Postpartum Hair Loss and Hair Extensions: How to Restore Your Confidence

Why Does Postpartum Hair Loss Happen?

During pregnancy, many women notice their hair becoming thicker and fuller, thanks to the surge of hormones, particularly estrogen. These hormones prolong the growth phase of hair, meaning less shedding than usual. But after childbirth, hormone levels plummet and suddenly, all that hair that didn't shed during pregnancy begins to fall out. This shedding can happen in clumps, often leading to thinning hair around the temples and crown.

How Hair Extensions Can Help

While postpartum hair loss is temporary, it can affect how you feel about your appearance. This is where hair extensions come in. Hair extensions are an incredible way to give your hair the boost it needs without having to wait months for regrowth. Not only do they add immediate volume, but they can also restore your confidence, helping you feel like your best self.
