Hairloss

Hi everyone!
I’m 4 months postpartum and losing a lot of hair lately😭
Any Korean shampoos or scalp serums that you found helpful?I’ve been using the VT PDRN scalp serum,not sure if it’s doing anything yet, but the cooling sensation feels great in this summer heat 😂

Been there! ❤️ First, take a deep breath and be kind to yourself: at 4 months postpartum, this is classic, completely normal telogen effluvium. During pregnancy, high hormones stopped your hair from shedding, and now that hormones have leveled out, all that hair is shedding at once. It is a biological cycle, not permanent hair loss, and it WILL grow back! ☺️ ​Topical products (including the VT PDRN serum) won't stop the hormonal shed that was set in motion months ago, but the cooling feel is great for keeping your scalp calm and healthy for the new growth coming in. ​For now, focus on being gentle with your strands: use high-slip conditioners so loose hairs slide out easily without knotting, switch to loose scrunchies to avoid traction on your hairline, and keep up with your vitamins/iron. Hang in there—it usually peaks around month 4–5 and starts settling down shortly after! 💫💕

Dr. For hair shampoo is supposed to help hair loss that’s due to hormone issues but I haven’t tried it. For a while, I was using 107 shampoo (the beige color one) and it really helped with hair loss. I also use LED/laser helmet for scalps as well, but honestly, the best thing you can use for hair growth is monoxidil foam. The thing is you have to be consistent with it.

Thank you! That’s really helpful🫶🫶🫶I’ve been curious about minoxidil, but I’m breastfeeding at the moment so I’m trying to keep things simple for now.The 107 shampoo sounds promising though! Have you noticed a big difference with the LED helmet as well?
