A special thanks to Vegamour for sponsoring this post.
After Gabriel was born, my hair started to break, feel extremely dry, and eventually, began to fall out leaving chunks missing at the front of my hairline. Shedding is a normal and unfortunate part of the postpartum journey, but it seemed to be more than a normal amount, which left me feeling uncomfortable in my own skin and I knew something had to change.
Two months ago, I discovered Vegamour, a vegan and holistic hair wellness company specializing in healthy and naturally beautiful hair. They were so kind to send me The Everything Kit to test-- it's a complete hair wellness routine for those with dry, thinning hair. I was so excited to begin transforming my hair postpartum. For me, it was more than a new hair care routine. It was about feeling good and healing--both internally and externally.
My hair felt lifeless and dry, and for the first time ever, I was experiencing an extremely dry, irritated, and itchy scalp. After the first use, I noticed my hair and scalp felt cleaner. The kit features a Scalp Detoxifying Serum that helps remove scalp buildup and soothe your scalp and I believe this played a huge role in my hair recovery journey.
In the kit of course there's Shampoo and Conditioner, but it's the ingredients that make them far above the rest. I wash my hair every 4-5 days, but with this new routine, I could go a full week without feeling like I need to wash my hair. This is game-changing--especially in the chaos of motherhood. The shampoo and conditioner utilize vegan keratin to help add hydration and a gorgeous shine. Peptides and caffeine are infused to help stimulate and nourish the scalp, while biotin helps to strengthen the hair to reduce breakage. These ingredients combined truly help to revitalize your hair and it's all without artificial colorants and silicones. The conditioner has a hydrating blend of oils and botanical ingredients that hydrate, restore, and nourish.
Every couple of washes, I trade out the conditioner for the Deep Moisture Repair Mask to give my hair an intense treatment in just five minutes. My hair feels extra silky and smooth, is less frizzy, and I'm obsessed with the way it makes my hair smell!
After washing, I used to dread brushing my hair. It would take forever due to an abundance of knots and tangles. This would result in chunks of hair ripping out. But now, my hair is so much easier to maintain and brush. I no longer feel like I'm ripping out my hair to simply brush it. The Leave-In Conditioner helps to detangle making brushing effortless. When using I've noticed my hair is less frizzy and my natural curl has started to take shape again!! On the days I'm embracing my natural curl, if I feel like it needs a little refreshing, I'll spray my hair and give it a little scrunch to revitalize it. This leave-in also doubles as a heat protectant which is a must-have!
When it comes to nourishing and stimulating your scalp to promote hair growth, the Hair Serum plays a vital role. It's a non-greasy formula that quickly absorbs, so you can use it on wet or dry hair. I use it every night and I find that because it absorbs so quickly, it doesn't ruin my hairstyle--whether it's naturally curly or I have curled it with my wand.
It's no secret that biotin is crucial for the health of your hair, skin, and nails. That's why it's so popular in so many beauty products and vitamins. Vegamour has vegan biotin gummies made with clean ingredients and tastes absolutely delish! Over the past couple of months, I alternated between these gummies and my Postnatal vitamins to ensure I had the proper vitamins needed for my final days of breastfeeding. Now that I'm completely done breastfeeding, I've been solely taking the Vegamour gummies.
The last essential in the Everything Kit is Dry Shampoo. It's what every mama loves for those in between hair wash days. I love that it absorbs excess oils and odors and gives a much-needed boost in volume for an effortless style.
I am truly in love with Vegamour and forever thankful for what it's done to my hair and my confidence postpartum. My balding patches have started to fill back in and my hair is growing faster than ever before. My hair feels silky smooth, looks and feels thicker, and I've noticed dramatically less shedding. I'll be sharing on Instagram as I continue my postpartum hair recovery journey, so be sure to follow along!
