Most new moms have heard of a “mommy makeover”, tummy tucks, breast lifts, and body contouring after pregnancy. But what about your hair? Postpartum hair loss is one of the most common and emotionally challenging changes new moms experience after giving birth.
At Integrated Aesthetics, we’re excited to introduce GetHairMD solutions, bringing a different kind of mommy makeover to help women restore fuller, healthier hair while supporting natural regrowth.
What Is Postpartum Hair Loss?
Postpartum hair loss, or telogen effluvium, is temporary shedding that occurs 2 to 6 months after delivery. During pregnancy, high estrogen levels keep more hair in the growth phase. After birth, the sudden drop in hormones triggers many hairs to enter the shedding phase.
While hair typically naturally regrows within a year, many women seek supportive solutions to shorten the shedding period and improve hair density, similar to what they would with a traditional mommy makeover for their body.
Why It Happens
Postpartum hair loss occurs due to natural changes in the hair growth cycle after pregnancy. Several factors can contribute, including:
- Hormonal shifts: Estrogen levels drop after delivery, triggering more hair follicles to enter the resting phase.
- Nutrient depletion: Iron, vitamin D, and B vitamins may be lower after pregnancy.
- Stress and lifestyle changes: Sleep deprivation and postpartum stress can disrupt normal hair cycling.
- Mechanical damage: Tight hairstyles, frequent heat styling, or chemical treatments can increase breakage.
These changes are considered a normal physiological response after pregnancy and are well documented in medical literature, including guidance from the Cleveland Clinic.¹

Traditional Supportive Measures
Typically, for postpartum hair loss, there are traditional recommendations for hair restoration, which include:
- Gentle hair care and minimized heat/chemical styling
- Balanced diet and continue taking prenatal vitamins
- Scalp massage to stimulate circulation
- Patience – hair naturally regrows over time
