I’m going, to be honest with you, sometimes postpartum recovery will suck! Like yesterday, when I washed my hair and found a ball of hair on the shower floor. Postpartum hair loss is one of the “after” effects of having a baby… like pushing out a 3.5kg baby from your vagina wasn’t enough! Okay, so I did not experience “normal” birth but I heard that is quite painful – especially if you have a med-free birth. A C-Section birth isn’t pain-free either. My point is that us moms have to deal with a lot during and after pregnancy.
Right now, it feels as if I am about to go bald.
There’s hair everywhere!
On my clothes, on the floor, on my pillow, on my baby, between his fingers … and you know… what happens when you wash your hair in the shower?! It ends up getting stuck in between your butt too. 😮
OMG…
Hair loss is one of those things that freaks me out even though that I know it is something completely normal after pregnancy.
The scary part is that it could last up to a year postpartum which is something that I don’t look forward to – because when it happens, I end up losing my self-confidence and develop a don’t care attitude towards styling my hair – mainly because I’m so afraid of losing more hair.
I am not new to postpartum hair loss as I’ve experienced it before but it never gets easier…
Every time it happens, I end up cutting my hair even though I really want my long hair back.
For the last 3 weeks, I’ve been losing hair like crazy… It’s so bad that I’ve been so scared to even comb my hair.
I run my fingers through my hair and get clumps of it coming out…
The sad reality is that you cannot really prevent this from happening but you can do something to deal with it.
How to deal with postpartum hair loss:
1. Use a good shampoo and conditioner.
I’m using Dove Intensive Repair which is the best solution in the core range for damaged hair which deeply nourishes and helps to repair even the most damaged hair.
Dove Nutritive Solutions is a unique range of hair care products that delivers beautiful hair through instant repair and progressive nourishment, so hair is healthier with every wash.
Each collection in the Dove Nutritive Solutions range not only moisturises and repairs the surface damage caused by daily grooming, hair styling, colouring and chemical treatments but also nourishes and restores hair from within, wash after wash. Dove uses Nutri Keratin Actives that work immediately to repair the hair surface while deeply nourishing the core of your hair to reconstruct it from within and make it healthier in the long-run.
Daily Moisture: protects normal hair from the daily wear and tear of life and nourishes it to make hair softer and 5x smoother*
* Shampoo & Conditioner vs. non-conditioning shampoo
Colour Care: is designed to provide progressive nourishment to coloured hair and nourishes hair to keep colour vibrant for up to 10 weeks*
* Shampoo & Conditioner vs. non-conditioning shampoo
Nourishing Oil Care: treats frizzy and unruly hair, by progressively nourishing hair at the deepest level, smoothing up to 100% of roughness and controlling frizz*.
* Shampoo & Conditioner vs. non-conditioning shampoo
2. Take a vitamin daily.
3. Try a new hairstyle.
4. Take a break from your hair dryer and other hot styling tools.
5. Follow a healthy diet.
6. Massage your hair with oil – I love Amla Oil.
7. Do not use hot water to wash your hair. Use lukewarm or cool water.
8. Avoid the usage of braids and other tight hairstyles which cause excessive pulling.
They say try not to stress when you are shedding hair but I don’t know if that is possible with 3 kids. 😉
Please tell me that I’m not the only one going through this right now…

You should try Trichotin Hair Regenesis supplements. A few people with PP hair loss have had good results.

Copper scrap crushing During the Roman and Medieval times, copper smelting was a major source of pollution that had a lasting impact on the environment and human health. This is evidenced by recent research that found traces of ancient copper smelting pollution in Greenland ice cores dating back to the 1st century AD. The study, published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology, analyzed ice cores from two locations in Greenland – the NorthGrip and NEEM sites. The ice cores contained layers of sulfur and copper pollution that could be traced back to specific periods of history. According to the study, copper smelting pollution was most prevalent during the Roman and Medieval periods. During these times, copper was a highly valued metal used in various industries, including coin minting, architecture, and weaponry. The smelting process involved heating copper ore, which produced large amounts of sulfur dioxide gas and other pollutants that were released into the air. These pollutants were carried by the wind and eventually settled in the ice sheets of Greenland. The study found that the levels of copper and sulfur pollution in the ice cores were highest during the Roman and Medieval periods, and then declined gradually over time. The impact of copper smelting pollution on the environment and human health was significant. The study notes that sulfur dioxide can cause respiratory problems, especially in those with pre-existing conditions such as asthma. Copper pollution can also lead to neurological and cardiovascular problems, as well as damage to the liver and kidneys. The study provides evidence that ancient copper smelting pollution had a lasting impact on the environment. The researchers note that the decline of copper smelting pollution in Greenland ice cores occurred around the time of the Industrial Revolution, which saw a shift towards cleaner energy sources and improved environmental practices. Overall, the study highlights the importance of understanding the historical impact of human activities on the environment, and the need to continue to strive towards sustainable practices and cleaner technologies Scrap metal reclaiming and repurposing Scrap copper sales and marketing Copper scrap recovery and reuse Copper scrap industry insights Copper scrap material recovery Scrap metal reprocessing depot
Industrial copper recycling solutions Nitrogen oxides (NOx), including nitrogen dioxide (NO2), are harmful air pollutants that can cause respiratory problems and contribute to acid rain and ozone depletion. Therefore, reducing NOx emissions is a crucial environmental challenge. One promising approach is to use metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), porous materials made of metal ions and organic ligands, as catalysts for NOx reduction. Recently, a group of researchers reported a highly efficient catalyst for NO2 reduction based on an MOF containing atomically dispersed copper (Cu) sites. The researchers synthesized the MOF, called Cu-MOF-74, using a solvothermal method and then activated it by heating it in air. This process created Cu sites that were uniformly dispersed and active for catalysis. The researchers tested the Cu-MOF-74 as a catalyst for NO2 reduction at elevated temperatures (180–400°C) and in the presence of hydrogen (H2). They found that the Cu-MOF-74 catalyst exhibited high activity and selectivity for NO2 reduction, with a maximum conversion of 99.5% at 300°C. In addition, the catalyst showed excellent stability during cycling tests. To understand the mechanism of NO2 reduction on the Cu-MOF-74 catalyst, the researchers used various characterization techniques, including X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. They found that the Cu sites in the MOF promoted dissociation of NO2 into nitrogen monoxide (NO) and oxygen (O2), and then facilitated the reduction of NO to nitrogen (N2) with H2 as the reducing agent. Overall, the study demonstrated the potential of using atomically dispersed Cu sites in MOFs as highly efficient catalysts for NO2 reduction. This approach could be used to develop new catalysts for other environmental and industrial applications Scrap metal commerce Sell copper scrap Copper scrap volume forecasting Copper scrap material sourcing Copper scrap transportation logistics Scrap metal refabrication
