I went to lay my edges for my cousin's baby shower last Saturday and had a full meltdown on my bathroom floor. Edge brush in my hand. Makeup half done. My mama texting me asking where I was. My cousin blowing up my phone. I looked in the mirror and couldn't find my edges. Not thinning. Not sparse. Gone. I'm 4 months postpartum. I had the thickest hair of my whole life when I was pregnant. I used to complain about how much hair I had. Now I'm sitting on the bathroom floor at 32 years old crying over a slick back I couldn't do. I put on a wig and went to the baby shower anyway. Smiled in every picture. Came home, put the baby down, and googled at 2am like every other new mama in my situation. "postpartum hair loss black women" "will my edges come back" "3 months pp edges gone help" Y'all the internet is USELESS. Every article says the same thing. "Postpartum hair loss is normal, it'll grow back in 6-12 months, just be patient." Be patient? Ma'am. My husband's company Christmas party is in 5 weeks. My baby's 1st birthday shoot is in December. I don't have 12 months. And there's a post I'd been seeing on the mommy forum that was haunting me. A woman whose baby was almost 4 years old and her hair still hadn't come back. I was TERRIFIED that was gonna be me. So I tried everything. Castor oil got on my pillow, on the baby's blanket, on everything. My husband moved to his side of the bed cause of the smell. Rosemary oil itched my scalp so bad I was scratching in my sleep. Biotin gummies my sister swore by broke me out around my jawline like I was 16 again. Already had pregnancy acne. Did NOT need more. Rice water. Hair smelled like leftovers. Mielle Rosemary Mint that everybody on TikTok was raving about. My edges got WORSE. Y'all I'm not exaggerating. I was about to give up when my sister-in-law Deanna texted me. "Have you heard of Dr. Simone Okonkwo?" I said no. "She's a Black trichologist out of Houston. Did a consult with my aunt after her second baby. Her edges came all the way back in. Look her up." I booked a virtual that night. First thing Dr. Okonkwo said on the call, before I even finished explaining. "Baby. How old is your son?" I said 4 months. "Mhm. And how much hair did you have when you were pregnant?" I said too much. "That's what I thought. Let me explain something to you that no doctor is gonna tell you." She said when you pregnant your estrogen is through the roof. That's what makes your hair thick. That's what makes your nails grow. Your body is basically in hair-keeping mode for 9 months. Then you have the baby and your estrogen drops off a cliff. All that hair you was holding onto, your body releases it all at once. That's why it feels like it's falling out in clumps. "That part," she said, "is normal. Every woman goes through it. The shedding itself stops on its own." I was like ok so why am I still losing it. She said here's what nobody tells postpartum mamas. Especially not us. "The shedding stops. But the regrowth don't just happen automatically. For most of y'all, the regrowth never starts. And that's where you get stuck." I sat up. "Your body just spent 9 months feeding another human out of you. Iron. Vitamin D. Zinc. B12. Silica. All the stuff your hair needs to grow. Baby took everything. Your body saved nothing for you. So even after the shedding stops, there's nothing in your system to rebuild the hair with. Your follicles are sitting there empty. Waiting for raw materials that never come." "Then on top of that, you probably been wearing tight braids or wigs during pregnancy and since you had the baby. Cause what mama got time to do her hair with a newborn?" I laughed. I had knotless braids in my whole third trimester and bought my first wig 2 weeks after giving birth. "Right. So you got traction damage on top of nutrient depletion on top of a hormone crash. All three working against your edges at the same time." Then she said the part that made me cry. "Tasha. I want you to listen to me. You got a window right now. Most mamas have about 6 to 12 months where the body is trying to rebuild. If you give it what it needs in that window, your hair comes back. Maybe even better than before. But if you miss that window, the follicles go dormant from starvation. And dormant follicles don't stay dormant forever. Eventually some of them die. You don't want to be that mama at year 2, year 3, year 4 still shedding cause you waited too long to do something about it." I thought about that post on that forum. The woman whose baby was almost 4. "That's what happens when you miss the window." I sat there on FaceTime like ma'am. She said to find a supplement that does three things at once. Refills the nutrients my body depleted during pregnancy. Wakes up dormant follicles before they die. Calms the inflammation from whatever tight styles I been wearing postpartum. Iron bisglycinate. Vitamin D3. Zinc. Methylated B12. Bamboo silica. To refill what the baby took. Saw palmetto. Pumpkin seed extract. Pea sprout extract. To wake up dormant follicles. Black seed extract. Boswellia. Turmeric. Wheat germ. To calm the inflammation from the braids and wigs. "All in one formula. Real doses. Not a gummy. Not a $15 oil. A real supplement. Breastfeeding safe. If you find one, that's your answer." I went home and started reading labels. Nutrafol. Missing too many things. Every "mommy hair vitamin" on Amazon. Made for 20 year old white girls. Then Deanna called back. "Check out Elystria Root Revive. My aunt's been on it for a year." I pulled up the ingredient panel. Every single thing Dr. Okonkwo told me to look for was on there. I ordered the same day. 12 Weeks Later Week 2. The shedding stopped. Like actually stopped. I washed my hair and almost didn't lose any. I stood in the shower looking at the drain like is this really happening. Week 4. Scalp stopped itching. My edges didn't look better yet but they felt different when I ran my finger across them. Like something was happening under there. Week 6. Baby hairs. I almost dropped my phone. I pulled down the visor mirror in the car and there they were. I texted Deanna a blurry close-up and she said GIRL. Week 10. My mama came over for Sunday dinner. Hadn't seen me in 3 weeks. Took one look at me and said "Tasha. Your edges." That's all she said. Just stared at my forehead. Week 12. I wore a slicked back bun to my friend's baby shower. Real hair. Real edges. Real ponytail. Listen mama. If you 3 months pp, 4 months, 6 months, or 2 years out still shedding, you not crazy. You not broken. Your hair didn't "just fall out" and isn't gonna "just come back." The shedding part is normal. But nobody told you the regrowth needs help. And every month you wait, some of those follicles are going dormant from starvation. You got a window.
