Hair Care Routine for Postpartum Hair

How to Navigate Postpartum Hair & Create a New Hair Care Routine

When you’re pregnant you face different kinds of challenges when it comes to your hair. To begin with, while pregnant your hair stops shedding like normal, so you will notice a natural increase in volume and thickness — which for many can prove challenging when styling.

Then, once you have a baby, your hormones immediately shift and drop. This can cause a sudden onset of hair loss as well as scalp issues and even a change in hair texture.

For many women navigating postpartum hair care, hair loss is one of the most difficult tasks to manage.

You go from having bouncy, full hair one day to experiencing an extreme degree of hair loss. Many women see more hair loss around the hairline, which leads to a “baby bang” phenomenon as it starts to grow back.

How to Improve Your Postpartum Hair Care Routine

Be Gentle With Your Hair

From avoiding chemical services to turning down the heat when styling or using a detangler — anything you can do to be gentle on your hair postpartum is key. Because hair is in a highly sensitive state already, swap your normal blow dry for air-drying with KILLER.TWIRLS and always prep hair with UN.TANGLED before gently combing with a wide-toothed TEXTURE.COMB. When you do heat style, always prep with BLOW.DRY WASH + BLOW.DRY RINSE + HEATED.DEFENSE to protect against excess hair damage.

Rejuvenate When You Simply Don’t Have the Time

For the days you don’t have the time to take care of your hair but you still want a treat — work YOUNG.AGAIN DRY CONDITIONER into your routine. Coupled with refreshing FRESH.HAIR or simply on its own, YOUNG.AGAIN DRY CONDITIONER rejuvenates hair with Immortelle and Baobab oils to hydrate and enhance moisture while improving dry, damaged, or brittle hair.
