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.

Warning over dangers of giant hogweed to humans and pets
Giant hogweed can cause 'severe burns' that reappear for years and can 'even lead to blindness', specialists warn. This highly invasive plant, with its toxic sap that causes photosensitivity, is found along river paths or woodland and should be treated with 'extreme caution'. What is giant hogweed, and is it dangerous? Giant hogweed, also known by its Latin name Heracleum Mantegazzianum, originated in Southern Russia and Georgia. The plant is part of the Apiaceae family, which includes well-known vegetables and herbs like parsley, carrot, parsnip and coriander. Giant hogweed can be found in woodland (Image: Getty/DERO2084) Giant hogweed was introduced to Britain and Europe in the 19th century, from the Caucasus Mountains. The earliest documented reference to the plant has been traced back to the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew Seed List of 1817, where seeds of the plant were listed. The plant itself can reach over 10ft in height and, according to The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS): "Most gardeners will want to eradicate it, as it is potentially invasive and the sap can cause severe skin burns." What does giant hogweed look like? The Woodland Trust outlines the appearance of Giant Hogweed so that you can better identify the dangerous plant. Stems: the stems are green with purple blotches and stiff, white hairs. The stems are hollow with ridges and a thick circle of hair at the base of each leaf stalk Leaves: the leaves are huge, and can measure up to 1.5m wide and 3m long, and are often divided into smaller leaflets. The Woodland Trust compares them to rhubarb leaves, with irregular and jagged edges, with the underside of the leaf being described as hairy Flowers: the flowers of the Giant Hogweed appear in June and July, and are small and white and appear in clusters on 'umbrella-like heads' that face upwards Seeds: the seeds are dry, flattened and in an oval shape, almost 1cm long and tan in colour with brown lines Jennifer Holmes, from Environment Controls, said: 'This dramatic-looking plant, found along many a river path, or woodland walk, must be treated with extreme caution. 'Its toxic sap contains furocoumarin, which makes skin extremely sensitive to sunlight and is a danger to humans and pets. 'Its distinctive flower heads emerge in June - and can be easily mistaken for other plants such as Cow parsley (non-toxic), Hemlock or Hemlock water dropwort (both highly toxic). 'If you touch giant hogweed, you may not notice anything immediately as the effects may take up to 24 hours to emerge, but soon large blisters will form on skin and will recur when exposed to sunlight. Recommended Reading: 'As well as its harmful properties, as it colonises river banks this can make it difficult to eradicate - do not try to remove it yourself, always consult an expert.' What should you do if you have a reaction to giant hogweed? If you or your pet comes into contact with giant hogweed sap, immediately wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and cold water. Crucially, keep the affected skin out of direct sunlight for at least 48 hours. Seek immediate medical attention if blisters develop, and particularly if sap gets into the eyes.

Binky Felstead reveals she ‘freaked out' over horrifying post-baby health issue & was swamped with hundreds of messages
MOUTH SCARE Binky Felstead reveals she 'freaked out' over horrifying post-baby health issue & was swamped with hundreds of messages Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BINKY Felstead has opened up about a concerning health condition that left her fearing she'd lose teeth. The mum-of-three, 35, recently revealed that she had been diagnosed with gum disease which was destroying her bone and needed urgent attention. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Binky Felstead says she's got her 'mojo' back Credit: Getty 5 The mum-of-three pictured with daughter India and son Wolfie Credit: Supplied 5 Binky has teamed up with Heinz for the release of its Mr. Men Little Miss pasta sauce Credit: HEINZ She bravely shared the health issue with her Instagram followers and was inundated with hundreds of messages from mums suffering with the same condition. In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Binky says: "I actually put the gum thing online because I had no idea what it was and if it was common. "I was really worried about it and I actually only learnt through social media. By the way, hundreds of messages I got from other parents, other women, saying they've got the same. "I think the old wives tale is that you lose a tooth per child. I don't know, I'm freaking out, I'm going to have a tooth in ten years." Mum to daughter India, eight, from her past relationship with Josh 'JP' Patterson and sons Wolfie, three, and Wilder, one, with husband Max Darnton, Binky uses her platform to give an honest account of motherhood – warts and all. She continues: "Anyway, there's lots of not so glamorous things that happen after giving birth and having children. "I mean, I've started having to do my greys. I think it's all fun and games, and obviously the good outweighs the bad. "I think it's really important to talk about those things on social media. It calmed me down knowing how common this was and I've got some really great recommendations. "I'm hoping I can do the same with other people. Like my son's sesame allergy, helping to get these things desensitised and kind of being open and honest and talking about things like having cancerous cells, getting a smear test. "I'm using my platform for helping and educating in any small way I can." Made in Chelsea stars stage the Ultimate Reunion Binky feels her family is now complete, though admits she would like to add one more child to her brood. Eight years on from leaving Made In Chelsea, she says she finally feels like she has her "s**t together". "I feel like I've had child after child, and I've kind of been in the woods slightly, feeling a little bit kind of out of it," she admits. "And now I feel like I'm kind of getting my my Mojo back." Though as happy as she is, Binky isn't immune from the challenges that face mums and dads up and down the country. She's teamed up with Heinz to promote its new Mr. Men Little Miss pasta sauce in a bid to make mealtimes that little bit easier and tastier. The release of the smooth Bolognese sauce, which contains 100 percent natural ingredients and three vegetables, comes after new research found over a third of parents struggle getting their children to eat veg. Binky says: "I think all meal times are pretty stressful, and I've gone down the route of kind of creating beautiful masterpieces that have taken me hours to make, and I put them in front of my children, and there's vegetables in there. There's everything you could think of that's like going to shove goodness in them, and of course they roll their eyes, push their plate away, and they can go completely silent on me. "So I have to take myself off into a different room, just to kind of calm down and just kind of breathe after being completely shot down by my children. "I've just realised that if there's any easy, nutritious, yummy thing out there like this amazing sauce Bolognese sauce. It's a bit of a no brainer, really." Adding to the fun for kids is the inclusion of new character Mr. Ridiculously Good on the label. Away from family life, Binky has been filming the second run of Beyond Chelsea, the Made In Chelsea spin-off following the lives of original stars Binky, Lucy Watson and Rosie Fortescue. Binky pitched the idea to telly bosses last year after being constantly asked what the cast members were up to now and is delighted with how it's been received. And she's also launching her first kidswear range with Marks & Spencer which she calls a "pinch me" moment. She says: "I mean, I've had my first bra fitted at Marks and Spencers. I've grown up with Marks and Spencers. So that was a really cool career highlight." The new pasta sauce will be available nationwide in Tesco from 23rd July and other retailers from the end of July, with an RRP of £3.00 and an introductory offer of £1.75. 5 Binky is married to Max Darnton Credit: Instagram
