- Discontinuing birth control may cause hair loss in women for the same hormonal reasons. In a pregnant woman, levels of the hormone, progesterone, are unusually high and this has the effect of forcing hair into the resting phase prematurely.
- Supplement your diet with the following nutrients: - Vitamin B complex - Biotin (Possibly safe; orally and appropriately) - Vitamin C - Vamin E (Likely safe if amount does not exceed the RDA; possibly safe if it does) - Zinc (Likely safe when used orally and appropriately; likely unsafe when used orally in high doses)
- Once estrogen levels dip, hair slips into the resting or telegen stage and all those 'resting' hair follicles begin to fall out.
- When estrogen levels are high - when you are pregnant and breast feeding - they send a message to hair follicles to hold on to your hair that would have normally fallen out if you weren't pregnant.
