Shedding hair in the first 2 to 6 months after having a baby is not unusual. During pregnancy the body's estrogen and progesterone levels increase which keeps the hair in an ongoing stage of growth - resulting in thick and lush hair.

The causes of the temporary excessive hair shedding range from operations, end of pregnancy, fevers, change in diet, and medication. Excessive hair shedding can be chronic. The common causes of chronic har shedding are underlying medical or nutritional problems (like mineral deficiencies, anemia and hormonal imbalances). Consult a dermatologist.

Split ends are caused by anything that can damage the cuticle (the outer layer of the hair shaft). This includes using heat, chemicals (dyes, relaxers), and physical damage (combing). Once your hair is split, it cannot be repaired. The only way to fix it is a trim. If the split ends aren't cut off, the hair will keep breaking higher and higher along the hair shaft.

Relaxers break the dishulphide bonds in your hair and permanently change your curl pattern from curly to straight. This process cannot be reversed.
