I Had a Baby in March. Here Are 5 Things Nobody Told Me About My Hair.

Sound familiar?

  • Your hair feels like straw from the ends to about halfway up
  • There is a halo of short flyaways around your hairline that will not lie down
  • It tangles the second it dries, and you do not have ten minutes to fight it
  • You are using whatever is in the shower because you have not had a spare thought for your hair in months
  • You used to have a routine and you cannot remember what was in it

If you nodded at two or more, keep reading.

1. Your hair is not the same hair it was.

Pregnancy hormones change how your hair behaves, and after birth it changes again. The texture, the dryness, the way it holds a style, all of it shifts. Most women go looking for what they did before and find it does not work anymore. You are not doing anything wrong. The hair is different.

2. The flyaways at your hairline are new growth, not damage.

That halo of short hairs is one of the most common things new moms notice, and it is the most fixable thing on this list. Short regrowth sticks up because it is dry and has nothing holding it down. Hydration and a light smoothing product lay it flat without crunch.

3. The dryness is real, and it is at the ends.

Your ends have been through pregnancy, a hospital bag, and six months of being tied up. That is where the straw feeling lives. A weekly mask on the mid-lengths and ends does more than anything you can do at the root.

4. You do not need a ten-step routine. You need three things that work.

This is why we made the Deep Hydration Set rather than selling you six bottles. Shampoo, conditioner, mask. That is the routine. It is designed to be doable in the time you actually have, which is not very much.

5. I am in it right now.

I founded this company and I have two kids under three. I am writing this seven months postpartum with the same flyaways you have. My father-in-law, Frank, formulated HydrApple Complex after 50+ years behind the chair, and I relaunched it because I could not find anything that worked on real hair in a real life. This is the set I use.

What we are not going to tell you

We are not going to tell you this stops postpartum shedding. Nothing you put on your hair can do that, and anyone who says otherwise is selling you something. Shedding after birth is hormonal and it settles on its own timeline.

What we can do is make the hair you have feel soft, manageable and like yours again while you wait it out.

What HydrApple Complex actually does

HydrApple Complex is the hydration system at the centre of every Quism formula. It draws moisture into the strand and helps it stay there, which is what lets the cuticle lie flat instead of lifting to grab humidity from the air.

It is the reason a Quism gel can hold your curl and soften your hair at the same time. Most gels only do one.

Questions

Use the FAQ section to answer your customers' most frequent questions.

Will this stop my hair falling out?

No, and we would not claim it does. Postpartum shedding is hormonal and resolves on its own. This set is about the condition and manageability of the hair you have.

How long does the routine take?

Shampoo and conditioner, normal shower time. The mask is ten minutes once a week, and you can leave it in while you do everything else.

Is it Canadian-made?

Yes. Formulated and made in Canada.

What if it does not work for me?

We'll give you your money back 100% guaranteed.

Soft, manageable hair. In the four minutes you actually have.
