"I have been losing my hair since giving birth two weeks ago. What should I do?"

Hair loss after childbirth is a common occurrence and typically occurs as a natural response to compensate for the increased hair growth that happens during pregnancy. There is not much that can be done to prevent this hair loss, but avoiding things like tight hairstyles, heat styling, and chemical treatments can help minimize it. On average, it takes about 6 to 9 months for your hair to return to its normal appearance after giving birth. So, try not to worry too much as this is a temporary phase that should resolve on its own over time.
