Best Hair Oils for Blonde Hair Postpartum

After pregnancy, it’s completely normal to notice more hair in your brush than usual. Postpartum hair loss — or telogen effluvium — affects up to 50% of women, according to the American Academy of Dermatology. The hormonal shifts that occur after giving birth can cause more strands to enter the shedding phase, and for blondes, thinning can feel even more noticeable since lighter hair is naturally finer.

The good news? With the right care, you can strengthen your strands and support regrowth naturally.

1. Choose lightweight, non-greasy oils

During the postpartum phase, your scalp may produce more oil due to hormonal changes. Blonde hair, being lighter and more porous, can quickly look weighed down or dull if you use heavy oils.

Opt for lightweight, fast-absorbing oils that nourish without greasiness — like She’s Thick, a pre-shampoo treatment designed specifically for fine or lightened hair. It supports growth while protecting your colour and scalp.

2. Support your scalp for regrowth

Postpartum hair loss is temporary — and a healthy scalp can speed up recovery. Regular scalp massage increases blood flow to follicles, helping new hair grow stronger.

A study published in the Eplasty Journal found that consistent scalp massages increased hair thickness in nearly 70% of participants over 24 weeks. Using a nourishing oil during massage not only boosts circulation but also soothes any dryness or irritation caused by hormonal fluctuations.

3. Look for antioxidant-rich, colour-safe ingredients

Postpartum stress and sleep deprivation can increase oxidative stress in the body, which impacts both skin and hair. Oils rich in jojoba, rosemary, and camellia oil provide antioxidants that protect follicles and maintain the brightness of blonde tones.

4. Strengthen from root to tip with She’s Thick

Hormonal shifts often leave blonde hair feeling dry, fragile, and thin. She’s Thick was designed to counteract exactly that. 

Used as a pre-shampoo treatment, it nourishes the scalp and protects blonde hair during the vulnerable postpartum months. Regular use supports natural thickness and keeps your tone vibrant and brass-free.

5. Protect from further breakage

New baby, new routine — but try not to skip heat protection. Hair is often more fragile postpartum, especially if you’ve lightened it. A 2021 study in the International Journal of Trichology confirmed that frequent heat styling reduces hair strength and elasticity, particularly in chemically treated hair.

Postpartum hair changes are temporary — and with a gentle, blonde-friendly routine, your strands will bounce back stronger than ever.
