Embracing Your Hair: Navigating Hair Changes During and After Pregnancy
Pregnancy is a transformative journey that brings about many changes, including its impact on your hair growth. At Hair We Gro, we understand the frustration and emotional toll that postpartum hair loss can bring, and we're here to support you every step of the way with our sustainable, natural solutions.
As Earth Day approaches, we're reminded of our commitment to creating effective haircare products that nourish both you and the planet. Our nourishing hair oil blend is a testament to this dedication, meticulously crafted from nature's finest offerings.
The Science Behind Postpartum Hair Changes During pregnancy, elevated estrogen levels prolong the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle, leading to thicker, more vibrant locks. However, after childbirth, the rapid drop in estrogen causes the telogen (resting) phase to become more prominent, resulting in increased hair shedding, also known as postpartum hair loss or telogen effluvium. Understanding the hair growth cycle will help better your knowledge on how pregnancy impacts hair.

Our postpartum hair care tips
While postpartum hair loss can be disheartening, it's important to remember that it's a temporary phase. Your hair will eventually find its balance, but there are steps you can take to support its journey back to its former glory:
1. Maintain a balanced diet: Ensure an adequate intake of nutrients like protein, iron, zinc, vitamins C and B complex, which are essential for healthy hair growth.
2. Take supplements: Consider taking supplements like biotin, folic acid, and vitamin D, which can support hair growth and strength.
3. Manage stress: Prioritise self-care and find ways to reduce stress, as elevated cortisol levels can further disrupt the hair growth cycle. So practicing stress-reducing techniques like yoga, walking, meditation, or regular exercise can be beneficial.
4. Gentle hair care: Avoid excessive styling, heat, and chemical treatments, as they can damage hair follicles, cause additional breakage and shedding. Use gentle, sulphate-free shampoos and conditioners.
5. Scalp massage: Gently massaging the scalp can improve blood circulation, which may stimulate hair follicles and encourage growth.
6. Consider our hair oil: Topical application of our therapeutic oil blend can help prolong the anagen phase and promote hair regrowth.
7. Evaluate hormonal imbalances: If hair loss persists, consult a healthcare professional to check for any underlying hormonal imbalances or deficiencies that may be contributing to the problem.
8. Be patient: It can take several months for the hair growth cycle to normalise after pregnancy, so patience and consistent care are essential.
Remember, postpartum hair loss is a temporary condition, and with the right measures, the anagen phase can be encouraged, promoting healthy hair growth.
