Postpartum Hair Loss: The Worst Things to Put in Your Hair

Postpartum Hair Loss: The Worst Things You Can Put in Your Hair

Intro to Postpartum Hair Loss

Postpartum hair loss can be very stressful and worrisome for many women. It’s normal to have increased shedding after giving birth, and shortly after to have increased thickness. The timing is largely determined by your hormone levels. During this time period, doing all the right things for your follicles is most important, to be sure that the follicles are properly nourished to avoid death of those follicles. You need to be sure that you are not using some of the worst ingredients on your hair.

Postpartum Hair Loss: The Worst Things to Put in Your Hair

Silicone is an important ingredient that needs to be avoided. You commonly find silicone in sealants, adhesives, lubricants, medicine, cooking utensils, and thermal and electrical insulation. Sadly, it is also found in personal care products because it makes a great spreading agent and glossing agent, to hide how really dull and damaged your hair is, for really cheap.

Silicone is made from sand, therefore, it is marketed as natural and organic. Over the years, chemists have figured out how to make the molecules smaller and smaller, until they are so small that they lodge into your hair follicles, smothering them. The last thing you want at this point is to smother your hair follicles that have survived the battle with chemo.

To name a few versions of silicone: Dimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Amodimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, and the list goes on. For a more in-depth look, check out our Silicone Derivatives Avoid List. Silicone and its derivatives, like a liquid glass or plasticized oil covering seal the scalp and stop the ability to absorb nourishment transdermally. Silicone derivatives are cheap fillers that made it under the radar as being safe.

Another ingredient to avoid is plastic. Plastics, like Polyvinylpolypyrrolidone a.k.a PVP, Polyvinyl, polydimethylsiloxane, Octylacrylaminde/Acrylates/Butylaminoethyl Methacrylate Copolymer, PEG, Cyclohexamine, Cyclohexylamine, Polyquaternium-69 Acrylates/Steareth-20 Methacrylicacid, Methacrylate, Methyl Methacrylate, Crosspolymer, Aminomethyl Propanol, Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate, and even Talc.

Many use gel, mousse, glaze and sprays in their hair to add “body” and manageability to their hair. Unfortunately, all those items usually contain plastic to give the feeling of “body” and stiffness to your hair. The more you use these products the more thinning that can occur. These ingredients smother your hair follicles, which is what the big manufacturers want.

Why?

Because you will have even thinner hair and need a better, stiffer product to add “body” and manageability to your hair, and they will be able to sell more gels AND a new category of hair growth imposter products.

Conclusion

After bringing in a beautiful new life into the world, dealing with hair loss seems like a small price to pay, even though it can be extremely frustrating at times.

It’s important to have the proper education as to what you need to do to ensure you have long-term hair growth, or you could end up with weak, thinning hair. Trusting conventional and high-end brands is practically a guarantee to have thinner hair.
