Frequently Asked Questions

Is postpartum hair loss normal?
Yes. During pregnancy, elevated estrogen keeps hair in its growth phase. After birth, those hormones drop and all the hair that was retained sheds at once. This typically peaks 3-6 months postpartum and resolves by 12 months.
Can I stop the shedding?
You cannot prevent the natural hormonal shedding, but you can support your scalp and minimize additional breakage with gentle routines, proper nutrition, and scalp care. Our routine focuses on what you can control.
Will my hair go back to normal?
Most women see their hair return to a new baseline by 12-18 months postpartum, though some notice permanent texture changes. Our system adapts your routine as your hair evolves.
How much time does this routine take?
We build routines that respect new-parent time constraints. Expect 10-15 minutes on wash day, with 2-minute refresh options for in-between days.
