Hallow Dear,
During post delivery period, loss of hair (associated with sagging of the breasts) is a common problem. This is mainly due to insufficient supplementation of the nutrients. The baby is taking whatever is needed for it. If the supplementation is not adequate, women face different deficiencies.
Mainly proteins, Vitamin A (and even other vitamins also) are required for healthy hair growth. Please include high quality proteins with fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables in your diet. Bean sprouts is a very good source of pre-digested proteins. Iron deficiency and/or anaemia also lead to unhealthy hair and hence loss of hair. Please start iron tablets regularly.
Use of Shatavari (Arrowroot) powder in a glassful of milk has proved to stop hair loss and sagging of the breasts. You may try it.
Please do not apply strong shampoo and conditioner to the hair. Do not take head-bath by very hot water. Apply coconut or maka oil to hair. This will hep you have good hair again.
Hope this helps you.
