Postpartum Hairloss - what products actually work?!

I use batana oil and rosemary oil on my hair 2/3x a week for the past 6 months or so. It has really thickened my hair because I was losing so much at the scalp!

First of all I’m sorry you’re loosing hair. Yes it happens to all of us but that doesn’t make it feel less devastating. I’m not sure about supplements or products but if you can eat peas everyday they help so much with stimulating hair growth and lowering oxidative stress. They have b6, iron, folate and biotin which is literally plummeting at 4 months pp. i prefer getting vitamins from food but you have to eat it regularly. I hope this helps!

Rosemary oil on roots for a few hours before washing (2-3 times a week), jojoba oil on ends every day, scalp stimulation, gentle brushing starting from the ends and working up and sleep with it in protective styles. I also limited sleeping on my sides because I was losing it there the most

I found 4months post partum was where my hair loss was at a peak. I couldn’t bare looking at how much I was losing when I washed my hair 🤯 I didn’t really find anything that helps as it is hormone related and it’s very common after having a baby. Please be an assured though that it is only short lived. Just don’t be too rough with your hair at the moment, gentle brushing, no tight hair styles xx

100% natural coconut oil from the supermarket

Boots breastfeeding vitamins
Home made rosemary serum (boil water with rosemary leaves, cinnamon sticks, cloves, mint and pilled ginger). If you can use daily on scalp and massage.
Almond oil mixed with vitamin E.
Collagen powder daily from organika.

Unfortunately there’s not a lot you can do to prevent the hair loss - this is all hair that should have fallen out when you were pregnant. But it will grow back in a few months…

And then you’ll look really stupid because it will stick out in every direction! 😖 Help!

This is a totally natural process of postpartum and can last until 6mos. I had it bad and on top of the hair loss, my milk supply suffered too because of all the stress I was going through at the time. My recommendations are most importantly support you, your body, keep taking your prenatal, add in extra self care as you can, choose gentle hair styles, do a nice hair mask, there are also two different scalp health hair oils that I like. Innate Life and Amazing Hair Savior. Pricey but it helped my scalp health, overall hair health and growth.

This shampoo contains ketoconazole, which can help with hair loss.

Oh gosh the 4 month mark was real for hair loss. I don’t think anything truly works but I found these things did help manage it. I’m now 12 months pp and really seeing a big improvement.

Wash every other day/3days
Leave your hair down/ use a scrunchie if up
Vitamins and collagen (they do work but take a while to really see the benefit- stick with them)
Find a good clarifying scalp shampoo and conditioner and again just stick with it- don’t change it too much. Use it every few washes and the just a regular shampoo in between. Don’t over massage your scalp either.
Limit the amount of heat you use on your hair.
Regular hair cuts- chop as much as you can off to help the re growth.
Try out some new hair styles to make you just feel a little more confident while it’s going through a scary hair phase!

Best of luck x

Hey! So I bought Baby don’t be bald on Amazon for my baby and I wanted to do a test to see if it actually worked and started using it on myself to compare and it has definitely helped my hair grow!
