Los Angeles, California - Actor Vanessa Hudgens became a mother for the second time a few months ago – now she has given an honest insight into the reality after giving birth.

In her Instagram story, the 37-year-old shared a photo of herself holding a small tuft of loose hair and wrote: "And so it begins."

This is because, after the birth of her daughter, Hudgens has been struggling with hair loss!

Just two photos later in the story, she posted another picture of herself and joked that she still had beautiful hair despite the hair loss.

According to experts, hair loss after pregnancy is not an uncommon thing; hormonal changes are the trigger.

The health symptom can occur around three months after giving birth and then can last up to six months, but it is usually only a temporary health issue.

In November of last year, the High School Musical actor and her husband Cole Tucker announced the birth of their second child on Instagram.

This was just around 18 months after they became first-time parents to their son in the summer of 2024.
