Many new moms see noticeable hair loss a few months after having a baby. This is normal and not true hair loss. It's refered to this condition as excessive hair shedding. The excessive shedding is caused by falling estrogen levels. It takes about 6-9 months for that hair to shed out. That's why most people notice shedding around the this time. This is just a phase and it's not permanent. Most women who experience hair shedding after pregnancy will notice their hair return back to its normal fullness. If this doesn't resolve even after 6-9 months then consult with a Dermatologist for the same.
