"If you are easily frightened, scroll past this video… I’m gonna show you the postpartum hair truth that no one else shows you," she starts her video by saying. She goes on to pull at the baby hairs springing from her hairline. "No I did not cut those," she explains. "They grew in after my hair all fell out after my last pregnancy". According to the American Pregnancy Association, during pregnancy, women experience an increase of estrogen hormones. This estrogen causes hair to remain in a growing phase, and puts your hair in a resting phase — resulting in less everyday hair loss. But after giving birth, those increased hormones return to normal levels — and thus, your hair cycle returns to normal. All that hair loss that was delayed during pregnancy may result in your hair falling out all at once after giving birth. "The hair loss usually peaks 3-4 months after delivery as your hair follicles rejuvenate themselves," states the American Pregnancy Association. Once your hair starts to grow back in, it might come in the form of spritely baby hairs — or "hair horns," as Bree refers to them in her TikTok video. Thanks to helpful videos like this — and brutally honest moms like Bree — parents can be prepared for any postpartum challenges headed their way!
