Selma Blair: "I'm going to be bald."



Actress Selma Blair recently gave birth to a baby boy and is opening up about her postpartum hair loss, saying in a recent interview, "I'm going to be bald."

Postpartum hair loss is relatively common - but she doesn't need to worry, it isn't permanent. The medical community believes the hair loss could be triggered by the hormonal fluctuations that occur during this period. While pregnant, women see a surge in their estrogen and progesterone levels (which is why women have such great hair when pregnant) - and after the baby is born, these levels return to the pre-pregnancy level. It is this sudden drop-off in hormone levels that causes the hair follicles to go into short-term shock.

As a result, shedding is quite common in the weeks following the delivery. But the bottom line is, postpartum hair loss is normal, temporary, and shouldn't be a problem or a cause for major concern.

But, if is she wants to speed up the hair recovery process, she may want to consider a regimen of low level laser therapy and a vitamin supplement like Viviscal to help stimulate healthy hair growth.

He'll likely need the aid of an FDA-approved medication like Rogaine or Propecia to stop or slow down further recession. Low level laser therapy may also be beneficial in stimulating healthy hair growth.
