The Duchess of Cambridge's post pregnancy problem

Do you notice something different about the Duchess of Cambridge?
Ok, ok you’ve worn me down, I’ll tell you. It’s her hair. The once most envious locks (that even Jennifer Anniston herself claimed to be jealous of) have been looking a little lacklustre ever since the birth of Prince George.
Don’t get me wrong, she’s still absolutely stunning, but her hair seems to have lost its shampoo-commercial-worthy shine.
It seems so unfair that after carrying around extra weight for nine months and then pushing out a small human, women then have to deal with less than lustrous hair. Who came up with that genius concept?
“During pregnancy, increased levels of estrogen prolong the growing stage of hair,” reports babycenter.com, which means hair becomes thicker, shinier and quite luxurious throughout pregnancy. But then, “after you give birth, your estrogen levels take a tumble and a lot more hair follicles enter the resting stage.” And what comes after the resting stage? Hair loss! Bloody brilliant.
Thankfully, there are a few products that can help with post pregnancy hair and get it back to its pre-baby glory days.
Post-pregnancy hair products to try: APIVITA PROPOLINE Women’s tonic shampoo for thinning hair, Lush Big (vegan), SCHWARZKOPF EXTRA CARE HAIR CARE Ultimate Oil Elixir Serum, Paul Mitchell Volumising Spray and Klorane Strengthening Serum Spray (which is especially formulated to provide a boost for women suffering with thinning, suffering and limp looking hair following pregnancy or stress and fatigue.)
You can also try adding these foods to your diet and if all else fails, there’s always the option of a celebrity-inspired shorter style.

I have used spell casting to get my ex husband back to me and also get pregnant with twins girls through the help of a great and trusted spell caster after 12 years of marriage.
When I came online last year, I met a testimony about Priest ODUNGA who has been helping people and I decided to contact him. We spoke on email at (odungaspelltemple@gmail.com) and later he gave me his Whats App number which is +2348167159012 and he assured me he would help me get my ex husband back after 3 years of no contact. My husband left me because I was unable to give him a child for 9 years after our marriage. There was no contact between us anymore and I didn't know how to get to him. Priest Odunga is the best spell caster I must say. My husband called me after 24 hours of contacting Priest Odunga. Soon I received a herbal medicine for fertility from this man, I became fertile. I and my husband reconnected that very week, had sex and I became pregnant. Today, I am happy today to be the mother of twins girls and this is ALL THANKS TO PRIEST ODUNGA. I came online to say this If you need help, I believe you are saved with this spell caster. Contact his email at (odungaspelltemple@gmail.com) and you too will give a testimony too to help others

She's still beautiful all the time. Who cares about her hair, she has enough to worry about in life.

Wow, what a bummer! I'm sure the Duchess' hair dresser will work wonders though.

I never realized that Mothers-to-be could experience this! I thought perhaps she just hadn't had time to get down to the salon or something.
Definitely going to bookmark this article and take action to prevent this should I ever have a child!

I read that Kate was trying to avoid using chemicals and non-natural products whilst she was breastfeeding.

I remember losing a lot of hair post pregnancy, all 3 times. But other than that, the condition was still very good

To b e fair though, those aren't really fair-to-compare pictures. Completely different lighting, setting and occasion.

And also may I add that it might have something to do with post-pregnancy vitamin/minerals depletion - if you keep up with supplement while you breastfeed, it will help

Oh Jesus c'mon, maybe it was just her 'bad hair day'...the article title 'post-pregnancy problem' sounds a bit dramatic if you ask me. True, during pregnancy, most women's hair tends to be thicker and glossier due to hormones. I'm pregnant too and have long hair, I have noticed my hair doesn't fall out as much when I wash it.
But ultimately it's an illusion - you retain more hair during pregnancy, and the extra hair falls out afterwards - creating an illusion of losing extra hair. Chill out peeps, in the long run it will balance out.

Awww poor Kate. I think the lighting in these photos makes a difference, as well as the windy weather. I can't even leave my hair down on a windy day! She's doing an amazing job. Good on you Kate!
