The postpartum period brings big changes – not just emotionally and physically, but hormonally too. Many new mothers experience Telogen Effluvium, a temporary yet often distressing form of hair shedding that can appear suddenly after childbirth. Our Hair Loss Serum is developed with clinically researched ingredients to help revitalise tired follicles, restore balance to the scalp, and encourage healthy regrowth. Gentle, effective, and rooted in science, it’s made to support you through this transition. Because your hair deserves care, just like you do.
During pregnancy, elevated levels of oestrogen help keep hair in the growing (anagen) phase, leading to thicker, more lustrous locks. However, after giving birth, hormone levels – especially oestrogen – drop rapidly, which can shock hair follicles into the shedding (telogen) phase all at once. This leads to significant hair fall, typically peaking between 2 to 4 months postpartum.
This process is known as Telogen Effluvium, and it’s a common – and temporary – response to hormonal fluctuations, physical stress, and changes in nutrient stores. Sleep deprivation, breastfeeding demands, and postpartum nutrient depletion (like iron and zinc) can further impact hair health during this time.
Oestrogen plays a vital role in maintaining hair growth, and during pregnancy, it extends the anagen phase – meaning less hair falls out. After delivery, as hormone levels stabilise, a large number of hairs synchronise into the telogen (resting) phase and are shed together.
This sudden release of hair can feel alarming, but it’s typically a temporary phase in the hair cycle. Unlike pattern hair loss, postpartum shedding does not cause permanent follicle shrinkage or thinning – meaning, with the right support, regrowth is not only possible but expected.
Recovering from postpartum hair loss takes time and a bit of extra self-care. Here are some gentle, supportive steps that can make a difference:
Most importantly, be kind to yourself – postpartum hair loss is normal and will usually resolve with time and care.
