It can affect your body in different ways. You may even experience hair loss.

During this time, a woman may not only experience the emotional trauma, but also a drastic drop in the hormones, particularly estrogen and progesterone. This sudden drop may lead to hair loss after a miscarriage. While you cannot immediately stop hair loss, you can make efforts to support new, healthy hair growth and minimise further damage.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"causes\">What causes hair loss after a miscarriage?<\/h2>\n<p>Hair loss can affect anybody, but some women also experience it following pregnancy loss.

Image courtesy: Adobe Stock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Here\u2019s why it may happen:<\/p>\n<h3>1. Sudden drop in certain hormones<\/h3>\n<p>During pregnancy, experiencing a surge in hormones, especially estrogen and progesterone, is common. \u201cThese hormones play a major role in maintaining the pregnancy and also influence the hair growth cycle,\u201d says dermatologist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthshots.com\/experts\/dr-sheena-kapoor\/\">Dr Sheena Kapoor<\/a>. High <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthshots.com\/preventive-care\/self-care\/what-is-estrogen-dominance-know-its-signs-and-causes\/\">levels of estrogen<\/a>, in particular, prolong the anagen (growth) phase of hair. This can lead to voluminous hair that many pregnant women enjoy. \u201cAfter a miscarriage, there is a rapid and drastic drop in these hormone levels, which can cause hair loss\u201d says the expert.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Telogen effluvium<\/h3>\n<p>This sudden hormonal decline acts as a shock to the hair follicles. So, instead of remaining in the active growth phase, many hair follicles prematurely enter the telogen (resting) phase. \u201cTypically, hair stays in the telogen phase for about three to six months before it sheds,\u201d says the expert. This is known as telogen effluvium, which is the primary cause of hair loss experienced after a miscarriage.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Stress<\/h3>\n<p>Miscarriage can be deeply traumatic, which can lead to significant emotional stress and grief. During a study, published in the <a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC9937061\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Frontiers In Global Women\u2019s Health<\/a>, high stress levels were reported in over 40 percent of women with recurrent miscarriage. \u201cHigh levels of stress can trigger an increase in the stress hormone, cortisol, which can further disrupt the hair growth cycle and exacerbate telogen effluvium,\u201d says Dr Kapoor. The emotional toll can also lead to poor eating habits or sleep patterns, indirectly affecting hair health.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Nutritional deficiencies<\/h3>\n<p>It is not a direct cause, but the physical demands of pregnancy, even if it was a short-lived one, can deplete the body\u2019s nutrient stores. \u201cIf a woman was already low in certain vitamins and minerals crucial for hair health (like iron, B vitamins, and vitamin D), the stress and recovery post-miscarriage can worsen these deficiencies, contributing to hair loss,\u201d says the expert.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"duration\">How long does hair loss after a miscarriage last?<\/h2>\n<p>The hair shedding associated with telogen effluvium typically becomes noticeable about 3 to 6 months after a miscarriage. \u201cThis delay is due to the natural hair growth cycle; it takes time for the follicles to transition into the resting phase and then for the hair to shed,\u201d explains the expert. Once the shedding begins, it can last for several months, often between three to six months, and sometimes even longer depending on individual factors like stress levels, nutritional status, and how quickly hormonal balance is restored.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mayInterest\">\n<p>You may also like<\/p>\n<div class=\"mayInterestRow\">\n<div class=\"likeColumn\">\n<div class=\"mayInterestRowThumb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthshots.com\/video\/now-you-know-why-episode-11-can-hair-oiling-reverse-balding\/\" onclick=\"dataLayer.push({'event':'story_click', 'widget_name':'You may also like', 'story_type':'story', 'position':'1', 'element':'card image', 'story_section':'Hair Care', 'story_title':'Why do you lose hair after a miscarriage \u2013 and what to do about it?', 'target_url':'https:\/\/www.healthshots.com\/video\/now-you-know-why-episode-11-can-hair-oiling-reverse-balding\/', 'current_url':'https:\/\/www.healthshots.com\/beauty\/hair-care\/hair-loss-after-a-miscarriage\/', 'data_source':'non_amp', 'property_language':'eng', 'user_ID':ga4ClientId, 'client_id':ga4ClientGaId});\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy lazyload\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthshots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/NYKW-Art-Work-website-1-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Now You Know Why | Episode 11: Can Hair Oiling Reverse Balding?\" title=\"Now You Know Why | Episode 11: Can Hair Oiling Reverse Balding?\" width=\"370\" height=\"207\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"likeColumn\">\n<div class=\"mayInterestRowThumb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthshots.com\/beauty\/hair-care\/hair-colour-shampoo\/\" onclick=\"dataLayer.push({'event':'story_click', 'widget_name':'You may also like', 'story_type':'story', 'position':'2', 'element':'card image', 'story_section':'Hair Care', 'story_title':'Why do you lose hair after a miscarriage \u2013 and what to do about it?', 'target_url':'https:\/\/www.healthshots.com\/beauty\/hair-care\/hair-colour-shampoo\/', 'current_url':'https:\/\/www.healthshots.com\/beauty\/hair-care\/hair-loss-after-a-miscarriage\/', 'data_source':'non_amp', 'property_language':'eng', 'user_ID':ga4ClientId, 'client_id':ga4ClientGaId});\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy lazyload\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" src=\"https:\/\/images.healthshots.com\/healthshots\/en\/uploads\/2025\/06\/13151548\/hair-colour-1-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"7 best hair colour shampoos: Safe, easy and mess-free options\" title=\"7 best hair colour shampoos: Safe, easy and mess-free options\" width=\"370\" height=\"207\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"how_to_stop\">How to stop hair loss after a miscarriage?<\/h2>\n<p>Here\u2019s what you can do to encourage hair regrowth after a miscarriage:<\/p>\n<h3>1. Give importance to balanced diet<\/h3>\n<p>Adequate nutrition is essential for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthshots.com\/beauty\/hair-care\/antioxidant-rich-foods-for-hair-growth\/\">healthy hair growth<\/a>. \u201cHair follicles require a steady supply of vitamins, minerals, and proteins to function optimally,\u201d says the expert. Focus on foods rich in protein (eggs, lean meats, poultry, fish, soy products, lentils, nuts, seeds and cottage cheese), iron (spinach, fortified cereals, red meat), zinc (nuts, seeds, legumes), biotin (eggs, nuts, sweet potatoes), and vitamins A, C, D, and E (colourful fruits and vegetables).<\/p>\n<h3>2. Hydration<\/h3>\n<p>Ensure you are well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water and eating fruits and vegetables high in water content. Lack of water can lead to dry hair, which can cause hair loss, as per research published in the <a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC10750333\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">International Journal Of Medical Sciences<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Manage stress<\/h3>\n<p>Make stress-reduction techniques part of your daily routine. You can regularly exercise, do meditation, deep breathing exercises, mindfulness, spend time in nature or engage in hobbies you enjoy. If you feel the need, take help from your family, friends or a therapist.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Avoid harsh treatments<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cYour hair is already vulnerable during this period, so avoid anything that can cause further damage to the hair shaft and follicles,\u201d says the expert. Take a break from excessive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthshots.com\/beauty\/hair-care\/love-getting-a-blow-dry-heres-a-cheat-sheet-to-tame-all-that-resultant-hair-damage\/\">heat styling<\/a> (straighteners, curling irons, hot blow dryers), chemical treatments (perms, relaxers, harsh dyes), and tight hairstyles that pull on the scalp.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_136497\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-136497\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-136497 size-full lazyload\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images.healthshots.com\/healthshots\/en\/uploads\/2025\/02\/21181509\/Hair-loss.jpg\" alt=\"hair loss\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/images.healthshots.com\/healthshots\/en\/uploads\/2025\/02\/21181509\/Hair-loss.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/images.healthshots.com\/healthshots\/en\/uploads\/2025\/02\/21181509\/Hair-loss-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/images.healthshots.com\/healthshots\/en\/uploads\/2025\/02\/21181509\/Hair-loss-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/images.healthshots.com\/healthshots\/en\/uploads\/2025\/02\/21181509\/Hair-loss-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/images.healthshots.com\/healthshots\/en\/uploads\/2025\/02\/21181509\/Hair-loss-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/images.healthshots.com\/healthshots\/en\/uploads\/2025\/02\/21181509\/Hair-loss-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/images.healthshots.com\/healthshots\/en\/uploads\/2025\/02\/21181509\/Hair-loss-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/images.healthshots.com\/healthshots\/en\/uploads\/2025\/02\/21181509\/Hair-loss-159x90.jpg 159w, https:\/\/images.healthshots.com\/healthshots\/en\/uploads\/2025\/02\/21181509\/Hair-loss-370x207.jpg 370w, https:\/\/images.healthshots.com\/healthshots\/en\/uploads\/2025\/02\/21181509\/Hair-loss-223x125.jpg 223w, https:\/\/images.healthshots.com\/healthshots\/en\/uploads\/2025\/02\/21181509\/Hair-loss-627x354.jpg 627w, https:\/\/images.healthshots.com\/healthshots\/en\/uploads\/2025\/02\/21181509\/Hair-loss-141x79.jpg 141w, https:\/\/images.healthshots.com\/healthshots\/en\/uploads\/2025\/02\/21181509\/Hair-loss-207x116.jpg 207w, https:\/\/images.healthshots.com\/healthshots\/en\/uploads\/2025\/02\/21181509\/Hair-loss-150x84.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-136497\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Be gentle while combing your hair.

Be gentle with your hair<\/h3>\n<p>Use lukewarm water for washing your hair instead of using excessively hot water, as it can strip the scalp of natural oils and make your tresses weak.

Go for regular scalp and hair nourishment<\/h3>\n<p>Massaging your scalp with natural oils like coconut oil twice a week can improve blood circulation to the scalp, and provide nourishment to the hair follicles.

Listen to your body and resume normal activities gradually.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faqBlock\">\n<h3>Does hair grow back after a miscarriage?<span class=\"plusicon\"\/><\/h3>\n<div class=\"faqMore\">\n<p>Yes, in majority of cases, hair does grow back after a miscarriage. The hair loss experienced is primarily due to telogen effluvium, which is a temporary condition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faqBlock\">\n<h3>Is hair loss a symptom of high progesterone?<span class=\"plusicon\"\/><\/h3>\n<div class=\"faqMore\">\n<p>No, hair loss is generally not a symptom of high progesterone. In fact, during pregnancy, high levels of both estrogen and progesterone are associated with thicker hair and a reduction in normal hair shedding. This is because these hormones prolong the growth phase of hair follicles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faqBlock\">\n<h3>What blood test is done for hair loss?<span class=\"plusicon\"\/><\/h3>\n<div class=\"faqMore\">\n<p>One of the common blood tests is Complete Blood Count to check for anemia, particularly iron-deficiency anemia, which is a common cause of hair loss. Thyroid Function Tests help to assess thyroid gland function. Both hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) can cause hair loss.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Miscarriage is the loss of pregnancy before reaching the 20th week.
