One of the things they don’t tell you about when you are pregnant is the after hair loss. It’s happened to me with all 3 of mine and each time it has been worse. It’s like clockwork, three months post partum and bang goes my nice hair and it all starts falling out. The first time I would just clog up the plug with loads of hair eveytime I washed it and my hair got everywhere, I had to hoover loads to pick it all up. Luckily I naturally have loads of hair so it wasn’t noticeable. Second baby was pretty much the same except this time around my hairline I grew back hair that had fallen out in little baby fluff, tufty patches which was really annoying. Third time I actually noticed the thinner patches. They were particularly bad around my hairline again and worse towards my temples. While having my hair done months later my hairdresser found about 5/6 patches of hair regrowth all over my head. Ava is 16 months and my hair around my hairline is still growing back, it has been particularly fine and fluffy around the left side of my forehead and so I swapped my side fringe over to cover it up. I had just been putting up with it and waiting for it to come back on its own when I was contacted my LA Science to see if I wanted to try out their Follicle stimulating shampoo and anti hair loss serum. So obviously I jumped at the chance.
LA Science anti-hair loss product produces healthier hair and extends the growth phase of the hair cycle. The product combines two ingredients that deliver growth factor mimicking peptides and an encapsulated nano system which infuses the base of the follicles.
LA Science Follicle Stimulating Shampoo
Not only does the shampoo clean your hair it is designed to improve blood supply to the scalp. One of the main ingredients is Copper Tripeptide. This increases the blood vessel network to the hair follicles, which increases the size of the follicle, encouraging hair growth. Use daily and massage in to scalp. You don’t need to use a conditioner with this product.
Is an intensive treatment to help extend the growth phase of hair for a thicker looking head of hair. It needs to be applied to the areas twice a day, best done morning and night. Massage into the scalp for about a minute. There is no need to rinse off.
I’ve been using these products for a few weeks now and have noticed an improvement in my patches. I think they are less noticeably thinner now. It will take time for the hair to grow as long as the rest of it but at least it is growing. It says to not use conditioner however my hair is long and quite dry and I found it difficult to brush without any. I have however noticed that I can now use less conditioner than normal and my hair is looking and feeling in better condition. I’m also noticing that less hair is falling out when I wash and brush it.
I’ve looked through for some photo’s of when my thin patches were at their worst and surprisingly I don’t have many!

no, I was lucky there, but I do lose a lot everytime I wash it!!
This looks like a great product. My hair is still a lot finer since having Little Button, but I hadn’t thought to try something like this. #PicknMix
This could be good for my Mum who’s hair has been very fine due to illness, my own hair also seems to be getting flatter and flatter with age! Thanks for the review #Picknmix
I lost a bit but I still had to go and have my hair massively thinned out because it was so thick and unmanageable. x #picknmix
My baby girl is only 5 weeks old and I haven’t experienced any hair loss as yet! (touch wood) in fact my hair went thicker and my colour went a deeper red in the last trimester. xx
#picknmix
This looks like a good product. I suffered quite badly with hair loss after having my daughter too. Naively I thought that as I didn’t lose much in the weeks after birth I was going to get away with it – I was wrong. Same as you, after a few months it started coming out and I am now sporting those funny baby fluff patches on my hairline. #PicknMix
I’ve always had fine and thin hair
NO i did not lose hair after pregnancy
I would give this to my neighbour who has recently finished treatment for breast cancer, her hair is slowly growing back and this may help.
This looks like something i need! My hair fell out during my anorexia period years ago and after having both of my children. My hair is really thin :/ #picknmix
Yes!
No, but as i’m getting older my hair is starting to really thin out xx
I have heard a lot of good stuff about serum. This sounds like an interesting product, I have never heard of it before X #picknmix
Oh yes, I had little sideburns for about a year!
No, I didn’t.
My hair was awful after both of my boys I pretty much had a receding hairline at the sides…. my youngest is 10 now and it’s still shorter in places than the rest of my hair!
Stevie x
Yes lots 🙁
Mine has never really been the same since my 3rd baby.I fond mine thinned in the same places as yours and although the fluffy bits grew back it’s just not got as much life in it anymore #picknmix
I think I am lucky my hair is so thick that even losing lots it wasn’t patchy. This looks great though! #PickNMix
i had very fine hair anyway but whist pregnant it became thick and i looved it but here i am 3 years later with my thin hair again 🙁 xx
Yes its really thinning.
Luckily no, but as I’m getting older I find that it is thinning
my hair is thinning at the front badly, could really do with this x
I haven’t had a child but my sister has and she found that her hair got thinner and lost a lot of hair since birth

During pregnancy my hair was probably at it’s best, after pregnancy it thinned out and lost it’s luster. Sounds weird, but I would say but it was almost as though my hair deflated in sympathy with my boobs!
I didn’t lose a lot of hair after pregnancy but I am losing it now because I have lupus and am on a lot of awful medication which makes you lose your hair so would love to try this!
my sis has in both her pregnancies so this would be great for her 🙂
I’ve always had very fine hair.
I made the decision not to have my own biological children due to a genetic condition, so I have never been pregnant to find out what it would do to my hair
