Just received my bars last week and it was my first time using shampoo bars so I didn't really know what to expect. I have to say the shampoo was really gentle on my scalp and the conditioner bar did a really good job of detangling my hair.It came with a foaming net which made the bars super easy to use and is really handy for traveling. I have wavy, colour treated hair which usually tends to be on the dry side, but not anymore! For now my hair feels smooth and moisturised so I think I'll stick with the bars and continue to observe the results. :)

I've got 4C Afro hair and most shampoos are way too harsh. But these bars? So gentle and nourishing on my coils. The conditioner bar melted right through my kinks for easy detangling. And my curls were bouncy and defined after, not dried out. I'm telling you, my hair was happy! The shampoo cleaned without stripping and the conditioner had that good slip. These bars are a win for 4C naturals needing gentle care. My coils love them so these bars are sticking around!

I was impressed with the speed of delivery, I received the shampoo and conditioner. I am very happy with this ecological choice, the ingredients are of the highest quality. I had a lot of dandruff and often the products in the pharmacy made my hair dry, since I have been using this shampoo my hair is clean, thick and shiny. The conditioner makes the hair very easy to comb, nourishes it but leaves it clean and light. I'm very satisfied, my hair changed in 13 days, and I used this product just tree times, that's impressive.

Yao shampoo bar is amazing. I have many issues with my hair (thin, dyed) and very sensitive scalp. This shampoo makes hair look shiny and healthy and it's really kind with your skin (I've also tested as a face cleanser!). My daughter, who as long, thick, oily hair, is really satisfied too and she replaced all of her products with the bar. It'm my third purchase and customer service is just lovely as their product. People in Yao staff are very kind and shipping is super fast.

I've been using Yao Secret bars for a couple of weeks now and I'm pretty impressed with my results so far! I have medium-length combination hair that tends to get oily at the roots and dry at the ends since I colour it often. Since switching to the bars I feel like my scalp is more balanced, it feels moisturized, but neither too dry nor too oily. I wish I hadn't put off using bars for so long, they're actually much simpler to use than I thought they would be, plus it's helping me fulfil my resolution to become more sustainable.

I'm delighted to share my experience with the solid bar shampoo! What truly impressed me was how amazing it worked on my hair. Not only did it leave my hair soft and shiny, but it also felt incredibly nourished and healthy. The convenience of using a solid bar was a game-changer for me, and I appreciate the eco-friendly approach it offers. Overall, I'm truly thrilled with the results and can confidently say that this product has become an essential part of my hair care routine.

The delivery was super quick within 3-4 days I already got the package.I'm using the bars for almost a month now and they are working really well for my hair I really love them my hair feels so nice and soft, I was searching for a liquid shampoo alternative a and I am really happy that I found these. At first you kinda need to get used to the bar because its obviously very different than liquid shampoo but once you have the hang of it its pretty simple. I would really recommend buying them and I will definitely stick to these from now on.

Was gifted a set of the shampoo and conditioner bar from a friend who's a fan. Was quite skeptical but seeing her hair getting smoother and shinier got me curious about them. This is my first time using a shampoo bar and I must say it does take a while getting used to. The results - exactly what I was told! My hair is considered frizzy and after using the bars for a week I can feel my hair getting smoother and become more manageable. I also like the very mild nature scent of the bar - very refreshing and rejuvenating. Go green products! I actually think I might be a convert now LOL.

The shampoo and conditioner are making my hair flawless! They make my hair feel better, silkier and stronger just after one use. Definitely beats any other products have tried. My order also got stuck during the delivery but they sent me a new one. Totally recommend!

I'm really happy I discovered Yao Secret. I do think it is a bit expensive, for a student's budget especially, but so far I've had great results from the shampoo and conditioner bar. The conditioner one is a little bit more difficult to use because I find only a little product seems to come off when you rub it between your hands with warm water, and it quickly crumbles. However my hair becomes really clean, soft and shiny so I love them nonetheless. I also really love the idea of supporting such a local small business, with a beautiful cultural tradition.

Postpartum Hair Loss: Causes and How to Deal With It

May 03, 2022 3 min read

Any mother will agree that pregnancy is a blessing, but as with everything, there are pros and cons, and in this case, we’re discussing how pregnancy affects your hair. Many women have their hair full and thick at the beginning of their pregnancy, only to start losing it after giving birth. This can be puzzling, and if you’ve been wondering why this is and how to deal with the postpartum hair loss that comes with childbirth, you’re on the right page. In this article, we’re going to examine postpartum hair loss, what it is, why it happens, and what you can do about it.

What Causes Postpartum Hair Loss?

Hair grows in different stages, there is the growing phase (anagen) where hair grows actively, there is the transitional phase (catagen) where the growth of hair slows down, and there is the resting phase (telogen) where hair stops growing. A lot of hormonal changes occur in the body during pregnancy, the body produces estrogen, a hormone that greatly influences hair growth. High levels of estrogen-induced by pregnancy make hair stay longer in the growing phase instead of progressing to the resting phase.

This translates to fuller thicker hair during pregnancy because your hair keeps growing without moving to the resting phase. After childbirth, estrogen levels go back to normal and the influence it has on hair growth is reduced. This means a lot of your hair will move from the growing phase to the resting phase, and eventually start to fall out. An average person loses 100 hairs a day, because of the volume of hair moving into the resting phase and then eventually falling out, you might start to lose more hair than the average person.

When Does it Start and How Long Does it Last?

Postpartum hair loss doesn’t happen immediately after giving birth, it happens as your hormone levels gradually return to pre-pregnancy levels and your hair starts to respond accordingly. So you might not experience postpartum hair loss until a few months after giving birth. Your postpartum hair loss won’t be forever, with time you’ll start growing new hair to replace the ones falling out. You can expect to have grown your hair back by the time you celebrate your baby’s first birthday.

Tips for Handling Postpartum Hair Loss

Postpartum hair loss is normal as it occurs because of the hormonal changes that occur in the body during pregnancy, you can’t completely avoid it, but you can manage it. Listed below are some tips that can help you minimize the symptoms of postpartum hair loss and encourage new healthy growth.

Healthy Diet

Consistently eating a healthy diet before, during, and after pregnancy is a great way to keep your body in great shape and reduce the severity and length of postpartum hair loss. Giving your body all the nutrients it needs will speed up your recovery process and prevent your postpartum hair loss from progressing or getting worse.

Nutritional Supplements

You can take supplements to help your hair grow better after postpartum hair loss. Consult with your doctor to know what will work well for you and what you should avoid. Vitamin B complex, Iron, Vitamin C and E, and Zinc are recommended by the American Pregnancy Association.

Relax

Relaxation and reducing stress are great ways to get your hormones balanced and back to their pre-pregnancy levels as fast as possible. Don’t get worked up about you losing your hair. Yes, we understand it can be stressful but it is important to understand that it is a natural process and eventually, you’ll grow all your hair back. A good way to relax is to have people around the house do household chores so you don’t get stressed, you can also adopt regular moderate exercise.

Change Your Hairstyle or Modify your Hair Care Routine

A great way to deal with postpartum hair loss is to adapt to a change or hairstyle and change your hair care routine. You can start keeping short hair till your hormone levels go back to the way it was before pregnancy and childbirth. This can also help reduce the stress attached to styling your hair or visiting the salon for an elaborate hairdo.

Final Thoughts

Postpartum hair loss is a natural phenomenon, it’s nothing to be scared of. Although there isn’t much you can do to completely prevent it or stop it, the tips we’ve given above should help you handle it better. You can also find solace in the fact that it is only temporary, and with time your hair will resume its pre-pregnancy growth cycle.
