Reactive / Postpartum Hair Loss
For post-stress, postpartum or seasonal shedding — helps calm the scalp and restore stronger growth.
Understanding Your Scalp Condition
Mechanism: Stress, illness, postpartum changes, or nutritional deficiencies can trigger a surge of hair follicles into the resting (telogen) phase, causing sudden shedding.
Why it persists: When scalp circulation and nutrient delivery aren't restored, follicles remain inactive and recovery slows.
What improves when treated: Targeted stimulation and nourishment help reactivate follicles, reduce shedding, and restore thicker, stronger hair over time.
Note: This page describes a care routine, not a medical diagnosis.
How This DSD Routine Works

Removes buildup and balances scalp oils after stress or hormonal shifts, helping follicles receive oxygen and nutrients again.
Soothe & Stimulate
Actives calm inflammation, improve scalp circulation, and reactivate resting follicles to shorten the shedding phase.
Nourish & Strengthen
Keratin, vitamins, and amino acids restore fibre strength, resilience, and healthy regrowth after temporary loss.

FAQs
Can I use this if I've just had a baby or experienced illness?
Yes — this routine is specifically designed for temporary shedding caused by stress, illness, or postpartum changes. Always check with your healthcare provider if breastfeeding.
Is this safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Most DSD formulas are cosmetic-grade and safe, but we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before beginning active treatments during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Can I use this with coloured hair?
Yes. All DSD de Luxe formulations are safe for colour-treated hair. Apply the peeling to the scalp only, avoiding freshly coloured lengths for 48 hours.
How long until shedding stops?
Most reactive shedding calms within 8–12 weeks of consistent use, though full regrowth and density can take 4+ months.
