Postpartum Hair Loss: 3 Steps I Took For Regrowth That Work
If postpartum hair loss is bringing you down then this is the blog for you! I’m sharing what I did to regrow my terrible postpartum hair loss and the 3 main things that worked for me!
Postpartum hair loss is something no one can truly prepare you for. You know it will probably happen, but the when, why, and how much you will lose is different for everyone. Some new moms lose a lot of their hair, and others don’t lose much. I can tell you though, after having my second baby, I experienced terrible postpartum hair loss. Raging hormones, lack of sleep, and less-than-stellar nutrition all have something to do with it. In this blog, I’m going to share what helped me with my postpartum hair loss and what you can do too.
This is a more vulnerable post than I usually write, but that’s because postpartum hair loss is a really vulnerable subject for many women! It’s not easy watching clumps of hair fall out of your head, and I totally understand that. Keep reading for real products that really work so you can get back to feeling like you again.

Why do new moms suffer from postpartum hair loss?
Before we dive into the products that worked for my postpartum hair loss, let’s talk about why it happens. And why it’s completely normal! For most women, hair loss starts around 3 months postpartum. You’ll notice more falling out in the shower and more in your brush after you have brushed your hair. The reason for the loss is quite simple. It’s all hormonal, and specifically it’s caused by a drop in estrogen levels, the American Academy of Dermatology explains at that link.
They also state that many women find their hair to be back to normal by their child’s first birthday, but some of us don’t want to wait that long. Or if you’re like you and you’ve had 3 babies in 5 years (2 of those babies in under 2 years) you’ll find that your hair growth might take longer because the loss is so bad.
3 Ways to Fix Postpartum Hair Loss
Now that we know why new moms experience rapid hair loss after having a baby and you’ve seen how bad my hair loss was, let’s talk about regrowth! That’s why we’re really here right?! I’m going to share with you 3 items that have made my hair loss, after 3 babies, look SO much better. I am so grateful for all these products and I know you will love them too.
1. Baby Blues Hair Vitamin
Baby Blues are a daily vitamin specifically created for postpartum hair loss. And the really work! They are made in Hawaii by a mom who suffered postpartum hair loss herself and when nothing else worked, she took matters into her own hands. I just love women-owned businesses like that!
I started taking these vitamins back in 2021 after my third baby and I am so glad I found this amazing company. I’m sharing a before and after image below of hair regrowth I saw after just a few weeks and after a few years. It’s 2024 and I still take these vitamins because not only do I continue to see new and thicker hair growth, they help my nails too!
2. Vitaclean Shower Head
Once you use a Vitaclean Shower Head you will not want to go back, I swear! This purified shower head is trending right now and it’s no secret why. It replaces your old shower head (they come in a hand held version, too!) to filter all the impurities from your water. This includes: chlorine, iron, rust, dirt, and other nasty things coming through your shower head! This alone helps with your scalp care, which then leads to healthier hair that grows better!
The trending Vitaclean Shower Head also comes with an anti-microbial filter, which fights bacteria build-up in your shower, and a vitamin C shot, that adds a spa-like feature to your shower. It’s also great for dry, brittle skin and hair. I’ve been using this for almost a year, you can read my full honest review about it if you want to learn more! In the photo below you can see the before and after images of the anti-microbial filter.
Take the best shower of your life (I’m not kidding) with this shower head and get better hair and skin too. You can grab your Vitaclean Starter Kit HERE for 10% off!
3. Bella Hue Hair Products
Ok, now you’ve got the postpartum vitamins and the amazing shower head for better hair (plus skin and nails) so you now need to make sure you have the best hair care for your precious locks! I started using Bella Hue shampoo and conditioner more recently and I have honestly found my hair products for life. I don’t see myself going back to any other brand!
This is another mom-owned business that I love supporting! The owner was a hairdresser for many years and she suddenly became allergic to many of the products she was using on her clients. So, she took matters into her own hands and created a hair care line that is completely organic and made with only the very best ingredients! They are also made right here in the USA.
Since I started using Bella Hue products my hair is softer, shinier, and even feels and looks a little fuller! I love the shampoo bar, restorative conditioner, and dry shampoo. The products last a long time, but every time I reorder, I try a new product. Between these products and my Vitaclean shower head, my dry-itchy scalp is cured and I’m so thankful! Did you know a healthy scalp means healthier hair?
I don’t have a discount code for you on this one, but when you got to the Bella Hue website and sign up as a new customer you’ll get 10 or 15% off your first order! Make sure to try them out, your postpartum hair will thank you!
