A routine we'd try
Once you have checked iron, thyroid and hormones with a doctor, some women like to add a calm at-home scalp routine. Our featured kit pairs a hair serum with a derma roller and prep spray. It contains minoxidil 5%, which may help some people with pattern thinning over 3–6 months; early shedding is possible, it is not a cure, and it is not for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Consult a doctor first.

Postpartum shedding usually starts two to four months after delivery and often settles by the baby's first birthday. If it continues beyond a year, or you also feel very tired, ask your doctor to check your iron and thyroid.
Yes. During pregnancy, many hairs stay in the growing phase. After delivery, they shed together. This is called telogen effluvium and is very common.
The most common reasons are shedding after delivery or illness, low iron, thyroid problems, PCOS, stress, crash diets and female pattern thinning. Tight hairstyles and harsh chemical treatments also play a part. Finding the cause matters more than changing shampoo.
PCOS-related thinning is driven by hormones, so it is managed through a gynaecologist or dermatologist. Topical treatments and, for some women, hormone-balancing medicines are used. Weight, sleep and diet support help. Shampoos and oils alone won't fix it.
Doctors commonly check a complete blood count, ferritin (iron stores), thyroid (TSH), vitamin D and B12, and sometimes hormone tests if PCOS is suspected. Your doctor will choose what is right for you.
Low iron stores (low ferritin) are linked with increased shedding, and iron deficiency is common among women in Pakistan. Only take iron supplements after a blood test and on a doctor's advice.
