• Postpartum Hair Loss

What Is Postpartum Hair Loss?

Postpartum hair loss is a completely normal response to the hormonal shifts that happen after giving birth. Many women experience noticeable shedding, especially around three to six months postpartum. While it can feel confronting or unexpected, it’s a temporary phase – and with the right support, your hair can feel stronger, healthier, and more manageable during this transition.

Why This Matters

Becoming a mother comes with enough changes as it is. Losing hair on top of it can feel unsettling, emotional, and sometimes isolating. Understanding what’s happening – and why – can be incredibly reassuring.

With gentle guidance and personalised care, you don’t have to navigate postpartum changes alone. We help you feel informed, supported, and more confident while your body finds its balance again.

Who It’s For

This service is ideal for women who are:

  • experiencing noticeable shedding after birth
  • seeing clumps of hair in the shower or on the brush
  • feeling that their hair has lost volume or thickness
  • concerned their hair isn’t “bouncing back”
  • unsure whether their shedding is normal
  • wanting reassurance and support during postpartum recovery

Whether you’re a brand-new mum or months into the journey, we’re here to help.

What We Address

Our approach gently supports:

  • increased postpartum shedding
  • reduced fullness or volume
  • weakened strands or breakage
  • scalp discomfort or dryness
  • hormonal shifts that influence hair cycles
  • rebuilding healthier hair habits

We don’t diagnose medical conditions, but we can help you understand how postpartum changes may be affecting your hair — and what can support you through this stage.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

We begin with a compassionate conversation about your postpartum experience, how your hair has changed, and any concerns you’re noticing.

Using gentle, non-invasive tools, we take a closer look at your scalp and hair to understand shedding patterns, density changes, and areas that may need extra support.

From here, we create a personalised plan that fits realistically into your life as a new mum – simple, achievable steps that make you feel informed rather than overwhelmed.

How to Prepare

There’s nothing special you need to do. We simply recommend:

  • coming with clean, dry hair if possible
  • bringing details of any hair products you currently use
  • noting when your shedding began (roughly is fine)

This helps us understand your postpartum phase more clearly.

Your Treatment Plan & Ongoing Support

Your plan may include:

  • gentle strengthening treatments
  • simple at-home routines
  • supportive postpartum product guidance
  • lifestyle adjustments (only if they feel realistic)
  • follow-ups to monitor shedding and new growth

New motherhood is already full — your plan will be made to fit your life, not overwhelm it.

How Long It Takes

Most appointments take 45–60 minutes, depending on your needs and how in-depth you’d like to go.
