Ashley Graham has previously been open about suffering from postpartum hair loss, first following the birth of her first child, Isaac, and most recently following the birth of twins, Malachi and Roman. Graham has an update on her hair for her Instagram fans now, about seven months after giving birth to the twins: Her hair is growing back.

The supermodel captioned a series of photos of herself with her hair down, including a closeup of her hairline in a recent Instagram post , “Swipe to see my hairline coming in.” Many folks in the comments section felt she was alluding to postpartum hair loss even though she didn’t address it in her caption. One individual remarked, “OMG my baby boy is nine months old and I lost some of my hair.” “Yes! When you notice your body returning to you after those babies, it is such a satisfying feeling “another added. Another person added, “Felt the postpartum baby hair dilemma.
Through her Instagram Stories early this year, Graham discussed her most recent interaction with hair loss after giving birth to the twins . The supermodel claimed to Parents last year that after giving birth to her first kid in 2020, her “whole hairline fell out.” She claimed in the interview, “That was more painful than even birth because I was like, ‘My hair’s falling out in clumps, what am I doing?'” before later learning “it’s actually a thing.”
According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) , postpartum hair loss is common and many new mothers have visible hair loss a few months after giving birth. According to the AAD, this is referred to as “excessive hair shedding” rather than hair loss. According to the organization, it is brought on by the declining estrogen levels.
The good news is that postpartum hair loss is transient, and there are coping mechanisms available in the interim. The AAD advises using conditioner made for thin hair and volumizing shampoo to make hair appear fuller. Additionally, you should stay away from “conditioning shampoos” and “intense conditioners,” according to the AAD, as both can weigh down hair and make it appear limp.
Graham appears to have developed a unique strategy for regrowing her hair after having child. The model acknowledged Krastase Initialiste’s scalp and hair serum for aiding the regrowth of her baby hairs along her hairline in July 2020. She added on the video at the time, “No one is paying me for this. I was panicking, but now I know, so I’m just telling you.”
According to the AAD, most women see their hair fullness return to normal a year after the birth of their child, but you may be able to accelerate the process with the supermodel-approved serum. Oh, the delights of being a mother.
