Postpartum Hair Loss Guide For New Mothers

Postpartum hair loss is a common condition

Becoming a mother comes with a lot of changes, one of which includes postpartum hair loss. It is a common condition that has significant impact to a new mothers mental health and physical appearence, but can be managed with the right approach. Here, we explore 8 ways to manage postpartum hair loss.

Use Good Hair and Scalp Hygiene

One of the most effective ways to reduce and even prevent postpartum hair loss is to keep your hair and scalp clean. Use a gentle shampoo that is formulated to repair and strengthen damaged hair. Follow up with a scalp therapy conditioner to strengthen and thicken your hair follicles. You can also try a treatment shampoo that counteracts hair thinning and improves the overall hair density and promotes a healthy scalp.

Diversify Your Hydration

Adequate hydration is crucial for maintaining overall health and preventing postpartum loss. Inadequate water intake can result in the weakening and brittleness of hair follicles, contributing to hair loss. It is imperative to consume a minimum of eight glasses of water daily to ensure optimal hydration levels in the body and hair. For many adhering to this practice can be challenging at times. Explore different ways to hydrate such as drinking teas or infusing water with fruits. One of our favourite teas is  the Candy Crush Rejuvenating Loose Black Tea blend and it is an excellent choice to support healthy hair care. This tea blend contains Safflower Oil, which is rich in essential fatty acids that facilitate healthy hair growth and reduce hair loss.

Rethink Heat Styling

Heat styling tools like flat irons and curling irons can damage your hair and make it more prone to breakage and hair loss. Try to minimise the use of these tools or use them at a lower heat or the cool setting if your appliance has this. You can also use a heat protectant spray on your hair prior to styling  to protect your hair from heat damage.

Be Gentle With Your Hair

When you’re experiencing postpartum hair loss, it’s essential to be gentle with your hair. Avoid brushing or combing your hair when it’s wet, as this can weaken the hair follicles and lead to breakage. Use a wide-tooth comb to detangle your hair. Avoid tight hairstyles like braids or ponytails, which can pull on your hair with continued use, weaken the hair follicles  and cause damage and breakage.

Argan Oil Before Shampooing

Argan Oil is rich in antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and vitamin E, all of which nourish and strengthen your hair.  Our Argan Carrier Oil is a natural oil derived from the kernels of the Argan tree, native to Morocco. Argan Oil is also known for its ability to hydrate and protect hair from damage caused by styling tools and environmental factors. Using your hands, apply 8 to 10 drops of Argan Oil onto your scalp, and work it through your hair with your fingers. Use it as a leave-in treatment by applying it to your hair before bed and shampooing in the morning.

Add Sweetness to Your Hair Routine

Maybe Argan Oil isn’t for you? Sweet Almond Oil is also known for its ability to moisturise the scalp and promote healthy hair growth. Our Sweet Almond Carrier Oil is a natural oil that’s extracted from the seeds of the Almond Tree. Rich in vitamins A, B, and E, as well as omega-3 fatty acids, all of which nourish and strengthen your hair. Apply a small amount into the palms of your hands, 8 to 10 drops should be enough, and rub the oil between your palms before applying it to your scalp. This warms the oil up and increases absorbency. Massage the Sweet Almond Oil into your scalp and work it through your hair. Leave it in for at least an hour before shampooing your hair. Natural oils like Sweet Almond Oil are an excellent addition to your hair care routine, especially if you’re experiencing postpartum hair loss.
