My Hair is SHEDDING

A few months postpartum, you will start to notice a gradual loss of hair. But don’t worry, this is totally normal! We have a shift in hormone levels to thank for this particular transition known as Postpartum Hair Loss.

Seeing more hair fall out than usual can be stressful. One reassuring sign is that the hair does grow back! It is not a permanent loss of hair. While it is incredibly annoying pulling hair out of your brushes, or off your fingers in the shower, know that it isn’t gone forever.

My personal experience with postpartum hair loss is that it started falling out around four months PP, and continued for about 6 months. By the time my daughter turned one, the additional shedding of hair had subsided.

I started to experience hair regrowth and soon enough the emergence of baby hairs appeared. These baby hairs can look wild, so I suggest getting a styling cream if you want to tame those bad boys. A quick slick back pony can be your bff during periods of hair regrowth. Volumizing Dry Shampoo or textured spray can help create fullness as well.

All in all, our babies are worth every single “loss”. From hair loss, to loss of sleep, those baby smiles make it all better!

Postpartum hair loss is a common issue that many new mothers face, triggered by hormonal fluctuations after childbirth. Typically, shedding begins around four months postpartum and can continue for about six months. During this period, it's vital to understand that this hair loss is not permanent. The regrowth phase brings baby hairs, which can often appear unruly. Utilizing styling creams can help manage these new strands, while volumizing shampoos can enhance fullness. It's important to maintain a nurturing hair care regime during this transition. Also, don't hesitate to seek support from other mothers or professionals who understand the nuances of postpartum experiences. Embracing this natural phase can help alleviate stress while prioritizing the well-being of both you and your baby. Remember, every challenge comes with its silver linings, much like those precious smiles that make the journey worthwhile.

There’s lots of postpartum hair loss vitamins, hair growth serums, and collagen supplements that help with regrowth. You can definitely find a brand and type of product that would be the best fit for you 😊

If your low porosity hair stays dry, frizzy, or brittle no matter what products you use, your routine is probably the issue. Most low porosity girlies clarify too often, skip heat during deep conditioning, or use oils that are too heavy for their cuticle. Low porosity hair needs warm water, hyd
