When hair loss occurs due to kidney deficiency, normally, hair will regrow after the kidney deficiency is treated. However, in severe cases of kidney deficiency where hair loss occurs, some patients may not experience regrowth, so results can vary from person to person. During treatment, it can be beneficial to consume foods like black sesame seeds, walnuts, and black beans, which can effectively promote hair development and provide relief. It is crucial to treat kidney deficiency promptly to prevent exacerbating the condition, making it more difficult to cure. It is also important to avoid staying up late regularly.

How to nourish through diet for postpartum hair loss?

When experiencing postpartum hair loss, women should enhance their nutrition by consuming more iron-rich foods, such as soybeans, black beans, seafood, spinach, and red beans, all of which contain abundant iron. Iron deficiency after childbirth is also related to the occurrence of anemia. Additionally, consuming plenty of protein-rich foods is essential, particularly since the growth of hair needs the amino acid cysteine. Therefore, it's indispensable to supplement proteins. In everyday life, one can eat chicken, beef, eggs, milk, and soy products, which all are rich in high-quality plant proteins and are excellent choices. Moreover, it’s beneficial to eat a moderate amount of iodine-containing foods, such as kelp and seaweed.

What is the reason for severe hair loss after childbirth?

Postpartum hair loss is severe and is mostly associated with deficiency in both Qi and blood after childbirth. Some patients experience this due to lack of vitamins, trace elements, or changes in endocrine function. If hair loss is severe and persistent without good treatment results, it is recommended to visit a formal hospital to initially check for a complete blood count to see if there is any anemia and to check for trace elements deficiencies. If these conditions exist, it is advisable to take medications that supplement blood, vitamins, and trace elements according to the symptoms. Additionally, some patients may experience symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, and back pain. For these symptoms, visiting a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and using herbal medicine for a long-term treatment can be effective. Regularly regulate your diet and lifestyle habits, try to avoid eating foods with heavy flavors, ensure good rest, and avoid staying up late.

Can I perm my hair after postpartum hair loss?

When postpartum hair loss has occurred, avoid perming your hair. Although postpartum hair loss is a normal physiological phenomenon, perming during this time can exacerbate hair loss. This is because the chemicals used during perming can irritate the scalp and may also cause allergies, worsening hair loss. Therefore, it is generally advised not to perm your hair too soon after childbirth. In daily life, it's important to rest, enhance nutrition, and adjust your mindset. Only consider perming your hair after your body has fully recovered. Moreover, during breastfeeding, try to avoid perming your hair to prevent chemicals from entering the bloodstream and affecting the baby through the breast milk.
