Holistic Hair Care Routine for Healthy Full Hair

Postpartum hair loss is something I vividly remember experiencing with my first child 20 years ago. This time, during my recent pregnancy, I anticipated the same, if not worse but to my surprise, I didn’t experience it at all. In fact, my hair became even fuller after giving birth. Now, 7 months postpartum, my hair is the healthiest it’s ever been—along with my lashes and brows.

I did notice a decline in my lashes during pregnancy, which was the opposite of my first experience, proving once again how hormones can affect everything and truly run the show. But now, my lashes, brows, and hair are thriving, thanks to a routine I followed to prepare for the possibility of postpartum hair loss. The main component of this routine has been The Golden Secrets Heal All Oil Hair Masks, which I apply once or twice a week the night before washing my hair. Below, I’m sharing the full breakdown of everything I do—and don’t do—that I believe contributed to bypassing the common challenges of postpartum hair loss.

1. Minimal Washing

I wash my hair only once a week. Overwashing strips the scalp of its natural oils, leading to dryness and breakage. Allowing your scalp’s natural oils to balance helps keep hair moisturized and healthy. If your hair feels too oily, try skipping washes for two weeks to allow your scalp to reset.

2. Natural Products Only

I stick to shampoos and conditioners free from sulfates, synthetic fragrances, and harsh chemicals. These gentle, natural products cleanse without disrupting the scalp’s ecosystem.

3. Weekly Hair Masks with Heal All Oil

Once or twice a week, I treat my hair to a Heal All Oil Hair Mask. I apply it the night before washing, focusing on massaging my scalp and working it through the ends then put it up in a top not for the night then wash it as usual in a.m. Heal All Oil encourages stronger, healthier hair, reduces hair loss, hydrates strands, enhances shine, and makes hair more manageable.

4. Nutrient-Dense Diet

Healthy hair starts from within, so I focus on a diet rich in:

  • Collagen for hair structure-providing necessary building blocks for strong hair
  • Gelatin rich in collagen and amino acids likr glycine, essential for building keratin
  • Liver for iron and vitamin A.
  • Fermented Cod Liver Oil 
  • Healthy fats, butter, eggs, raw milk, raw cheese, grass-fed beef, bone broth, and coconut oil.

5. Mineral Support with Silidyn

I supplement with Silidyn, which contains bioavailable Ortho Silicic Acid (OSA) along with MSM, manganese, zinc, boron, and selenium. These nutrients support collagen production, strong hair, healthy skin, and overall vitality.

6. Ensuring Optimal Iron and Copper Levels

I prioritize iron and copper in my diet based on thorough bloodwork, as these two minerals work synergistically. Copper plays a vital role in iron absorption, proper utilization within the body, and oxygen transport to essential areas, including hair follicles. To maintain this balance, I incorporate copper-rich foods such as liver, oysters, nuts, and seeds into my meals.

Iron, on the other hand, requires careful consideration. I only recommend supplementing iron if a complete iron panel blood test indicates a deficiency. During my pregnancy, I was borderline anemic, so I supplemented with iron strategically. To enhance absorption, I paired it with fresh orange juice (for vitamin C) while ensuring adequate intake of copper and retinol, both of which are crucial for proper iron metabolism.

While concerns about iron overload are common, it’s important to remember that iron is essential for energy production and overall vitality. Sufficient iron stores are especially critical during pregnancy. I firmly believe that maintaining this delicate nutrient balance contributed to a quicker postpartum recovery for me.

7. Scalp Stimulation with The Golden Secrets Sculpting Stone

Regular scalp massages stimulate blood flow to hair follicles, promoting nutrient delivery and growth. TGS Sculpting Stone has anti-aging therapeutic benefits that far exceed any other stone on the market. Its unique properties include Far infra-Red (FIR) waves and therapeutic ultrasound and an unrivaled value of around 3700 in generated ultrasonic pulses compared to other popular stones such as Jade stone at around 1843. The friction between the stone and your scalp produces these healing ultrasonic pulses, improving microcirculation for optimal heair health and growth.

8. Vitamins and Nutrients for Hair Growth

I started taking my prenatal vitamin as soon as we started trying and continue to take it now while breastfeeding, although I take it in lower doses than recommended just because I have such a nutrient dense diet and take organ supplements as well. Most of these vitamins and minerals are in my prenatal and the ones to look into to support hair growth.

  • Biotin (Vitamin B7): Enhances keratin structure. (Sources: Eggs, salmon, almonds)
  • Methyl B  Supports energy production, methylation and detoxification
  • Vitamin D: Supports follicle health. (Sources: Sunlight, fatty fish) alway take K2 when taking Vitamin D so it assimilates properly.
  • Vitamin E: Protects hair follicles from oxidative stress. (Sources: Almonds, avocados)
  • Vitamin C: Boosts collagen and iron absorption. (Sources: Citrus fruits, strawberries)
  • Zinc, Magnesium, and Selenium: Essential for scalp health and hair strength. (Sources: Pumpkin seeds, oysters, dark leafy greens, walnuts)
  • Collagen and Protein: Provide building blocks for hair growth. (Sources: Bone broth, eggs, fish skin)
  • Shilajit provides essential minerals, fulvic acid, and antioxidants that improve scalp health, enhance nutrient absorption, and promote stronger hair follicles.

9. Staying Hydrated

I stay well-hydrated, often adding a pinch of Jacobsen sea salt and electrolytes to my water to replenish electrolytes and support cellular hydration. These minerals improve water retention, restore balance, and reduce inflammation. I also love drinking herbal teas loaded with minerals and nutrients to support hair growth and overall  health. Some of my favorites are Nettle and Oat straw both high in silica and minerals, Raspberry Vitamins B, C & E), and Hibiscus (Vitamin C & amino acids).

10. Protecting Hair from Damage

I avoid heat styling, air-dry my hair 99% of the time, use silk scrunchies to minimize breakage and use heatless curlers. While I do highlight my hair, I limit it to every 4–6 months.

Consistency is Key

Patience and consistency are vital for hair growth. Combining proper nourishment, external care, and a healthy lifestyle is the foundation for vibrant, healthy hair.

Lastly, I’m excited to share some big news: I’ve been working on a natural, potent hair growth serum that’s currently in the testing phase. Our beta testers are already seeing miraculous results—better than popular but toxic options like Minoxidil. I’m aiming to launch it by mid to late next year, so stay tuned!
