For a lot of women, that huge and prolonged hormone spike has an incredible effect on their hair. It’s thicker, healthier and grows like never before. Not only does that increase keep DHT levels in check, but it also improves blood flow to your follicles, and the result can be the healthiest hair you’ve ever had! That doesn’t mean that hair loss is impossible during pregnancy, however. During those early weeks, when Progesterone is increasing faster that Estrogen, you could see some hair loss. And that’s because those relatively high levels can stop your follicles working as well. Pregnancy-related hair loss isn’t massively common, though, so please do talk to a healthcare professional if you’re seeing it.
