature simply resumes its normal course!
