Postpartum hair shedding can be alarming. Hair may begin falling in noticeably larger amounts several months after delivery, often when a new mother is already managing sleep deprivation, nutritional demands and the physical recovery from pregnancy.

Telogen effluvium is a form of diffuse hair shedding that may occur after the normal hair-growth cycle is disrupted by a physiological or emotional stressor. Common triggers include illness, high fever, childbirth, surgery, rapid weight loss, restrictive dieting, significant emotional stress, medication changes and nutritional deficiencies. Shedding commonly becomes noticeable two to three months after the triggering event.

Most hair supplements in Singapore contain the same long ingredient list and claim to work for everyone. In clinical practice, that approach doesn't hold up.

Treating them with the same formula is like prescribing the same medication for three different conditions because the symptoms look similar.
