For the first 2 babies, I was living out the hair loss and waited until my babies were roughly 2 years old for my hormone to settled down and my hair to get back to its almost pre mummy days.
For the third one, the moment my baby was 3 months old, my hair falls started and this time it had became so bad that it covered the whole water strainer everytime whenever I showered. It also dropped all over the house.
I posted in my Facebook about my dilemma and calls for opinion on how to resolve it. As a result, I cut my long hair to neck length, and also tried a shampoo that my own sister used. She also had a very bad post natal hair loss and almost getting bald on the top of her head because of it. She recommended Marine Essence Bamboo Salt shampoo by Hai-O Marketing. As I can see the good result on her, I decided to try it out myself. I like the shampoo because it smells so good, it made my hair soft and manageable even without the use of its hair conditioner, and I can actually see my baby hairs growing. It does help with my hair fall by 50% over the 8 months or 3 bottles of usage.
Unfortunately, in March this year for my birthday dinner, I had gone to the saloon and decided to updo my hair. While still in its fragile condition, my hair and its scalp was affected by the harsh treatment. Following that, my hair loss became worse than what it was before. All the baby hairs almost gone plus I could grab my hair by the handful everytime during the shower. Not even the Bamboo Salt shampoo could reverse the damage that was done. My husband started to notice my thinning scalp and receding hairline as well.
By chance, the last saloon i visited, I decided to do a 'hair relaxing' treatment. It was to uncurl the fringes that also happened as the result of my updo. While doing the treatment, I was talking to the hairdresser about my hair loss. The saloon owner came to me and suggested for me to try Schwarzkopf Bonacure Scalp Genesis Root Activating Shampoo. I did not plan to buy it, but then so far this saloon is the one who hardly bugging me about their hair products for all the time I have been there. I decided to try it and was hoping this big brand name will be proven to know what were they talking about.

And boy, I was over the moon. The difference can be seen right from my very first hair wash. There is hardly much hair in my hands or water strainer! I dare to say that my hair falls was reduced to 80-90%! I was beyond words on how to describe my amazement that there is such product that really turned out to be true. It also helped with my dandruff. I could lapse with 3-4 days between washing despite being in this humid country.
The only downside to this shampoo, is that my hair became extremely dry, just like what the saloon owner had precautioned. I did not buy the hair conditioner as I wanted to finish up my own hair conditioner first (Herbalife brand). Even with the hair conditioner, it stills feels dry, but I can live with that as there are many products that can help easily.
This shampoo is only available at some hair saloon or shop that specialized in hair products. However, I found out that I can also buy it from Shopee, for half the price I paid at the saloon. I will buy it again plus its hair conditioner+serum of the same range.
The prices are not cheap, but every cent paid for this product is totally worth it. I wished that I had this product from my first baby.
