Rizos en embarazo y posparto
Hormones change hair texture. During pregnancy it can get thicker and shinier. Six months postpartum, the hair you didn't shed during pregnancy starts coming out. Sometimes the curl pattern changes too. Here's what to know.
Cambios del embarazo
Higher estrogen extends the growth phase of hair. Less shedding, more density, often more shine. Many curly clients see their pattern tighten or loosen during pregnancy.
Color choices change during pregnancy too. Most stylists recommend balayage or highlights instead of root-touching root color, because painted color avoids scalp contact.
Caída de cabello posparto
Around three to six months postpartum, the hair that was extending its growth phase during pregnancy enters its shedding phase. The shedding can feel alarming. It's normal.
Postpartum hair often returns to its pre-pregnancy state within a year. Sometimes the new growth is a different curl pattern than what was there before.
