I started working with NULASTIN in 2020, returning to the workforce after eight years as a stay-at-home mom. In that time, I was blessed with three babies—along with all the beautiful chaos and change that comes with motherhood. What I didn’t know or expect was how much those years would transform my body, my skin and especially my hair.

It didn't happen at once it was rather sneaky, to be honest. I remember walking by a mirror one day and catching a glimpse of my reflection. That’s when I noticed it—my hair looked thin, flat and fragile. As I flipped through old photos with my kids, the change became even more obvious. The volume and strength had slowly disappeared without me even realizing. I hadn’t made any major lifestyle changes, and I was still in my twenties. But my hair told a different story.

That’s when I started asking questions and doing a little digging. One of the first things I typed into Google was: Is hair loss normal after pregnancy? 

I’d never put a name to it, but there it was—postpartum hair loss. After three pregnancies in a relatively short period of time, it all started to make sense. The stress on my body had taken a toll on my hair, too.

Working at NULASTIN, I’d seen firsthand how transformative our Vibrant Scalp Treatment was for customers. But I hadn’t considered that it could work for me. At 29, I wondered if I was “too young” to start using a hair renewal treatment. Eventually, I decided to give it a try. If our customers were seeing real results, why not give it a shot?

By 2024, the difference was undeniable. My hair felt fuller and looked thicker. I wasn’t cleaning hair out of my shower drain every day—something I now realize was a telltale sign of hair loss after pregnancy. My husband even thanked me for no longer “wiping my hair on the shower walls.” The truth was, the Vibrant Scalp Treatment had helped me shed less.

Using the treatment twice a day truly made me feel like me again. My hair was back and people took notice. 

Now, I use the serum just a few times a week to maintain the results. Even with all the bleach, heat styling,and busy-mom-life stress I put my hair through, it still feels vibrant and resilient.

If you’re dealing with hair loss after pregnancy—whether it’s subtle shedding or noticeable thinning—know this: you’re not alone. And there is a way forward.

Thicker, fuller looking hair with volume, bounce and shine is absolutely within reach after having your babies. It just takes a little commitment. And let’s be honest, we moms are nothing if not dedicated. 

Here’s to great hair days!
