New mothers experience hormonal changes and many changes to their bodies. Experiencing hair loss postpartum is one of those changes. This hair shedding peaks at about four months. Support a healthy scalp and reduce the amount of hair loss you're experiencing. 


Beauty Shop Canada offers a variety of products specifically designed for hair loss and thinning hair. Applying targeted scalp treatments with shampoo, conditioner, and scalp massage brushes can be beneficial. Feeling like yourself again after having a baby can take some time. Let Beauty Shop Canada help you feel more like yourself again!


Scalp Treatments 

There are a variety of scalp treatments on the market. The importance of scalp treatments is that the health of your hair starts from the scalp. Promoting a healthy scalp will result in longer, healthier hair. 


Some of our favorite choices for those experiencing hair loss and thinning include Nioxin and Segals Solutions. The Nioxin products contain minoxidil, also found in products like Rogaine. Minoxidil is clinically proven to increase hair growth and density. The great news is minoxidil is safe to use topically while nursing but should be avoided if the infant is preterm or is a newborn. 


Alterna Caviar Clinical Densifying Scalp Treatment is an effective scalp treatment for hair loss and thinning, with Amla Indian Gooseberry and red clover formulated without parabens SLS/SLES. 


Nioxin Night Density Rescue Treatment increases hair density and reduces hair loss. 


Eprouvage Reviving Scalp Serum soothes and protects the scalp. This serum is full of powerful ingredients. Redensyl is safe for topical use during pregnancy and while nursing. 


Shampoo, Conditioner for Thinning and Hair Loss

Specific formulations prevent your hair from breaking or falling out. Segals Solutions shampoos and conditioners are sulfate and paraben-free, using organic botanical extracts. Ingredients that support a healthy scalp you can be sure healthy hair is sure to follow.  


Prevent Damage

Before showering, carefully detangle your hair. A wide-tooth comb or detangling comb works best. Wet hair is more fragile and prone to breakage. Refrain from using a towel to dry your hair. Towels are notorious for snagging wet and delicate hair. Choose a soft cotton t-shirt instead of a towel to dry extra water off your hair. 


Use heat protection products to reduce the damage caused by heated tools like a hair dryer or blow dry brush. Reduce damage to your hair by opting for lower temperatures on your heated tools. 


Hair ties and pins that reduce damage. Invisibobble is an option for hair accessories that reduce the hair breakage you're experiencing. Choose loose hairstyles that do not pull around your hairline.

Maintaining Healthy Hair 

Hair masks can help maintain the health of the hair you already have. Applying a hair mask once a week is ideal. 


Bore bristle brushes naturally pull oils down your hair and reduce hair breakage. 


Massaging the scalp for five minutes daily will increase blood flow to the scalp and promote new growth. You can massage with your hands or a scalp massage brush. Adding a scalp treatment like Segals Unclog Pre Shampoo Scalp Booster Spray would be a great addition to your scalp massage, or Alterna Renewing Scalp Care Peppermint Treatment leave-in scalp treatment that will help moisturize and stimulate your scalp. 


Hair loss is never an easy experience. Our hair can have major significance to our identity and culture. Beauty Shop Canada is here for you. Feel like yourself again with products that can help boost your hair regrowth after hair loss and thinning hair.
