When you have a child, your body goes through so many changes, but hair loss is one of those things that nobody tells you about. Naya Rivera had a baby not too long ago and experienced post-partum hair loss, which is why she teamed up with NIOXIN, to help empower women to talk about hair loss, particularly the 59% of women who don’t know that giving birth can cause them to lose their hair.
“I’m excited to really help people — whether there’s a new mom out there who doesn’t understand why her hair has changed or started to thin or a woman who is constantly dealing with dry scalp (like I was) — there is a solution,” said Rivera in a statement.
One of the things that she likes about the product is that it’s natural and organic. While she was pregnant, she was introduced to the brand by her stylist, who told her it was safe to use while pregnant and breastfeeding. There are six different system kits, each for a different hair type and a wide array of products.
“I have naturally curly hair and growing up it was really thick and unmanageable,” she explains to Latina. “During and after my pregnancy I started to notice changes. I definitely didn’t get the luscious mane of hair that everyone said you’d get while I was pregnant. After giving birth, in combination with breastfeeding and major drop in hormones, I noticed thinning in certain areas at the front of my hairline and breakage at the ends of my hair.” Like most women, she wasn’t expecting hair loss and describes the experience as “scary.” She didn’t feel like herself and her confidence shuttered, that was until she started using the NIOXIN products.
She decided to be an ambassador with NIOXIN because it helped open up the conversation of hair loss after childbirth, something that many women don’t talk about. “There are so many women dealing with this but aren’t really sure what to do. In fact, 64% of new moms wish they had help finding products for post-partum hair loss. Talk to your stylist! They are the experts and can recommend the best regimen for you. Before I knew about NIOXIN, I was trying all kinds of DIY treatments like carrot seed oil, coconut oil treatments and even went back on prenatal vitamins. When I started using NIOXIN products, that’s when I really started seeing results. One of my favorite products to help protect against heat damage and breakage is NIOXIN Therm Activ Protector,” she explains.To learn more about her daily beauty routine, click here.
