During pregnancy, higher levels of hormones like estrogen help keep hair in a prolonged growth phase that would have normally graduated to the natural shedding phase of the cycle otherwise. So women get to enjoy less hair shedding during pregnancy.

After giving birth, hormones including estrogen and progesterone decline while cortisol increases, which breaks that prolonged growth spell and causes all those hairs to enter their overdue shedding phase at once.¹ Most women report noticing this peak hair shedding 2-3 months postpartum.²

So while more shedding after giving birth can be normal short-term, we also know that issues like nutrient deficiencies, cumulative stress, and lack of rest can delay the time it takes our hair to get back into the growth phase. Our goal is to help support your whole body, including your hair follicles, with healthy ingredients to smoothly transition through this stage and get you back to growing stronger, visibly thicker hair as soon as possible.
