Becoming a mum is one of the most magical times in our lives and with it comes plenty of surprises. Our best hairdressers in Brisbane are experts in managing pre and post-pregnancy hair, not just cuts, styles and colours and here we guide you through a few key things to consider.
Pregnancy can change your hair quite dramatically- some women will experience incredible hair growth but for others, hair can become lank and oily and, in many cases, start thinning. To prevent this, the team at Rokstar can create a personalised hair treatment plan which may involve a switch-up in shampoo, conditioner and at-home hair treatments.
It is always important to let us know you are pregnant when you are considering colouring your hair so that we can use the right products and techniques. It’s smart to be concerned about increased sensitivity and so in most cases we recommend L’Oreal Professionnel INOA colour which is ammonia-free. If you are still feeling cautious consider opting for highlights or balayage instead, but our team will talk you through all the options.
Regular trims are highly recommended as hair during pregnancy can experience more dryness during pregnancy making split and broken ends much more prevalent and Rokstar provides the best haircuts in the West End. Also, try to minimise brushing hair when wet and overuse heat stylers as these can both encourage damage and hair loss.
If your hair is feeling a little dull and lacklustre, an intensive moisture boost can help it to regain or improve its natural texture so we can advise you on some of the most nourishing treatments like the Kerastase Nutritive Masquintense for Dry Hair.
Try to book an appointment just before your due date so we can make sure your hair is prepped and ready for the first few months. We have both salons open and are working to our safest maximum capacity but this means that spaces are still limited. If you have any questions or concerns at all, our team is here for you.
Always remember that our friendly team has you covered for all of your hair needs and we will use only the most trusted and gentle products and techniques as you prepare to welcome this new life into the world.
