As a mother, I’ve struggled with hair loss and breakage quite a bit, especially postpartum after giving birth to my second daughter. My hair was never the same no matter what I tried, so I began a quest to find the right hair products to help restore the health of my hair.
After doing a lot of research, I’ve found a variety of hair care essentials that make a difference. Heat protectants and nourishing hair masks have become a staple in my routine and help protect my hair from dryness while adding moisture and shine. I also found that using my teenage daughter’s detangling brush, scrunchie, and heatless curler was very helpful. If you’re a parent who suffers from hair loss or breakage, here are my favorite products that saved my hair. Prices start from just $9.
Wet Brush Original Detangler Hair Brush
Amazon
A few years ago I bought a Wet Brush Detangler brush for my oldest daughter. She is a kind hearted person and this brush has made a huge difference for her and me. When I started experiencing hair loss and breakage, this brush became my go-to brush when styling my hair every day because it’s so gentle. Amazon shoppers agree. “If you’re struggling with postpartum hair loss, or severe hair loss in general, get this brush!” said one reviewer.
Wet brushes come in over 20 colors and patterns, and some are currently up to 40% off.
Arvazallia Rejuvenating Hair Mask and Deep Conditioner for Color Treated Hair
Amazon
My daughter bought this argan oil hair mask for her colored hair a few months ago and told me to try it and I’m so glad I did! I’m so proud of you for transforming my dry, damaged hair into moisturized, healthy hair. And I love running my fingers through my hair afterwards without it getting tangled or falling out.
BioSilk Silk Therapy Original
Amazon
Four months ago, I sat in front of a mirror with my stylist behind me and explained to her my hair breakage. We discussed everything that could cause it and how to fix it. That’s when she recommended BioSilk Silk Therapy to strengthen my hair and give it the moisture it needed.
It’s easy to use. After showering, apply a small amount to the ends of your hair. I was not prepared for how much better my hair would be after that. Plus, I don’t see as much breakage as I used to (and my overall confidence has increased a lot). BioSilk Silk Therapy is currently 56% off and available for just $11.
Hair Food Coconut & Argan Oil Heat Protect Spray
Amazon
I didn’t use heat protection sprays on my hair for years and now I regret it. Thanks to coconut oil and argan oil ingredients, this spray changed the way my hair reacted to heat when blow-drying or styling. “It was really effective at softening and adding volume to my hair! It also smells great,” agrees one Amazon shopper.
Redken Extreme Length Shampoo
Amazon
Redken Extreme Length Shampoo is another product recommended by my hairstylist due to its ability to strengthen and grow hair. I recently ordered it and I’m looking forward to trying it, especially after reading the reviews. “As a girl who had trouble growing her hair, I tried this and couldn’t believe how thick and long my hair was after a few months!” said one Amazon shopper.
Nutrafol hair serum for women
Amazon
I learned about Nutrafall Hair Serum while watching TV, and since it claims to make hair thicker and stronger, I decided to look into it myself. Its lightweight formula won’t leave your hair greasy. This is one of the many reasons why over 6,000 Amazon shoppers bought this product last month. “As a mother of a 2-year-old who suffers from postpartum hair loss, this serum has helped me manage my hair loss,” raved one mother.
Kitsch satin hair scrunchie for women, for softer hair than silk scrunchie
Amazon
These satin hair scrunchies prove that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to fight hair loss. My second daughter also has a scrunchie similar to this one, so I borrowed some to see how much of a difference it made to her hair at night. Since then, I’ve noticed that my hair breaks less because I don’t pull or tug at it while I sleep. Plus, there are no more dents in my hair.
A two-pack is just $9, but you can get 20% off when you add an on-site coupon.
Kitsch satin heatless curling set
Amazon
Six months ago, I decided to use less curling irons and more heatless curl headbands, and it paid off. I love kitschy satin scrunchies, so I chose this brand’s heatless curling set. My curls look like they were curled with a curling iron, and I feel more confident in my hair style.
Available in 14 colors and patterns, each pack sells for as low as $15.
