As a healthy and active 24-year-old woman, the last thing you expect to see is your hair falling out. However, about six months after having my daughter, that’s exactly what I noticed. My hair was changing, and not for the better.
Clumps were falling out after every shower or time I ran the brush through it. There was horror, shock, disbelief. But more than anything, an immediate desire for a solution.
Not strands — clumps.

A thinning hairline and split ends had hijacked my full, luscious locks that I’d so enjoyed during pregnancy. Brightness turned into dullness, and even my highlights had become ho-hum.
My hair had no business falling out, or so I thought, but postpartum hair loss is quite common — as is hair loss at different stages in our lives, regardless of gender. Common culprits include aging, stress, sleep, lifestyle choices, and changing environmental stressors.
Of course, an array of hair masks, shampoos, and conditioners promise to help bring life back into your locks. But, as my hairstylist pointed out when I came to them in despair, “None of these products target the root causes of hair loss… Nutrafol does.”
Before and after starting Nutrafol

Nutrafol offers tailored formulas to meet you where you are — specific formulations for men, younger women, women over 45, and the first year postpartum.
These unique supplements combine rigorously tested vitamins and minerals that address dietary needs, hormonal imbalances, and cortisol spikes that contribute to hair loss.
In a clinical study cited by the brand, 91% of women using Nutrafol within their first year postpartum noticed less shedding after two months, and 98% saw improvement after four months.
I was sold after I came across that data.
As a commerce reporter, part of my job is testing products. Often, that means products show up for me to give an honest review. However, not with Nutrafol. Considering how desperate I was to fix the endless bad hair days, I decided to bite the bullet and buy it, and it’s not cheap.
These supplements typically retail for almost $90 for just a one-month supply.
But three months later, I’m so glad that I did.
Baby hairs are back, the shine has returned, and it suddenly feels thicker than ever. The results are paying off.
Since starting the program, I’ve been tracking the price religiously, and I was thrilled to see that it reached the lowest price ever for Prime Day at just $70, and the sale is still available.
Nutrafol’s OBGYN-developed postpartum collection features a proprietary blend of 26 breastfeeding-friendly vitamins, minerals, and natural ingredients, including Theanine and Shatavari, DHA Omega-3s and Tocotrienol Complex, and Marine Collagen with nettle and apple.

I’m not the only one to experience incredible results — even before they should be expected. Hundreds of shoppers have shared their rave reviews about Nutrafol on Amazon. Some even pointed out unexpected side effects — like reduced stress and better sleep.
“I was struggling horribly bad with hair loss from postpartum. My hair steadily came out in mounds for three months. I’ve been taking these vitamins for a solid two months, and I can honestly say I’m starting to feel like myself again,” one woman shared. “I have so much new growth around my forehead area which is the main area that was affected.”
