You run your fingers through your hair and suddenly there’s more in your hand than you expected.
After birth, our hormones shift dramatically. During pregnancy, higher estrogen keeps more hair in the growth phase. Once baby arrives and those hormone levels drop, many of those hairs shed at once which is why it can feel so sudden.
The good news is that it’s normal… and temporary. While your body finds its balance again, there are gentle ways to support your scalp and hair. One of my favourite little rituals is a simple rosemary hair spray.
Rosemary is known to help stimulate circulation to the scalp and support healthy hair growth plus it smells beautiful and gives you a moment to pause 🌿. Let me know if you’re adding this ritual to your postpartum recovery
