How long does hair loss last during lactation?

Lactation hair loss usually lasts for 6-12 months.

Lactation hair loss is a common phenomenon and is usually associated with changes in hormone levels in the body after childbirth. Many women find hair thicker and hair loss reduced during pregnancy due to increased estrogen levels during pregnancy, which can prolong the growth cycle of hair. However, once the baby is born, estrogen levels will quickly return to pre-pregnancy conditions, causing a large number of hair growth time into the rest period, followed by hair loss period, generally lasting 6-12 months, and then gradually improve. It is

recommended that women maintain a healthy diet, adequate rest and moderate exercise after hair loss, can help promote hair recovery and health.
