Can I use it preventively before pregnancy to avoid postpartum hair loss?Updated a year ago
During pregnancy, the bodys typical hair shedding cycle is postponed and many women notice a change in their hair quality during pregnancy, often more voluminous and lustrous. However, around 12 to 16 weeks after giving birth, many hairs enter into a resting phase and begin to shed, initiating the hair loss that did not occur during pregnancy. This often feels like excessive shedding and may give cause for concern but is a natural part of the hair cycle and signifies the body returning to its normal state. That said, many women experience changes to the texture and quality of their hair after childbirth. This is typically a sign of a predisposition to genetic thinning and can trigger a gradual yet more aggressive miniaturisation of the hair follicles. After giving birth, particularly the first time, most women encounter an entirely different lifestyle, with new eating habits and sleep patterns, both of which can stress the body and exacerbate hereditary hair thinning. For those who have given birth 6+ months ago and have noticed their hair returning thinner or not in the same quality, we recommend taking our Hair Assessment or scheduling a consultation to get started on a personalised hair regime.
