Hair Care - Postpartum Hair

Was your hair shinier, thicker, and more complimented than ever while pregnant?

It’s not your imagination. Most women find that pregnancy makes their hair thicker. When pregnant the rise in hormones means you are also less likely to shed as much hair as you would have previously this also gives you the illusion of much thicker hair and then when you do begin to shed hair after bub arrives it can seem all the more prevalent.

Postpartum hair loss can set in any day after your baby arrives, and it sometimes continues for as long as a year. It usually peaks around the 3-4 month mark, so if your baby is a few months old and you’re still losing clumps of hair, that doesn’t mean it’s time to panic!

Things To Note

Is my hair loss normal?

In most cases, your postpartum hair loss is totally normal and is your body’s way of shedding the hair is kept ahold of during pregnancy. We know it can seem like a lot of hair is coming out but on average a woman loses 60-100 strands a day before conception anyway. Postpartum hair loss is usually double this but still not anything to worry about. If you’re still seeing large clumps in your hairbrush after your baby hits their 1st birthday, you may want to talk to your doctor about any underlying reasons this is still occurring.
Things To Note

Treat yourself

Weekly treatment is great for all hair but postpartum hair especially. Many women note their hair texture seems different after birth so a nourishing and smoothing treatment like O&M Power Base or Davines Wake Up Circle will add in hydration.
Things To Note

Eat for Hair Growth

Eating for your hair is simply eating a whole diet. Full of a variety of fruits, vegetables, and healthy proteins in your diet is the best way to make sure your body is getting all the nutrients it needs. Foods we love for postpartum hair and health include dark leafy greens (for the iron and vitamin C), sweet potatoes and carrots (for the beta carotene), eggs (for the vitamin D), and fish (for omega-3s and magnesium).
