Off the pill
Nobody warned you about this part.
Stopping, starting or switching birth control can set off a shed a few months later. Here's why, and a simple routine while your body adjusts.

Sound familiar?
A few months after the change.
-
It started a few months after you stopped or switched.
-
Your part looks wider than it used to.
-
More hair in the brush, while your cycle finds its rhythm.
What's going on
Your body is recalibrating.
Hormonal birth control steadies the hormones that set your hair's rhythm. When you stop, start or switch, your body recalibrates, and hairs can shed together a few months later.
It's usually temporary while your body adjusts.
Worth knowing
- Give it about three months before you judge your hair.
- Whether to go back on the pill is a choice for you and your doctor, not your hair.
- Still heavy six months after the change? Worth a check-up.

Questions
Should I go back on the pill?
That's a decision for you and your doctor, based on more than your hair. Shedding after a change is usually temporary.
Does a hormonal IUD count?
It can. Any change in hormonal birth control can shift the timing of shedding.
I'm trying for a baby. Can I use it?
Safe to use while you're trying to conceive, during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
When will I notice a difference?
Hair answers in months, not days. A resting hair takes about three months to shed and be replaced, which is why the guarantee runs for 90 days. Results vary from person to person.
