Like so many new mums, nobody really warned me about the postpartum hair loss.
Sure, people tell you about sleepless nights and endless nappies but they don’t mention the moment you look down in the shower and realise half your hair seems to be sitting in the drain.
At around four months postpartum, my hair started shedding everywhere. My once thick pregnancy hair disappeared almost overnight, especially around my hairline and temples. I honestly found it more emotional than I expected. When you already feel exhausted and not quite like yourself, losing your hair can really knock your confidence.
After seeing the JS Health Vita Growth Peptide Scalp Serum all over social media, I decided to give it a try.
What initially appealed to me was how easy it seemed to incorporate into my routine. As a new mum, I barely have time for a full skincare routine, let alone complicated hair treatments.
The first thing I noticed was how lightweight the formula felt. I was worried it would leave my scalp greasy or make my already tired mum bun look worse, but it absorbed surprisingly quickly and didn’t leave residue behind. That alone made me more consistent with using it.
I’ve been trialling the serum for three weeks so far, applying a few drops along my hairline and scalp at night before bed. The little scalp massage has honestly become a small act of self care in the middle of the newborn chaos.
While it’s still early days, I have started noticing less shedding when I wash or brush my hair, which already feels encouraging. I haven’t seen dramatic regrowth yet and to be fair, I wouldn’t expect to after only a few weeks but my hair does feel healthier overall and my scalp feels nourished rather than dry or irritated. My hair is also starting to feel like it is getting thicker and fuller and much more fabulous!
The serum contains ingredients including Capilia Longa™, Baicapil™ and Capixyl™, which are designed to support fuller, thicker looking hair and reduce hair fall over time. The brand also specifically mentions postpartum hair loss as one of the reasons people use it.
Let’s break the ingredients of this magical serum down:
- Capilia Longa™ – Reduces hair loss by up to 89%*
- Baicapil™ – Increases hair density by up to 59%*
- Capixyl™ – Stimulates hair growth by 35%*
- Hairiline™ – Rebalances scalp microbiome*
- Clean + Vegan + Oil Free formula
- Designed to be suitable for all hair types
One thing I appreciate is that it doesn’t feel heavy or oily, so I can use it daily without needing to constantly wash my hair, a huge plus when you’re running on minimal sleep and maximum baby cuddles.
Overall, while I know hair recovery takes time and consistency, my first three weeks using the serum have been positive. It’s become one small part of my routine that helps me feel like I’m taking care of myself again and during postpartum life, that can make a bigger difference than you’d think.
