Four to five months after giving birth, the hair will shed at an alarming rate, and it can be worrying.
Our hair grows in cycles: a growing phase, a resting phase, and a shedding phase that continues to repeat.
But during pregnancy, most of the hair stays in the growth phase due to those big changes in your body's hormones.
Once your baby arrives and your hormones begin to change again, the level of estrogen falls, causing your thick head of pregnancy hair to begin the shedding phase.
Because so much of your hair sheds all at once, the volume of hair loss seems far more substantial.
But customers are hailing a "miracle" oil, which can fit into any haircare routine - applied daily or as a luxurious mask before wash day.
Some shoppers have claimed it could reverse their postpartum hair loss in weeks.
Mielle's original Rosemary Mint Scalp & Hair Strengthening Oil can be added to your Amazon basket for just £7.33.
It promotes "amazing moisture and shine" and supports "longer, healthier hair".
The product is infused with the vitamin biotin, which is also beneficial for nails and skin.

There are no parabens, sulfates, paraffins, mineral oil, or DEA, and it's not tested on animals.
"Mielle aims to empower women of all hair types and styles with powerful products and gentle, organic ingredients that amplify your natural beauty and are the 'root to results' that leave you looking and feeling your best," said the company.
Shoppers have been raving about the hair oil, and even claimed it helped them with post-partum hair loss.
"This oil has been a true saviour for me after experiencing postpartum hair loss, which left me with noticeable bald spots around my hairline," penned one.
"Having used this consistently for a year, I am thrilled with the results."
Another added: "This stuff is a miracle worker! Even the hairdressers at my salon noticed my hair growth and asked what have I been using! Bonus point- it's helped my nails grow as well."
A third agreed: "This product has been remarkable. My hair fall have reduced significantly after the last use. Definitely recommended."
This comes as a radio presenter has revealed that she suffered severe hair loss after having her second child, but a 59p buy has got it looking thick and healthy again.
Meanwhile, another woman shared how she grew her hair thicker using this simple £2 remedy from Asda.
She told how she took her hair from the size of a pinky in a ponytail to long and luscious using this one clever hack.
Elsewhere, this is a £6 shampoo shoppers are going wild for, which makes your hair grow quickly, but it won't be in the beauty aisle.

Clock is ticking to grab £60 off Ninja Doublestack XL Air Fryer in limited-time deal An air fryer has become a household essential, and now shoppers can snap one up for less This massive air fryer makes cooking healthy meals a breeze (Image: Amazon ) Air fryers have quickly become an essential for every household. They are known to make cooking healthy meals easier, quicker and efficient for everyone as they cut cooking time back hugely. However, it can be expensive to invest in a good quality one and shoppers often find themselves doing without. Now, they are in luck as they can snag the NInja Double Stack XL Air Fryer for £209.01 down from £269.99 on Amazon. The Ninja airfryer is said to be 30% slimmer than the AF400, helping save space on shoppers counters. Despite the smaller footprint, it has an extra-large 9.5L capacity - enough to cook for up to eight people - and can cook up to 55% faster than a fan oven (tested on fish fingers and sausages).

Rear-positioned fans also help ensure even cooking and crisping across all levels and the unit is said to use up to 55% less energy than a traditional oven - based on sausage cooking tests using the air fry function. With the air fryer comes six cooking modes - max crisp, air fry, roast, bake, reheat and dehydrate. It includes two 4.75L drawers, two non-stick crisper plates and two racks. All parts are completely dishwasher safe and it comes with a 2-year guarantee when registered. For other options of air fryers, shoppers could also try the Breville VDF131 Halo XL 9L Air Fryer in Silver for £90 which uses 360 degree air circulation and 99.5% less oil than standard 3L Breville fryers, is said to be ideal for family meals as it offers 65% more cooking capacity, and has six pre-set options.

One shopper said: 'I love air fryers and I really love this one, it takes up less room than my last one. Yes it's a big investment but it's so versatile, well made and you have the security of having a well known and established quality brand. You can cook almost anything in it, it's easy to clean, saves a fortune by not using the oven, and the energy efficiency is great. Controls are easy to navigate. The top drawer tends to cook quicker than the bottom drawer which is fine. I would highly recommend this to anyone, small families, large families, absolutely great products.' Another wrote: 'This thing has absolutely no business being this good. It's like having a tiny kitchen wizard on your counter who somehow knows how to make chips better than you ever could. The 9.5L size is a game-changer — you can actually cook for real people, not just two sad potato wedges at a time.' 'I have cooked roast potatoes for a roast, perfect. Chips are crispy and not dried out or hard. Fish cooked well as well as chicken items. Can't wait to try everything else, possibilities are endless,' said another buyer. Some did share opposing opinions, as one shopper said: 'This is not the best. In fact I'm really disappointed with it. This is the second ninja we have purchased the first was brilliant couldn't fault it but this takes twice as long to cook anything.' Article continues below 'I am disappointed with my purchase, it has not functioned correctly for some time now,' said another. However, for £60 off a great quality option, the Ninja Double Stack XL Air Fryer could be a perfect buy.

Sleep problem that affects 10million people in UK could trigger world's deadliest cancer, first-of-its-kind study warns
Find out if you're at risk of the sleep problem below WAKE-UP CALL Sleep problem that affects 10million people in UK could trigger world's deadliest cancer, first-of-its-kind study warns HEAVY snorers could be at risk of the world's deadliest cancer, a shock new study has revealed. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has previously been linked to an increased risk of certain cancers. Advertisement 1 Obstructive sleep apnoea has been specifically linked to lung cancer Credit: Getty Now, in a world-first trial, a "significant" link has been found between the condition and lung cancer. US researchers, who assessed the health records of more than 2.4 million adults, say they're not exactly sure why it raises the risk. But they believe it could be due to a lack of oxygen people with the condition get during the night - or lifestyle factors such as smoking and obesity. The findings were presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology conference in Chicago. Advertisement Scientists present urged policymakers to consider screening those with OSA for the cancer, and to tackle the condition early, soon after diagnosis. Globally, an estimated 936 million adults aged 30-69 years are affected by OSA. The condition occurs when the muscles in the throat relax too much during sleep, causing the airway to narrow or close, interrupting breathing. This can happen due to several factors, including obesity, a large neck or collar size, structural abnormalities like a small lower jaw or a large tongue, and other medical conditions. Advertisement Common symptoms include breathing stopping and starting, making gasping, snorting or choking noises, waking up a lot, and loud snoring, says the NHS. According to the Sleep Apnoea Trust, as many as 10 million people in the UK suffer from OSA – with up to four million of these suffering either severely or moderately - although it's considered to be underdiagnosed. I'm a doctor and these 5 changes could be a sign of deadly lung cancer It's important to note while snoring is a common symptom of OSA, it's not a guaranteed sign. In the study, researchers at Marshall University in West Virginia tracked lung cancer diagnoses and separated those diagnosed with OSA and those without. Advertisement After accounting for different influential factors, such as age, people with OSA were found to be 1.21 times more likely to develop lung cancer compared to those without the sleep disorder. Dr Jowan Al-Nusair, study co-author and physician at Marshall University told MailOnline it was "one of the first statistically significant studies" to prove a link between the condition and lung cancer. She added: "While further studies are definitely now needed to investigate just how the significant the link truly is, this suggests OSA may be a preventable risk factor for lung cancer. "We should be more closely monitoring patients with OSA. Patients would definitely benefit from screening and early intervention to combat OSA. Advertisement "Additional studies are essential to understand exactly why OSA may increase this risk. "We really hope this will pave the way for future research and testing." Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. In the UK, around 35,000 people die from lung cancer each year. Advertisement The primary cause of lung cancer is tobacco smoke, accounting for the vast majority of cases. But lung cancer cases are now rising among young people who have never smoked, with some experts attributing this to factors like air pollution.

Achieve the 'perfect lawn' with minimal effort in just three steps
Achieve the 'perfect lawn' with minimal effort in just three steps A gardening blogger has shared his three easy steps 'anyone can use' to achieve the 'perfect' lawn The gardener's guide is easy to follow (stock photo) (Image: Getty ) With spring in full swing, many families will be venturing into their gardens for the first time this year and planning for the summer months. Whether you're eagerly anticipating BBQs in the warmer weather or other exciting events, you might wish your lawn was a tad greener. Luckily, a gardening blogger has shared his top tips on achieving a "perfect lawn," and it only involves three steps. The advice comes from @ who shares daily gardening tips with his 70,000 followers on TikTok. In a recent video, the gardening fan shared "The Lazy Gardener's Guide to a Perfect Lawn." Ish said: "Today in the garden, I'm going to give you my ultimate lazy gardener guide on how to make your lawn absolutely perfect in only three steps. First things first, you need something known as iron sulphate. "Now, this is super duper easy. You put the recommended dosage in your watering can and sprinkle it all over the lawn, and as a result, the iron in it boosts up the greenness of your grass, but also burns things like moss and weeds, keeping all the bad bits out but the good bits in." For the second step, you'll need some equipment, but it doesn't have to be costly, reports the Express. The blogger explained: "You're going to want to scarify the lawn. Now, you can do that with a garden fork, or you can use one of these, a specific scarifier." Content cannot be displayed without consent Article continues below Demonstrating his scarifier, he continued: "This has rotating blades that go into the soil, creating air pockets and more drainage. It also pulls away some of the thatch layer, which is a buildup of grass cuttings, which prevent light and air from getting through to those roots and creating perfect grass." Once you complete this step, your garden might not look as nice as you'd hoped, but it's part of the process. Ish explained: "Warning in advance, your grass is going to look ugly as hell after this, but I promise you, it's worth it." "Now that your lawn looks semi-destroyed, you can address the next problem, which is the bald patches," he added. "You'll get quite a few of them in the lawn, and now that you've made the air pockets it's super easy just to add some grass seed on top, and chuck a load all over the place as well and overseed your lawn." The blogger shared tips for fellow gardeners (stock photo) (Image: Getty ) Finally, all that remains is to maintain your garden. Ish said: "Give it a good water every day or so and in the next four to five weeks this lawn will look absolutely perfect." He concluded: "You don't need to mow it for the next few weeks, either. Just keep it well-watered and that's it. Easy lawn in three steps." In the comment section, a viewer asked: "My lawn has pits and lumps. what should I level it with? just top soil?" The blogger replied: "Top soil will work a treat! I like to make a mound slightly taller than the hole and rake over flat." Article continues below Someone else wrote: "I have loads of birds in the garden, how can I protect the seeds until the grass established?" Ish advised: "Couple things you can do - you can lightly add some top soil over the grass (just a thin sprinkle!) or get some of those kiddie windmills - the shinier the better!"
