Baby Hair Loss

My baby girl was born with a full head of thick curly black hair in January. As of today she's almost bald but I'm not worried. Newborn hair loss is actually totally normal and here's why: . Babies often lose their hair during the first six months. This kind of hair loss is called telogen effluvium. Hair has a growth stage and a resting stage. The growth stage lasts about three years, and the resting stage lasts about three months (although anywhere from one to six months is normal). During the resting stage, the hair remains in the follicle until the new hair starts coming in.

About 5 to 15 percent of hair on the scalp is usually in the resting phase at any one time, but stress or a hormonal change can cause a large number of hairs to stop growing all at once. The shedding begins when the next growth stage starts up about three months later. A newborn's hormone levels drop right after birth, which can cause him to lose the hair he was born with. I touched on postpartum hairloss in a previous post and this happens for exactly the same reason! . If your baby's hair starts to fall out, it should start growing again by 7 months and you may even find that is grows back a completely different colour or texture. I'm pretty sure though that my little girl's hair will grow back through black and curly 😁😁 . . . . . . . . . . . #newborn #newbornhair #babygirl #curlykids #curlyhair #naturalhair #curly #curlygirl #berrycurly #teamcurly #kinkycurly #curlygirls #deepcurly #curlyhairproblems #naturallycurly #newbaby #curlywave #kinkycurlyhair #haircurly #curlyfries #curls #curlybeauties #ig #frobabies #mixedbabies #baby #blackbabyhair #curlyblow #beautiful #postpartum
