Brief Answer:
Hair loss common post delivery

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Post partum hair loss is a very common problem.
It is typically seen after about three months of delivery.
It tends to stay for different intervals in different people.
But the good thing is that it is not permanent.
Most importantly, your sister should not worry about this hair fall. It will soon stop and regrowth of hair will be seen.
She can start with application of a topical steroid lotion called zydip lotion over the scalp at night daily .
She can continue to use any normal shampoo.
Since it it a common and a normal phenomenon to loose hair after delivery,so you need to assure her that this hair fall will soon stop and she will regain her normal hair once again.
