Hair changes after pregnancy can feel overwhelming — especially when shedding, thinning edges, or reduced fullness start affecting how you feel about your hair. The good news? Postpartum hair loss is common, and with the right routine, healthier-looking growth and fuller-feeling hair can return over time.
WHAT CAUSES POST-PARTUM SHEDDING
For New Mums Experiencing Hair Shedding
During pregnancy, elevated estrogen levels can keep hair in its growth phase for longer, often resulting in thicker, fuller hair. After childbirth, hormone levels decrease, causing more hairs to enter the shedding phase at once. This can lead to increased shedding, thinning around the hairline, and a temporary reduction in hair density. Symptoms typically begin 2–4 months after delivery and may continue for several months.
Consistency is key when it comes to restoring the look and feel of fuller, healthier hair after postpartum shedding.
Our postpartum hair care routine is designed to help:
- Support healthier-looking hair growth
- Nourish the scalp and hair follicles
- Reduce the appearance of thinning over time
- Improve softness, strength, and manageability
- Encourage a more consistent hair care routine
Hair growth is a gradual process, but many women begin noticing improvements in the look and feel of their hair with consistent use over several months.
