Just For You!

Postpartum hair loss is a common phenomenon experienced by up to 90 per cent of women after giving birth. While it is natural to lose some hair – with peak hair loss occurring around the fourth month post childbirth – it can be concerning to see an excessive amount of hair fall on your pillow or in the shower.

When it comes to preventing lasting hair loss and promoting hair regrowth, scalp care is just as important as skin care. A proper scalp care regimen can help to maintain healthy hair and prevent breakage, leading to fuller and more beautiful tresses.

However, there are misconceptions about hair care that can prevent you from taking the right steps to care for your scalp. Ahead, we clear up these misguided beliefs and tips to help you reclaim your crowning glory more effectively.

Hair Loss In New Mums: What’s Normal And Why Scalp Care Is Crucial Too
Myth 1: Washing less reduces hair loss

One common misconception is that washing your hair less often can reduce hair loss. However, this is not the case. Washing your hair daily, especially in a hot and humid climate, is important for removing dirt, oil and other impurities from the scalp. When these impurities are not removed, they can clog hair follicles, causing breakage and hair loss.

It can be difficult to incorporate a scalp care routine into a busy lifestyle, but it is worth taking the time to do so. A daily scalp care regimen, including washing your hair with targeted products from PHS Hairscience, can help to maintain healthy hair.

Dedicated to providing effective and safe hair care solutions, PHS Hairscience is a hair loss solution expert with over 17 years experience. The company aims to help women maintain healthy hair through the use of products that are free from harmful additives and ingredients. The signature FEM Fortify Range, consisting of a shampoo, conditioner, and tonic, is designed specifically for hair loss control and prevention – particularly those experiencing temporary or seasonal hair loss.

These products are easy to use in the comfort of your home, making it easy for new mummies to maintain a proper scalp care routine.

Myth 2: Scalp exfoliation is harsh and damaging

Another common misconception is that scalp exfoliation is harsh and damaging to the scalp. While this can be true for abrasive scrubs or chemical exfoliation, there are gentle methods of scalp exfoliation available, such as the ADV Elixir from PHS Hairscience.

Suitable for all scalp types, this gentle exfoliating scalp serum is made from plant stem cells, pure botanical essences, and active ingredients.

Moreover, it is free from harmful additives such as parabens, mineral oil, artificial colourants, and benzophenone.

Myth 3: Nothing can be done to prevent hair loss, especially post-partum

Finally, some women believe that there is nothing that can be done to prevent hair loss, especially post-partum. However, this is not the case. There are various treatments and solutions available to support healthy hair growth. Scalp treatments, such as the ones offered by PHS Hairscience, can help to promote hair growth and prevent hair loss.

Additionally, lifestyle changes, such as reducing stress and improving diet, can also have a positive impact on hair health.

It is important for women to prioritise scalp care, especially after giving birth, for healthier and fuller hair. To fortify your daily hair and scalp care regimen, consider the FEM Fortify Bundle from PHS Hairscience that comprises the ADV Elixir (50ml), FEM Fortify Shampoo (200ml), FEM Fortify Conditioner (200ml) and FEM Fortify Tonic (100ml).
