Maneva Rosemary & Batana Scalp Serum — Postpartum Hair

Three oils. Three different jobs. One bottle.

Postpartum shedding isn't pattern baldness, and it isn't DHT. During pregnancy high estrogen held onto almost every hair you'd normally have shed. When you gave birth estrogen crashed, every one of those hairs got the same signal at once, and about three months later they all let go together. You're not losing extra hair — you're losing nine months of it in a few weeks.

Because they all went to rest together, they're all ready to restart together. That's a window, roughly months four to twelve, and it doesn't come twice.

What's in it

• Rosemary oil — wakes the resting root. The one ingredient here with a human trial behind it, working on the follicle rather than on a hormone.
• Batana oil — feeds it. Cold-pressed from the Honduran palm, rich in vitamin E and natural emollients.
• Black castor oil — shields new growth. Postpartum regrowth comes in short and fragile and stays that way for close to a year; castor coats the strand so it doesn't snap before it blends.
• Plus seven more cold-pressed plant oils in a light, fast-absorbing base.

What's not in it

No minoxidil. No finasteride. No saw palmetto or red clover. No hormones, and nothing to swallow. Ten plant oils, applied to the scalp.

How to use

On a dry scalp, part your hair, apply a few drops along the part, and massage in for about sixty seconds. Once a day. Nothing to rinse out.

One 30ml bottle is about one month. The window is three.
