My Hair Was Falling Out Badly After I Gave Birth

Anyone here who experienced falling hair after giving birth? I did and was so worried that I would be bald eventually if I did did not find the right solution Do you know how my falling hair problem got solved? My Mother brought me some aloe versa plants from her garden and advised me to rub its gel on my scalp every day and leave it for 20 to 30 minutes before shampooing. I did it without fail and my hair stopped falling and was restored to its healthy condition. Can you share any home-made natural cure that helped you treat any beauty or health issues in your family?

I have this in the house, but i can just barely see two of them. I wonder i might search on how to propagate them, maybe i could use it on my dog who's hair is all over the place

If you place it in a place with enough sunshine and in good soil, it will not stop propagating. It has lots of uses. i am even using it to treat wounds and very effective, also for burns and sunburns, also to soften skin, also you can eat the gel for daily supply of natural antioxidant.

@Letranknight2015 replotting will for sometime halt their propagation. most time i leave them alone and just give them enough water and sunshine.

@salonga il do research on this, i've stop myself from attempting to replot this plant because i' haven't the results from my snake and welcome plant yet. but seeing them a bit dying, i don't want to touch this pl;ant for the moment.

@JudyEv Good decision. Thin hair needs constant trimming.

@salonga I need to get my hair cut soon. It is very fine and it seems to be thinner than it once was. I'll be interested in what my hair-dresser says.

@Lucky15 yes to it and on your lips to make it softer. After 15 to 20 minutes you can wash out. Do it regularly.

I didn't know that aloe alleviates with post natal hair lost. I have used eggs and olive oil to moisturize my hair.

Eggs and olive are great for hair but olive oil is very expensive so i am using coconut oil and aloe vera instead and they are truly making my hair very healthy and glossy.

One of my pregnancies caused hair breakage and fall out. I was so glad when things got better with that. Aloe works great for a lot of ailments and skin conditions.

egg white when applied to face and leave for 15 minutes is good for controlling excess facial oil.

Did your mum experience the same problem when she gave birth to you and your siblings? I think it is in the genes. Perhaps you inherit the genes from her, and next time, your children will have the same problem.

It's completely natural. Your hair stops shedding like it normally would while you're pregnant, and after you give birth and your hormones start returning to normal the process resumes again. It might seem like you're losing a lot, but that's just because there's more being shed at a time than normal.

That's what I was doing for the past 4 days -- rubbing the aloe vera gel on my scalp an hour before taking a bath. This should be the 5th day but I had to attend mass early so I will just resume doing it tomorrow. I noticed on day 2 that I had only a few strands on my comb when I comb my hair unlike when I wasn't doing it. I was also thinking of posting it here and then I saw your post. Hihi!

You can always write your own experience on Oloe Vera to show others that this really works. Oloe vera is great, keep using it and your hair and scalp will be healthier.

As we age, our hair becomes thinner, so it is better to maintain it bymusing natural homemade solution.
