How to care for postpartum hair

☀️Bouncing back from postpartum hair blues?

“They don’t tell you how much your hair will truly change during postpartum. With postpartum shedding & dryness I have been struggling to help my hair maintain moisture & keeping my strands strong.

☀️The Bask and Bloom Hy-Fresh Conditioning Spray instantly added lasting moisture to my hair! & started defining my curls in seconds.

☀️Adding the Ease Leave - In Conditioner & sealing with the Herbal Infused Hair & Scalp Oil helped to lock in the moisture from the spray while defining my style.

My goal while healing my hair from postpartum is to maintain moisture and retain length.

Braidouts and protective styles have worked best so I’m excited to bring these products on the journey with me to repairing my hair”

... Read morePostpartum hair care can be challenging, but understanding the changes your hair goes through during this period can help. Hair loss is a common experience for new mothers due to hormonal fluctuations, and it's essential to adopt a nourishing routine to combat this. Consider incorporating products specifically designed to retain moisture, like leave-in conditioners and hydrating sprays. Ingredients such as argan oil and aloe vera can help soothe the scalp and promote healthy hair growth. Regularly using protective styles can also minimize breakage and allow your hair to recover. Additionally, a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals is crucial for hair restoration. Focus on including foods high in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and biotin, which support hair health. Staying hydrated is equally important for maintaining moisture levels in your hair. While the postpartum phase can be overwhelming, establishing a consistent hair care routine can lead to significant improvements in the strength and appearance of your hair over time.
