產後脫髮不用慌
產後脫髮是每位媽媽必經的過程，因為懷孕時雌激素提高，讓頭髮維持在生長期，所以不少孕媽媽懷孕時頭髮變厚又亮澤，掉髮量明顯減少。產後3至6個月開始掉髮增多，因為產後雌激素回復到正常水平，不少頭髮進入終止期的生長循環中，頭髮便大量掉落，亦會變幼。從中醫角度來看，婦女分娩必耗損氣血，加上產後休息不足，沒有足夠養份滋養頭髮，髮質偏乾不亮澤，就會出現斷髮甚至脫髮的情況。
想輕鬆過渡脫髮期，產後需注意養好脾胃，因為脾胃正常運化，才可為身體帶來營養，滋養氣血；爭取時間休息，保持心情開朗；多進食用新鮮食材烹調的菜式，避免屬性寒涼的食材；如伴隨面色偏白、心悸、氣短，則屬氣血兩虛，可以適量食用有補氣血及烏髮功效的藥材進補，例如黑芝麻、紅棗、杞子、首烏等。如產後6個月脫髮問題持續嚴重，建議諮詢醫師意見進行調理。

How to manage postpartum hair loss
Every mother will experience postpartum hair loss. As estrogen level increase during pregnancy and the hair remains in the growing period. This results in many pregnant women having thicker and brighter hair, and the amount of hair loss is significantly reduced. The hair loss starts to increase after 3 to 6 months after giving birth as the estrogen levels return to normal. A lot of hair are no longer in the growth cycle, leading to thinning and hair loss.

The hair then becomes dry and loses shine, they will break and come off.
To get through the hair loss period easily, you should nourish the spleen and stomach after giving birth.

Remember to take more time to rest, keep a happy mood, eat more dishes made with fresh ingredients, and avoid cold-natured ingredients. If accompanied by pale complexion, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, it is qi and blood deficiency. You can appropriately consume herbs that can replenish qi and blood and improve hair quality, such as black sesame, red dates, wolfberries, polygonum multiflorum. If the problem of hair loss persists for longer than 6 months after giving birth, it is recommended to seek a practitioner advice to properly manage it.
