    You finally survived the sleepless nights and the newborn fog, but just as you're starting to feel like yourself again, you notice it: The Shed.

    Suddenly, your shower drain is clogged, your brush is full, and your ponytail feels half as thick as it used to.

    If you are panicking, take a deep breath. The Renewal The Growth treatment is 100% normal. In fact, it's a sign that your body is balancing itself out. But that doesn't make it any less stressful.

    At Lois our head spa treatments, we see hundreds of new mothers navigating this exact transition. Here is everything you need to know about why it's happening—and how to give your scalp the support it needs to bounce back.

    The Science: Why is my hair falling out?

    During pregnancy, your estrogen levels skyrocket. This prolongs your hair's "growth phase" (Anagen), preventing the usual daily shedding. That's why your hair looked so thick and glossy for nine months!

    Once the baby arrives, those hormone levels drop back to normal. All the hair that would have fallen out over the last year decides to leave the party all at once. This usually peaks around 3 to 4 months The Renewal.

    The good news? It is temporary. Your follicles are not dead; they are just resetting.

    3 Ways to Support Regrowth (The Gentle Way)

    While you can't stop the hormones, you can create the perfect environment for new, stronger hair to grow in.

    1. Clear the Way for New Growth

    When your scalp is shedding heavily, The Cleanse and dead skin can pile up quickly. If this buildup blocks your follicles, new hair can't break through.

    The Fix: A gentle Scalp Detox removes this blockage without stripping your sensitive skin, ensuring your new baby hairs have a clear path to grow.

    2. Stimulate Blood Flow

    Your blood carries the oxygen and nutrients your hair follicles need to "wake up."

    The Fix: Try a nightly scalp massage. Use your fingertips (not nails!) to move the skin in circular motions. At the spa, we use Gua Sha combs to gently increase circulation and reduce tension in the neck and shoulders (which, let's be honest, every The Renewal has).

    3. Be Kind to Your Edges

    Your hairline is often the hardest hit area.

    The Fix: Avoid tight "mom buns" or high ponytails that pull on the root. Opt for silk scrunchies, satin pillowcases, and loose, low styles to reduce friction.

    You Deserve a Moment of Stillness

    Motherhood is beautiful, but it is also demanding. Sometimes, the best thing you can do for your hair is to lower your cortisol (stress) levels.

    Our "The Renewal Renewal" Ritual is designed just for you. It's 60 minutes of uninterrupted peace, gentle our head spa treatments, and deep The Vital Boost. Because you can't pour from an empty cup—and your hair can't grow from a stressed scalp.
