Postpartum Shedding — What No One ExplainsDuring pregnancy, estrogen stays elevated.

That keeps your hair in the growth phase longer than usual.
After delivery, hormones shift.

All the hair that was “paused” moves into shedding at once.
It feels dramatic — but it’s biological.

Pre-order Grow That Hair, Sis by Yelena Stylz — a science-backed guide to hair growth, retention, postpartum shedding & traction awareness. Pre-sale $27.

  • Inside you’ll learn:

    • How the hair growth cycle really works
    • Why postpartum shedding feels sudden (and what’s normal)
    • How tight braids, rubber bands, and tension from childhood can affect follicles long-term
    • The difference between growth and retention
    • When to use protein vs. moisture
    • How porosity affects the products you choose
    • What blood tests to request (iron, vitamin D, thyroid, hormones)
    • Why hair is not a priority organ — and how that impacts growth
    • When to stop DIY and see a professional

    This is education you can apply immediately.

  • Why I Wrote ThisIn my chair at YSB Hair Care, I see the same patterns over and over:

    • Deep conditioning without heat
    • Protective styles installed too tight
    • Iron deficiency ignored
    • Products layered with no real cleansing plan.

      When we simplify the routine, reduce tension, correct deficiencies, and stay consistent — hair responds.

      Healthy hair isn’t random.
      It’s intentional.

  • In this book, I explain:

    • What’s normal
    • What’s excessive
    • What to avoid during this time
    • How to support regrowth safely
    • Why low-tension styling matters even more postpartum

      Education removes panic.

Alopecia & Tension Awareness, we also talk about traction alopecia.

Because tight braids don’t just affect adults.

I’ve seen thinning that started in childhood from:
-Tight ponytails
-Rubber bands
-Braids installed too small and too tight
-Consistent tension on fragile edges

Early awareness changes long-term outcomes.
