You find it on your pillow. In the shower drain. Wrapped around your fingers every time you run your hands through your hair.
You knew motherhood would change your body, but nobody warned you about this.
You pull your hair back and the ponytail is half what it used to be, you catch your reflection and something looks different. Thinner. Emptier. You tell yourself it will grow back.
But weeks turn to months and the shedding does not stop.
Sister, This Is More Common Than You Think
Postpartum hair loss, clinically known as telogen effluvium, affects up to 50% of new mothers. During pregnancy, high oestrogen keeps your hair in its growth phase. After birth, those hormones crash, and all the hair you held onto starts shedding at once.
The American Academy of Dermatology says most women see it start around 2 to 4 months postpartum. For some, it resolves within a year. For others, especially those who are breastfeeding, sleep-deprived, and nutritionally depleted, it lingers far longer.
Think about everything your body just did. SubhanAllah, it grew a whole human being. Your baby drew on your protein, your iron, your collagen stores to build bones, skin, and organs. The same nutrients your hair needs to grow were redirected to something far more important.
But now that your baby is here, your body is trying to rebuild with empty reserves.
The Missing Piece Most Sisters Are Not Told About
Collagen.
Your hair is made of keratin, and your body needs specific amino acids, particularly proline and glycine, to produce it. Collagen is one of the richest natural sources of both.
On top of that, your hair grows from follicles embedded in the dermis, a skin layer that is largely made of collagen. When that layer thins from depletion, the environment your hair grows in weakens. Thinner dermis means weaker follicles, which means thinner, slower-growing hair.
Supplementing with collagen gives your postpartum body the building blocks it needs for hair, for skin, for recovery, without stealing from anything else.
Why Most Collagen Is Not Made For Sisters Like Us
Walk into any health shop and the collagen options are everywhere, but almost none of them are truly halal. Most are sourced from non-zabiha bovine or fish of questionable processing. Many are loaded with sweeteners, flavourings, and additives you would not want anywhere near your breastmilk.
That is why Deen Health Halal Collagen Protein was made. By Muslims, for Muslims.
