Mummies are arguably the busiest people in the world, what with the kids taking up all of one’s time, and sometimes making it feel like life itself is spinning out of control.
Mums, this feeling of losing control extends to many facets of our lives, even to our (once) crowning glory and how we feel about it — especially if one is experiencing hair shedding. Eep!
Whether under tremendous stress or just feeling the effects of hormonal changes as a new mum, hair shedding is quite alarming, even when we know that it’s pretty common.
Don’t stress about your tresses mum. Give these tips a go to get on top of your hair game, instead of letting it get the better of you!
1. Go for a low-maintenance do
While celebs like Kim Kardashian, Beyonce, or Charlize Theron may have previously gone a completely different colour or length after becoming a mum, it is important to sport a hairstyle that suits your mummy lifestyle.
Don’t be afraid to cut your hair short (a good cut gives your hair volume and may save you time), or simply keep it long so you can skip a few regular trims. Sometimes, the simple act of changing your hair part from middle to side is enough to disguise slight hair thinning at the temples.
Long hair presents many styling options too, like ponytails or buns.
2. Hair accessories FTW
If you’re in favour of keeping your tresses long, keep hair out of your face and your child’s reach by cinching it in a youthful ponytail or chic bun, which helps hide hair thinning.
Enlist the help of fashionable scarves, headbands, jewelled combs, or big bold barrettes, all cool and stylish choices to help hide a little hair loss!
3. Good hair treatments & products can be lifesavers
If you’re a new mum, hair shedding within six months after you give birth is very common, and will eventually go away in a few months. But if it’s female hair loss you’re grappling with, possible causes could be hormonal imbalance, anaemia, genetics, or severe stress.
The good news is there is hope for hair loss in the form of regular fortnightly or monthly customised herbal hair treatments!
The judicious use of suitable hair products like volumising shampoos or styling mousse, and conditioners formulated for fine hair, can give your hair the illusion of fullness.
4. Watch your diet & supplementation
Vitamin supplements that nourish you, your hair and nails (like those you took when you were pregnant) help combat hair loss. To reap even greater benefits from supplementation, look to Yun Nam Hair Care’s range of Essence Drinks that contain an exquisite blend of precious herbs, providing adequate nutrients required for healthy hair and scalp, and treating hair and scalp problems at the root causes.
Expect thicker hair growth, reduced hair loss and thinning, improved greying or brittle hair, and/or clarified scalp with reduced dandruff.
Remember to stay well hydrated too! Lastly, skip heat and chemical treatments like blow-drying and over-colouring your hair as much as possible, should you experience hair loss.
