Hair Loss: 5 ways to deal with postpartum hair loss

Let’s start with the basics – your body just made a whole human, so it’s pretty depleted. Now it’s time to refuel, especially if you want that hair bounce back. Load up on foods that help strengthen your strands from the inside out:

Iron-rich foods like spinach, dates, and lentils (iron deficiency = hair fall).

Protein (your hair is basically made of it!) – think eggs, paneer, chicken, and nuts.

Biotin and zinc – found in sweet potatoes, almonds, and mushrooms.

Omega-3s – flaxseeds, walnuts, and fatty fish are your friends.

If you’re still breastfeeding, stick to your prenatal vitamins or ask your doctor before popping new supplements. But good food = good hair, always.
