At first, it was just a few extra strands. Nothing too bad.

Then, at four months postpartum, my hair started falling out in clumps.

It was everywhere: on my pillow, in the drain, covering my baby’s onesie.

I looked at myself in the mirror and thought, Am I actually going bald?

I tried everything. Special shampoos. Expensive serums. Scalp massages. Nothing worked. The shedding wouldn’t stop. Every shower felt like a battle. I started dreading brushing my hair.

Then I realized: This is normal. But that doesn’t mean I have to suffer through it. I learned that hair needs support from the inside, not just surface treatments.

I focused on nutrition, circulation, and stress balance.

At 9 months, baby hairs appeared. By a year, my hair felt stronger. Now, at 16 months, I finally see my (new) self again.

If you're in this stage, you’re not alone.

Hair often rebounds with time, and how you support that journey matters.
