Postpartum Hair Fall: What’s Happening and What to Do

You’ve grown a human. You’re healing, adjusting, and doing the most important job in the world. And then, just when you’re starting to feel a little more like yourself again, your hair starts falling out in clumps.

It’s alarming. It’s emotional. And while postpartum hair shedding is common, excessive hair loss or bald patches should not be ignored.

Here’s everything you need to know about postpartum hair fall, why it happens, how long it lasts, and what you can do to care for your hair and scalp during this stage. Plus, we’ll gently walk you through how Orimii’s Hair Growth Serum supports your hair’s natural rhythm without any unrealistic promises.


🌀 What’s Actually Going On With Your Hair?

During pregnancy, your body is flooded with estrogen. One of the many side effects? Your hair stays in its growth phase longer, which is why many women feel like their hair is thicker or fuller while expecting.

But after delivery, hormone levels drop particularly estrogen and all those strands that were "on pause" suddenly shift into the shedding phase (called telogen effluvium). This can happen anywhere between 6–16 weeks postpartum, and often peaks around the 4-month mark.


 What It Feels Like

  • Hair everywhere in your brush, on your pillow, clogging your shower drain

  • A receding hairline or widening part (especially around the temples)

  • Feeling like you’re “going bald” even though it’s temporary

It’s not just physical it can feel deeply emotional. Especially when you’re already dealing with sleep deprivation, identity shifts, and physical recovery.


⏳ The Good News: It Does Settle

Most postpartum hair shedding resolves on its own by 9–12 months after delivery. But that doesn’t mean you have to just “wait it out” without support.
