Postpartum hair loss is a common condition that many new mothers experience, often noticing a significant thinning of what was once thicker, fuller hair during pregnancy. This shedding, also known as “telogen effluvium,” typically occurs due to hormonal changes after giving birth and can last between 3 to 6 months. Approximately 50% of women in Singapore go through this phase, finding loose hairs on their pillows, clothing, and clogging their shower drains. At DrScalp, we understand the importance of hair to a woman’s confidence. New mums, there’s no need to worry—we have just the solution to help you manage this temporary hair loss effectively.
Understanding the hair growth cycle helps explain postpartum hair loss. Here’s how hair growth works:
At DrScalp, we recognise the emotional and physical toll postpartum hair loss can take. With a baby to take care of, and a slew of physical and hormonal changes occurring to your body, we want to take care of your hair at least – to provide you with a bit of pampering during these tough times.
DrScalp provides a nurturing environment for new mothers with private lounges for treatments, so you can sit back, relax, and forget about your troubles for a while. Our specialised postpartum hair loss treatments are crafted to rebalance your scalp’s health and stimulate hair regrowth, helping you regain your hair’s volume and strength. Mums are superheroes, and you deserve only the very best.
For new mothers facing postpartum hair loss, our Growth Series Postpartum Hair Loss Shampoo and Conditioner offers a supportive solution. This series stimulates hair growth and reduces inflammation using gentle, natural ingredients like Red Clover Flower Extract and Hydrolysed Lupine Protein. These ingredients promote the active growth phase of hair and minimise follicle shrinkage.
Understanding that hormonal changes post-delivery can lead to an oily scalp, our Postpartum Oil Control Shampoo and Conditioner provides care with soothing botanical extracts and essential oils. It detoxifies and rebalances your scalp’s natural oils, reducing excessive sebum while nourishing the scalp. This fosters an environment for healthier and thicker hair growth.

The number of sessions needed can vary significantly based on how severe your hair loss is, and some clinics offer package deals which might provide better value.

FAQs

Postpartum hair loss typically resolves on its own within 6 to 12 months after childbirth. Hair loss treatments might be needed if the shedding is excessive or continues beyond this period, to promote healthy regrowth and restore hair density.
No, postpartum hair loss cannot be entirely prevented as it is a natural process caused by hormonal changes after childbirth. However, maintaining a healthy diet and gentle hair care can help minimise the effects.
When it comes to surgical procedures like hair transplants, the risks may be even more pronounced. After the surgery, your skin may become infected, and in the worst-case scenario, you could end up suffering permanent nerve damage (the possibility of such is low, but it exists nevertheless). Do read up on all potential risks involved before opting for any hair loss treatment.
