Compassionate, evidence-based guidance for recovering from postpartum hair loss — because you deserve support too.

You՚ve just done something extraordinary — brought a new life into the world. And then, somewhere between three and six months postpartum, you notice your hair coming out in amounts that feel alarming. In the shower drain. On your pillow. On your baby՚s fingers. Postpartum hair loss is one of the most common and least talked-about experiences of new parenthood, affecting up to 50% of new mothers to a noticeable degree.

This site exists to give you the information, reassurance, and practical guidance that most healthcare providers don՚t have time to offer at those early check-ups. You՚re not losing your hair permanently — but understanding what՚s happening and how to support your recovery makes an enormous difference.

Understanding and Recovering

• The science of postpartum hair loss: During pregnancy, elevated oestrogen prolongs the hair՚s growth phase, leaving you with the famously lush pregnancy hair. After birth, as hormones normalise, those hairs synchronise into the shedding phase simultaneously — causing telogen effluvium. We explain exactly what՚s happening and what the typical timeline looks like.
• Nutritional recovery: The demands of pregnancy and breastfeeding deplete the nutrients most critical to hair growth — iron, ferritin, zinc, biotin, and vitamin D. We explain how to address those deficiencies safely, especially while breastfeeding.
• Gentle styling strategies: How to style your hair during the recovery phase to minimise the visual impact of shedding — low-manipulation styles, volume-building products, and cuts that work in your favour.
• When to seek help: Most postpartum hair loss resolves naturally within 12 months. We explain the signs that suggest something more complex might be happening and when a GP or trichologist should be consulted.
