If you’ve recently had a baby and noticed your hair falling out in clumps, you’re not alone — and you’re not imagining it. Postpartum hair loss effects many women.
For many new mums, postpartum hair loss hits hard around 3 to 4 months after birth. You might be brushing your hair and seeing more strands than usual. Or spotting them on your pillow. Or wondering how you went from thick, luscious pregnancy hair to feeling like it’s all thinning… fast.
It’s not your fault. It’s your hormones. But the good news is — you can support your body naturally and gently encourage your hair to grow back stronger.
And one of the easiest, most effective ways to do that? Collagen.
Why Postpartum Hair Loss Happens
During pregnancy, your estrogen levels are sky-high, which helps keep your hair in the “growth” phase for longer. That’s why many women notice their hair looking thicker and shinier while pregnant.
But after birth, those hormone levels drop quickly — especially estrogen — and that triggers a “shedding” phase, where hair that would’ve fallen out gradually now comes out all at once. Add to that the stress, lack of sleep and depleted nutrient stores from pregnancy and birth… and it’s the perfect storm for hair loss.
It’s normal. But that doesn’t mean you have to just “wait it out.”
How Collagen Supports Healthy Hair Regrowth
Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body, and it plays a key role in skin, nails, and hair health. After giving birth, your body often becomes depleted of collagen — which impacts the strength and structure of your hair follicles.
Here’s how collagen helps:
- Provides amino acids (like proline and glycine) that build keratin, the protein your hair is made from
- Strengthens skin and scalp health, creating a better foundation for new hair to grow
- Supports hormone balance and tissue repair, helping your body recover faster postpartum
So if you’re noticing more shedding than normal, adding a high-quality collagen into your daily routine can make a huge difference — not just for your hair, but for your energy, skin and joints, too.
Not All Collagen Is Created Equal
There are many collagen products on the market — but not all of them are created equally.
Here’s what to look for:
✅ Multi-Type Collagen
Collagen comes in many “types” — each one supports a different part of your body. For postpartum hair regrowth and overall healing, a broad-spectrum collagen is ideal.
That’s why we recommend 9-Type Advantage Collagen — a premium powdered collagen that combines nine science-backed types of collagen:
Types I, II, III, V, VI, VII, VIII, X, and XII.
These types work synergistically to support:
- Hair, skin, and nails (Types I, III, and V)
- Joint mobility and cartilage (Type II)
- Tissue repair, organ lining, and recovery (Types VI, VII, VIII, X, XII)
✅ Powdered and Easy to Take
New mums don’t need another supplement to choke down. That’s why powdered collagen is perfect — just stir into coffee, oats, smoothies or even water. No fuss. No weird aftertaste. Just done.
✅ Clean and Safe Ingredients
9-Type Advantage Collagen is non-GMO, free from fillers, and contains no artificial nasties. Because when you’re breastfeeding or recovering from birth, you want only the best going into your body.
Other Natural Ways to Support Postpartum Hair Growth
Collagen is a foundational part of the healing puzzle, but there are other ways to gently support your body, too:
- Eat a nutrient-rich diet with iron, zinc, vitamin C, and healthy fats
- Reduce stress (even if it’s just five minutes of deep breathing a day)
- Use essential oils like rosemary or lavender in a scalp massage to stimulate growth
- Stay hydrated, especially if breastfeeding
And most importantly: be kind to yourself. Your body is healing, adjusting and doing its best. Postpartum hair regrowth takes time — but you can absolutely support the process with the right tools.
