SOFTNESS YOU FEEL, STRENGTH YOU SEE

Yes, you can. But the type of extension matters.

After pregnancy, hair can feel weaker or shed more than usual, so it’s important to avoid anything that adds tension to the scalp, such as bonded, glued or tape-in extensions. These can place extra strain on fragile roots. Clip-in extensions are a gentler option, as you control when you wear them and can give your hair regular breaks.

Many women find this flexibility reassuring in the months after birth, when routines are already changing. Phoenix Crown extensions are designed with narrow, lightweight flexi-wefts that sit comfortably and blend seamlessly, so they feel like a supportive boost.

The best choice for postpartum hair loss is clip-in extensions made from high-quality human hair. Why? These give you instant coverage and fullness without long-term commitment or extra damage.

For postpartum changes, smaller pieces designed for targeted areas (such as the temples, sides or crown) are especially helpful, since these are the places where shedding shows most. Virgin hair extensions are also preferable to synthetic, as they look natural, last longer and can be styled just like your own hair.

At Phoenix Crown, we offer discreet, lightweight options to restore balance and softness exactly where you need it, helping you feel like yourself while your natural growth recovers.

Cutting your hair won’t stop postpartum shedding, because the cause is hormonal rather than related to hair length. However, a good haircut can make a big difference to how your hair looks and feels while you wait for it to grow back. Trimming away thinner ends can give the impression of thicker, healthier hair, and a shorter style can reduce tangling and breakage.

Many women also find that a fresh cut is an emotional lift, helping them feel more polished at a time when life can feel anything but. If you’d still like the option of longer hair, extensions can bridge the gap - restoring volume and shape while your natural growth returns.

Most women notice shedding around the temples and hairline, where the hair is naturally finer, and at the crown, where reduced density can make styles look flatter. Some also experience more general thinning across the scalp, particularly three to four months after giving birth, when hormone levels stabilise. This is usually temporary, with regrowth starting within 6–12 months.

In the meantime, clip-in extensions can be used to restore balance - adding fullness at the temples, softening the hairline, or lifting flat roots at the crown. Phoenix Crown offers discreet solutions for each of these areas, designed to blend effortlessly with your own hair while staying gentle on fragile strands.
