As if there wasn’t enough going on during
pregnancy, your normal hair growth cycle is quietly disrupted
by a prolonged increase in the body’s estrogen levels.
One regrettable repercussion of the extra estrogen
is that it forces your hair follicles to stay active well
beyond their normal growth time (the anagen stage). Consequently,
in the months of pregnancy there is a significant decrease
in the number of “resting” hair follicles (the
telogen stage).
In fact, by the last weeks before birth the
decrease is such that your normal rate of hair loss (about
70 discarded hairs a day) may be reduced by as much as two
thirds—although its not something you would notice.
However, after delivery it’s catch-up
time. As your estrogen drops back to normal levels all those
active hair follicles, overdue for a rest, begin to switch-off
and enter the inactive telogen stage of the cycle.
That’s when a lot of follicles all stop
growing hair at the same time. And this you may certainly
notice, because suddenly you have a lot less hair. Often
the hair loss is severe enough to become plainly visible—some
women even worry about going bald.
This
relatively common hair loss disorder is called postpartum alopecia,
and it can persist and indeed become progressively worse for
several non-glamorous months.
Fortunately postpartum alopecia is a temporary
disorder. |
Eventually the hair follicles manage to re-organize
themselves, the new hairs replace the old ones, and the normal
growth cycle is resumed.
That said, there can also be lasting effects.
For those with certain types of hair, the new growth may
be both thinner and sparser than before.
But now there is
Cellex-C Hair Recovery Complex, to help you through to
better hair days. This all-natural ingredient formula has
proven
it can deliver both immediate and long-term benefits. It works.
After just one application of this oil-free
gel your hair will look fuller, healthier and generally more
robust.
The instant effect is achieved by the formula’s
known protein-building compounds that, combined with a natural
glycosaminoglycan polymer film, provide the support structure
to help thicken and moisturize the weakened hair shafts.
At a deeper level, phyto botanicals work synergistically
with key amino acids and polypeptides to help stimulate the
hair bulbs and help create an optimal environment for new
hair growth.
In fact, regular application of Hair Recovery
Complex over several weeks can lead to an apparent slowing
of post-natal hair loss. You’ll see the difference.
If ever you had worries about thinning hair
you can now brush them aside.
