Carey Mulligan recently gave birth to her first child - but now that she's in the postpartum phase, she could start to see some associated hair loss.
Postpartum hair loss is relatively common - but don't worry, it isn't permanent. The medical community believes it could be triggered by the hormonal fluctuations that occur during this period. While pregnant, women see a surge in their estrogen and progesterone levels (which is why women have such great hair when pregnant) - and after the baby is born, these levels return to the pre-pregnancy level. It is this sudden drop-off in hormone levels that causes the hair follicles to go into short-term shock.
As a result, shedding is quite common in the weeks, and months, following the delivery.
The actress may not experience postpartum hair loss - but if she does, I hope her doctors will tell her not to worry. Postpartum hair loss is normal, temporary, and shouldn't be a problem.

Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence is making headlines for her new dramatic pixie cut. It appears the new look isn't for a new role, but instead, the result of excessive styling for recent roles.
"My hair couldn't get any uglier," she was quoted after the cut. She later clarified her statements by admitting that part of the reason she chopped her hair was because it was "fried from being dyed too much."
Jennifer is hardly the first celebrity starlet to see damage following over-styling. She joins Megan Fox, Carey Mulligan, January Jones and Lady Gaga, who have all admitted to hair woes, and even hair loss, following constant color changes.
Many women don’t realize that chemicals like bleaches and
dyes fundamentally change the structure of their hair, making it weaker and
more susceptible to breakage and damage. Overusing these treatments and frequent color changes can lead to
breakage, hair fallout, loss of density and volume, and in some severe cases,
even traction alopecia.
Reese Witherspoon, Fiola Hughes, and Carey Mulligan have all admitted to using Viviscal, a vitamin supplement to help keep their hair healthy.
Viviscal nutritional supplements are clinically proven as an effective tool to help women and men fishing thinning and unhealthy hair.
Now, celebrity stylists are publicly endorsing the product too. Celebrity stylist Guido Palau recommends a six-month course of Viviscal. "I've known loads of people who have used it, and they've all said it's the only thing that helped regenerate their hair."
Another celebrity hairstylist, Harry Josh, also suggested it to several of his clients: "I've recommended it to everyone at one point or another – Gisele, Cameron, Demi – whether they wanted to get over a haircut they didn't like or wanted longer hair faster."
While there are numerous over the counter options out there, I prefer Viviscal Pro, a vitamin supplement, which can only be prescribed by a physician.
The bottom line is, the best thing you can do for your hair is preventative care, and Viviscal is a simple and effective way to keep your hair healthy.
Carey Mulligan is experiencing thinning hair due to the stress bleaching and changing hairstyles has caused over the past few years.
According to British newspaper The Daily Mail, the 25-year old actress is reportedly taking a vitamin supplement to help accelerate the hair growth process. Hair vitamins, such as Viviscal, can aid those suffering from hair loss or thinning in achieving stronger, healthier hair.
However, if Carey wants to optimize her results, which as a young actress I'm sure she does, I would recommend combining the supplement with a regimen of Low Level Laser Therapy which is known to stimulate growth and help create thicker, fuller, healthier hair.
