How I’ve Navigated Hair Loss After Surgery
Back in June, I had a total hysterectomy. I knew hair loss (telogen effluvium) was inevitable post-op, so I really focused on not just scalp health but babying my hair ends, too. If you’ve also experienced surgery, or other health challenges, you may be able to relate. I wanted to share some products I personally use and love, in case they’re of some help! Hair loss is no fun, y’all.
A roundup of some haircare products I use regularly:
➡️ Rejuveniqe Oil treatments scalp to ends 1-2 times a week. It uses a blend of 13 plant and essential oils to strengthen hair, improve shine and reduce frizz.
➡️ Intense Repair thickening treatment + shampoo to reduce hair loss. It’s infused with rosemary oil, peppermint oil, capixyl, crodasorb (a vegan UV protectant) and pea extract to strengthen and thicken hair and increase density.
➡️ IR Clinical Hair Thinning Defense Serum. I use this 1-2 times a day, applied directly to my scalp and massaged in. It contains caffeine and melatonin, which have been extensively studied for scalp and follicular health, decreases excess hair fall by 92% and immediately reduces breakage.
➡️ Super Moisture Masque (in-shower) weekly. My hair and skin tend to be much drier in the fall and winter months, and dry hair is very prone to breakage. I use this masque once a week to keep moisture and hydration at an optimal range.
If any of this interests you, I’ve been using these haircare products for seven years and would love to help get you started, too! ❤️

I honestly don’t even know what my hair would look like today without this scalp serum. A few months after my hysterectomy, the post-op hair fall started, and it hasn’t stopped yet! 😅
The amount of hair in my shower, on the floor, stuck to my clothes, in my brush. And it would be *completely* freaking me out if 1. I didn’t know why it was happening and 2. I didn’t have a product to help.
This hair thinning defense serum was formulated in partnership with the University of Miami, and I’m so thrilled with how well it’s been working for me!
What makes it so amazing?
// 𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻 (proven to facilitate faster scalp hair growth by extending the growth phase of hair follicles)
// 𝗰𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗲 (can help promote hair growth straight from the root in the initial phases of hair growth. It does this through targeting DHT, a hormone which causes hair loss)
// 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘅𝘆𝗹 (to help strengthen, thicken, & increase density)
// 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 (to help provide soothing benefits to scalp)
Our scalp needs intentional care, and using a scalp serum is a great start. DM me to get started or to learn more.
