Postpartum Hair Care

Postpartum can be difficult as it is. Adjusting to life with a newborn, with little sleep and juggling everything all at once. The last thing you want to deal with is your hair falling out every time you wash and brush your hair.

We understand just how frustrating and stressful these situations can be and how stressful postpartum hair loss can be. It isn’t just about vanity; it’s about feeling good in yourself again, and your hair is a part of this. We offer many products and supplements that help with postpartum hair loss, which we will discuss in more detail throughout this blog. 

Why Am I Losing Hair After Pregnancy?

Don’t worry, you are not the only one going through this. Postpartum hair loss is a common experience caused by hormonal fluctuations. According to research, it may last three to six months, but sometimes even longer. But why does this happen exactly?

Durin pregnancy, your hair was probably thicker due to the hormone oestrogen, making your hair grow faster and less likely to fall out. However, after birth, you may find that the extra hair you gained during your pregnancy is starting to fall out. This is why you may experience postpartum hair loss in the first few months after you give birth, because the oestrogen levels have dropped; this condition is also known as telogen effluvium.

What Helps Postpartum Hair Loss?

Finding advice and tips on hair growth online can be overwhelming. However, real, effective solutions lie in supporting your body with what it’s lacking, particularly nutrients, rest, and care. That’s where CENTRED Pregnancy and Postpartum Supplements come in. 

CENTRED Supplements

CENTRED Pregnancy and Postpartum Supplements are designed specifically for women going through pregnancy and postpartum. It is more than just a vitamin; it is a whole-body supplement that helps you feel good from the inside out. These supplements can help individuals restore balance to hair, body, and mind. What makes CENTRED different from other formulas?

• Choline: For the baby’s brain and spinal cord development. It also supports liver function and neurotransmitter health in mothers.
• Vitamin A: The dosage is safe and gentle. It helps immune functions, healthy vision, and cellular development, including the skin and scalp.
• Ginger root (400mg): A natural remedy for morning sickness. It is also anti-inflammatory and encourages digestion and circulation, helping nutrients get where they need to go.
• Methyl Folate (600mcg): Crucial for maternal tissue growth and reducing the risk of neural tube defects. This is safer than synthetic folic acid and combats postpartum shedding and restores hair health.
• Amla Berry: Packed with vitamin C and antioxidants to boost immunity, skin health and collagen production. This ingredient really helps you glow.
• Probiotics (Lactobacillus reuteri): Helps promote a healthy gut and skin microbiome, improving nutrient absorption and reducing inflammation

Taking these supplements daily can help fill the nutritional gaps from postpartum life, especially if meals are rushed or even skipped due to a new, busy lifestyle. Not to mention, our supplements are also free from:

• Synthetic Fillers: They are often used to bulk up products without adding any nutritional value, so we avoid this ingredient.
• Anti-caking agents: No preservatives, artificial colours or dyes.
• Gluten: To make sure that it is suitable for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
• Dairy: So that it is safe for those with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance.
• Soy: This is a common allergen and is often genetically modified, which is why we avoided it.
• Added Sugars: We do not add sugars or artificial sweeteners, which can contribute to various health issues when consumed daily.

Can Supplements Really Help Hair Regrow?

Yes, they work when used properly and alongside other factors. You don’t need to spend hours on your hair every day; however, making a few changes to your daily routine can make the biggest difference. Here are some tips that we recommend:

1. Switch Shampoo & Conditioner: Look out for sulphate-free, hydrating and restorative shampoos and conditioners that don’t strip your scalp. Ingredients like aloe vera, oat extract, and vitamin B5 can help you soothe and strengthen. You don’t necessarily need an in-depth, complicated 10-step hair routine; make sure you keep it simple and consistent; this is more effective.
2. Consider a Scalp Serum: People often forget that scalp health is part of hair health. Products with caffeine, rosemary oil, or peptides can stimulate the roots and promote hair growth. Use a scalp serum 2-3 times a week and massage it in for around one minute, as it boosts circulation.
3. Avoid Tension: Don’t use tight hairstyles and heating tools often. Instead, opt for suitable hairstyles, like loose braids or messy buns, that look put together yet safe and effortless.
4. Have Realistic Expectations: Remember that it takes time. New supplements and hair products do not work like magic; they work overtime. Don’t expect miracles overnight. Make sure you have a consistent hair care routine and take these supplements at the same time, and you should see results within a few months.
