It is common for new mums to notice some hair loss a few months after having a baby, due to changes in hormone levels as the body supports the growing baby. In order to help deal with postpartum hair loss, we recommend eating a healthy, balanced diet with lots of fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, to avoid any chemically-based hair treatments and to use a natural herbal hair oil (such as Zen Maitri’s Hair Oil) with herbs that stimulate microvascular circulation in the scalp and hair follicles, bringing oxygen and nutrition to the tissues and supporting hair growth. It is enriched with a variety of botanicals including amla, coconut oil, and rosemary essential oil, which help to boost growth and volume and strengthen the hair. You can gently massage it onto your scalp using your fingertips in a circular motion, and then cover with a towel or shower cap and leave on for a few hours or overnight, before shampooing your hair. You can apply the oil before each time you wash your hair, or before every other wash.
