Postpartum Alopecia

Postpartum Alopecia: Gentle Recovery After Childbirth

Introduction
Postpartum alopecia is a common condition triggered by the hormonal shifts that occur after childbirth. The sudden drop in estrogen and persistent high cortisol levels—along with potential thyroid imbalances—cause many follicles to prematurely enter the resting (telogen) phase. As a result, noticeable shedding typically begins 3 to 4 months after delivery. Sleep deprivation, nutritional stress, and emotional strain can intensify the condition. Early care with nourishing, scalp-activating products can reduce shedding and support healthy regrowth.

Treatment Protocol for Postpartum Hair Loss

Step 1: Detox and stimulate
1.3 Dixidox de Luxe Peeling (200ML or 500ML)
Apply to dry or damp scalp once weekly. Massage thoroughly and leave on for 15 minutes before rinsing. This exfoliating treatment clears buildup and boosts microcirculation to improve follicle activity.

Step 2: Cleanse and revitalize
7.1 Opium Shampoo
Use daily or as needed. Massage gently into the scalp until it lathers, leave on briefly, and rinse well. This shampoo energizes the roots and promotes a healthy scalp environment for regrowth.

Step 3: Intensive root care
3.4.1 Crexepil de Luxe Forte Lotion
Apply 1/3 of the ampoule to a clean, dry or damp scalp, preferably before bed. Massage until fully absorbed without rinsing. Use daily for at least three months to reactivate dormant follicles and reduce fall-out.

Step 4: Maintain and reinforce
4.4.1 Royal Jelly + Green O2 de Luxe Lotion
Spray 8 to 10 times on the scalp 2–3 times per week after washing. Massage gently until absorbed. This formula helps maintain results and balances scalp vitality during the recovery phase.

Step 5: Restore softness and shine
7.3 Opium Mask
Apply 1 to 3 times per week after washing. Focus on mid-lengths and ends, leave on for 5 minutes, then rinse. This rich mask rebuilds fiber strength and improves manageability without weighing down the hair.

Conclusion
Postpartum hair loss is temporary but can feel distressing. A consistent care protocol that combines scalp stimulation, hormonal balance support, and fiber repair helps speed recovery and encourages fuller, healthier hair regrowth in the months following childbirth.
