Pregnancy changes almost everything — hair included. Some women get the thickest hair of their lives. Others watch it turn dry and brittle, or start shedding early. Both are normal. Here's what I tell my clients.

Hormones drive the whole story. During pregnancy, more hairs than usual stay in their growing phase — that's the famous "pregnancy hair." Then, two to four months after the baby arrives, those held hairs let go, often all at once. It even has a name: telogen effluvium. It feels frightening. For most women, it's temporary.

But here's the part almost nobody says out loud: the hair you grow now is the hair you'll be living with after the baby. Keeping it strong, elastic, and properly fed with lipids today is the best preparation for the months ahead. Store products just coat it so it feels smooth for a day, then rinse away.

In my salon I see expecting guests and new mothers every single week. Lipid Complex is the exact treatment from my chair — made in Italy to a pharmaceutical-grade standard, in two simple packs.

Twenty minutes, once a month. It won't stop postpartum shedding — nothing in a bottle honestly can — but it keeps the hair you have strong, soft, and alive through the whole ride.
