Question 9

help please! could breastfeeding mother do hair rebonding?

Accepted Answer

Hair rebonding: There is no way to answer this question with certainty as there are not likely to be information available. Since hair rebonding involves use of chemicals it may be safer to wait until breastfeeding is complete, however as the chemicals are external it would be safer than during pregnancy, and may be safe if toxic chemical vapors are not inhaled.

Question 10

are there any natural/safe remedies for growing out your hair while breastfeeding?

Accepted Answer

No: Several months after you deliver, you will experience an increase in hair fallout.  This is normal and is a hormonal effect.  The variation in hair growth and fallout is overly synchronized by pregnancy.  This will become more un-synchronized as time goes on and you will notice a decrease in noticeable hair loss.
