Postpartum Hair Loss: Causes, Solutions, and How to Regain Healthy Hair

by Kate Kruse

Becoming a mom is a beautiful, life-changing experience — but many women are caught off guard by one frustrating side effect: postpartum hair loss. If you’ve noticed more hair in your brush, your shower drain, or your pillow, you’re not alone. Studies show that up to 60–70% of women experience hair loss after pregnancy, usually starting 2–4 months postpartum.

In this guide, we’ll explore why hair loss happens after having a baby, what you can do about it, and how innovative tools like the Lulliby™ RootRevive Pro™ Scalp Massage Comb can help restore confidence and healthier-looking hair.

Why Does Hair Loss Happen After Pregnancy?

During pregnancy, high levels of estrogen prolong the hair growth cycle, keeping your hair thicker and fuller. After delivery, hormone levels drop sharply, and hair naturally shifts into the shedding phase — a process called telogen effluvium.

This leads to noticeable hair loss after a baby, often around the hairline, crown, and temples. Other contributing factors can include:

  • Stress and fatigue from caring for a newborn

  • Nutritional deficiencies (iron, protein, vitamin D)

  • Thyroid hormone changes

  • Genetics

While postpartum hair loss is typically temporary, lasting up to 6-12 months, it can be distressing — especially for new moms juggling endless responsibilities.

How to Minimize Hair Loss After Pregnancy

Even though postpartum hair loss is natural, there are steps you can take to support hair growth and strengthen your hair:

  1. Eat a Balanced Diet – Include protein, iron, omega-3s, and vitamins to nourish hair from within.

  2. Be Gentle on Your Hair – Avoid tight hairstyles, harsh brushing, or heat styling that can cause breakage.

  3. Stress Management – Sleep, meditation, and short self-care rituals can reduce stress-induced shedding.

  4. Use Scalp Treatments & Hair Growth Tools – Regular scalp care can improve circulation, stimulate follicles, and enhance hair growth.

How the Lulliby™ RootRevive Pro™ Can Help

One of the most effective ways to combat hair loss after pregnancy is by stimulating the scalp and nourishing hair roots. The Lulliby™ RootRevive Pro™ Scalp Massage Comb is designed specifically for postpartum moms who want healthier, fuller-looking hair:

  • Red Light Therapy (630nm) – Stimulates hair follicles and improves blood circulation to support natural growth.

  • Vibration Massage – Promotes scalp microcirculation, relieves tension, and encourages stronger hair roots.

  • Built-In Oil & Serum Applicator – Evenly distributes hair growth oils or serums while massaging the scalp, maximizing nourishment.

  • 3 Massage Modes – Customize intensity for relaxation, stress relief, or deep stimulation.

With just 5–10 minutes a day, this TikTok-viral device can help reduce hair shedding, strengthen follicles, and support scalp health — a simple, convenient solution for busy new moms.

Tips for Using the RootRevive Pro™ Effectively

  1. Apply your favorite hair oil or growth serum to the 6ml built-in tank.

  2. Turn on the device and select your preferred massage mode.

  3. Gently comb the scalp, focusing on areas of noticeable thinning.

  4. Use daily or several times a week for best results.

Consistency is key. Over time, regular scalp stimulation combined with nourishing serums can support hair regrowth and restore confidence.

Other Ways to Support Postpartum Hair Health

  • Stay Hydrated: Water supports overall hair and skin health.

  • Prenatal or Postnatal Vitamins: Supplements with biotin, zinc, and vitamin D can aid hair growth.

  • Regular Gentle Exercise: Increases blood circulation, including to the scalp.

  • Avoid Excessive Heat Styling: Give your hair a break from straighteners, curling irons, and hot blow-drying.

When to See a Professional

If hair loss continues beyond 12 months postpartum, worsens suddenly, or is accompanied by scalp irritation, consult a dermatologist or trichologist. Conditions like thyroid imbalance or alopecia can mimic postpartum hair loss and require professional treatment.

Final Thoughts

Postpartum hair loss is a normal part of the motherhood journey, but that doesn’t mean you have to accept thinning hair or lackluster strands. Combining gentle self-care, nutrition, and targeted tools like the Lulliby™ RootRevive Pro™ Scalp Massage Comb can help you restore healthy hair, nourish your scalp, and regain confidence.
