The effect of pregnancy on hair

Hair density increases during pregnancy,

 This is due to less hair loss than normal,

 In a normal situation, 85% to 95% of the hair is in the growth stage

5% to 15% of it is in the resting phase

 After the dormancy stage, the hair falls out.

 A new hair grows in its place. Hair falls out at a rate of 100 hairs per day.

 But during pregnancy, the rise in estrogen extends the life of the hair, as the hair remains in the growth phase for a longer period,

 Which reduces hair loss and increases its density. Pregnancy can also increase the luster of the hair and change its nature. Curly hair may become more straight,
