Welcoming a new bundle of joy into your family is a wonderful thing. But with so much attention paid to the positive parts of motherhood, of which there are many, there’s a tendency for people to gloss over the less-than-perfect aspects that come with the package.
On top of the loss of sleep, seemingly endless diaper changes and attending to your baby’s feeding schedule, new mothers often experience many changes to their bodies that they may not have anticipated. This includes the common problem of postpartum hair fall, which impacts up to 90 per cent of women who have just given birth.
Hair loss can also affect those going through a particularly stressful time in their lives, or may be due to lifestyle habits such as not washing your hair frequently enough for the hot and humid climate we live in. This can cause sweat, dirt, oil, toxins and product residue to accumulate and result in the blockage of your hair follicles, which may lead to hair fall.
Thankfully, PHS Hairscience – an industry leader that specialises in providing hair-care solutions since 2006 – offers a convenient way to help nip your temporary hair loss woes in the bud.
Given their hectic schedules and overflowing plates, new moms barely have enough time for themselves, let alone go all the way to the salon for a hair treatment.
That’s why PHS Hairscience’s Home Care Concept is a game changer – it features a full assortment of hair and scalp care products that allows time-starved women to pamper themselves with a salon-like treatment in the comfort of their home.
Made with cutting-edge stem cell formulations, the products featured in the range replicate PHS Hairscience’s professional treatments. By enabling new mothers to remedy various problems including hair loss, dandruff and an oily scalp without having to leave the house, it’s a great way to indulge in a spot of self-care and manage postpartum hair loss between attending to your baby’s needs.
For those who want to complement their at-home care with an in-person visit, you can head down to one of PHS Hairscience’s outlets at convenient locations including Wheelock Place, Ngee Ann City, Plaza Singapura and Bedok Mall.
While many products targeting hair loss tend to be mixed-gender or skewed towards men, PHS Hairscience prioritises helping women address their specific hair concerns and empowers them to look and feel their best.
For instance, its best-selling FEM Fortify range – which consists of a shampoo, conditioner and tonic – was crafted to address the hair-loss patterns and causes unique to women and helps new moms remedy their postpartum hair concerns.
The products are geared towards treating mild, temporary or seasonal hair fall by improving scalp health, strengthening hair roots and repairing damaged hair follicles.
Scalp exfoliation often gets a bad rap. Some may associate it with abrasive scrubs or harsh chemical treatments that can strip the scalp of moisture and nutrients, or may irritate sensitive scalps. But much like your skincare routine, you need a thorough scalp-care regime – it just has to be done in the right way.
Enter PHS Hairscience’s ADV Elixir. This gentle yet potent exfoliating scalp serum is a favourite for treating postpartum hair loss, and is even suitable for those with sensitive scalps.
Containing active ingredients such as rice stem cells, green tea leaf extract and ginseng root extract, it helps improve scalp health and supports healthy hair growth by stimulating circulation, removing the build-up of toxins and pore-clogging impurities, while enhancing your scalp’s ability to absorb vital nutrients from subsequent products.
As harsh chemicals and additives can do more harm than good – and lead to further hair loss – we’re big fans of hair-loss solutions that rely on natural ingredients. If you’re in the same boat, you’ll be happy to know that PHS Hairscience’s products are free of harmful additives such as parabens, benzophenone, mineral oil and artificial colourants.
Instead, its formulations are powered by active ingredients derived from nature, such as plant stem cells. Their products contain 50 to 70 per cent concentration of premium botanical essences extracted using state-of-the-art technology, and are highly concentrated for maximum efficacy and faster results.
Whether you’re a new mom suffering from postpartum hair loss or are experiencing a temporary spell of hair fall due to lifestyle factors, PHS Hairscience’s extensive range of convenient at-home treatments can help you remedy the issue, and look and feel better.
