After pregnancy hair loss

During pregnancy due to high levels of estrogen hormone more hairs go into Anagen or growth phase. So you have less hair in the Telogen phase and hence experience less of hair fall. Thus pregnant women are blessed with beautiful lustrous hair.

After delivery when hormones return to their normal levels, more hair follicles enter into resting phase and thus more hair falls also. Since a greater number of hairs go into resting phase after delivery, hair fall after pregnancy seems very alarming.
