Postpartum Shedding
Investigated.

The hormonal drop after birth sends every hair your body 'held' during pregnancy into shedding at once. It is normal — but it can be softened, shortened, and fully recovered.

What this usually looks like

  • Dramatic shedding a few months postpartum
  • Regrowth at the hairline (short 'baby hairs')
  • Fatigue, sleep deprivation, and reduced appetite
  • Breastfeeding or recently weaned
The Open Question

Recognizing it is not the same as proving it.

Postpartum Shedding looks like several other suspects from the outside — which is why so many people treat the wrong one for years. Your Hair Investigation™ settles it, in private, with Dr. Leola.
