One thing that I vividly remember from pregnancy, and the weeks and months following my baby’s birth was the state of my hair. Through pregnancy there were times when my hair felt amazing, so full of volume and so thick – but it would soon turn into a greasy mess, untameable and with a life of it’s own. After having the baby my hair seemed to come out in clumps, with the plug hole blocked after every shower and my hair noticeably thinner than before.
I had friends who spoke about hair loss and thinning hair through pregnancy too, patches of almost baldness after their babies arrived and the one thing we all had in common was how unexpected it was – how no-one had told us anything to prepare us for the sorry state our hair had become.
I remember writing about postpartum hair loss and wondering whether it would ever stop – would my hair eventually stay in my head or would it keep falling our in an endless stream? Back then I didn’t know what to do, took to washing my hair less frequently in the hope it would ease the hair loss and just hoped that my hair would go back to normal – but it never happened. In the end I cut my hair as short as I dared which made the hair loss less noticeable.
I’ve just heard about Hairburst’s new For New Mums supplement and I really wish it had been around when I had Little Man and LP. For New Mums contains safe levels of biotin which is effective for normal hair growth pre, during and post pregnancy and Hairburst For New Mums contains a range of B vitamins which can combat tiredness and fatigue when your new baby is keeping you up at night. I could have definitely used For New Mums during and after both of my pregnancies.
Hairburst believe the key to gorgeous hair starts from within and For New Mums is scientifically formulated and includes nutrients which can help maintain healthy hair and a mix of proven ingredients for hair growth.
At the time when your whole body has been put under strain, growing and carrying a baby for months, and then, when the baby is here, and you are exhausted, run down and in need of a pick me up – Hairburst have the answer. For New Mums won’t fix everything but it can make you feel a bit better about yourself at a time when you really need it.
I know that if For New Mums had been around after I had LP and Little Man I would definitely have tried it. Anything that could make my hair grow and stop me feeling like baldness was around the corner has got to be a good thing and I’m sure that it would help to give new mums a confidence boost when they need it most.
I think I need some of this – I’ve got dreadful tufty bits of hair growing back after having Little M. P.S. How cute does LP look in that photograph?! x
We have been using Hairburst for new mums and whilst my hair isn’t any longer the shedding of hair has def slowed down! No one warns you about these things when you have a baby!
These sound brilliant. My hair still hasn’t recovered from having Youngest and that was 4 years ago! Like you say it really affects your confidence. I will be giving these a go! 🙂
Post-partum hair loss was my least favourite pregnancy symptom. After three pregnancies in quick succession my hair is still recovering.
Oh wow this would have been fab. With each baby I lost more hair. I had so many tuft years boys with Ava! X
I would have loved these when Olly was born. I really struggled with hair loss in the first few months. Good to know there’s something out there to help new mums
Sounds great – although I have to admit I am so cautious about what I use during pregnancy and breastfeeding x
I could have done with these. My youngest 2 ando my hair is really only getting back to normal!
I don’t if I was just lucky, or if it wasn’t noticeable because my hair is short but I didn’t have much hair loss after my boys were born. I know lots of my friends have suffered though and I’m sure they would love to have something that can help.
Oh gosh yes, this is definitely something that’s helpful for new mums. Women take such a lot of their confidence from their hair, losing it can be really damaging psychologically, especially at a time when new mums are prone to feeling low anyway. It will be great if this can prevent it.

I think so many people suffer with this, thankfully my hair got stupidly thick during pregnancy so it then just went back to normal after the birth. My hair has got more curly with each pregnancy though, it realy does change things. Mich x
Sounds exactly like what I need. 9 months post and my hair is gone to shit..
I may have to give this a try this time. I’m dreading the start of hair loss next w my second baby is here! X
I wish I’d known about this – I suffered terribly with post-partum hair loss. Now I have an inch around my face that’s around 2 inches long. Thankfully, I have curly hair so it blends in okay now – a year down the line!
I wish I had had some of these, mine was a fluffy nightmare for months haha!
I lost what seemed like loads of hair after giving birth, but later discovered that as I hadn’t lost hardly any during my pregnancy, it looked like I was about to lose the whole lot once my baby had been born
My hair was terrible when I was pregnant second time around and it’s still bad now nearly 3 years later. Another thing they don’t tell us beforehand! I would have definitely tried these x
I need this in my life! I’m still losing hair at the rate of knots. Off to investigate further!
When I gave birth people wont lose me because they just need to foolow trail of my hair that I loss and they will find me.
This sounds amazing!
