Indeed, stopping the use of hormonal contraception may be associated with an intensification of the hair loss process. This is an individual matter. However, most often women observe increased hair loss after about 4-8 weeks after stopping contraceptive use. This process can take up to several months. Additional supplementation is not necessary during this period, because the rate of hair loss returns to normal spontaneously. First of all, it is worth taking care of a well-balanced diet, rich in vitamins and minerals. If we are not able to provide all the necessary ingredients along with the daily diet, we can help with dietary supplements containing ingredients that have a positive effect on hair. It may also be beneficial to use rubs and conditioners that stimulate hair growth. Below is a link to a page containing examples of dietary supplements and dermocosmetics supporting hair growth: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/kategorie/wypadanie-wlosow The above page allows you to compare the prices of individual products in pharmacies and buy the selected preparation online. I also recommend the analysis of selected preparations for hair, skin and nails: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jakie-witaminy-na-wlosy-skore-i-paznokcie-wybrac-analiza

TO @Dorota: Herbs that have a positive effect on the growth and condition of hair are, m.in. nettle, horsetail, burdock, fenugreek, rosemary or black turnip. In pharmacies you can buy without a prescription, for example, nettle or horsetail for brewing and drinking. Here you can compare the prices of this type of products in online pharmacies and order the preparation with home delivery or collection at the pharmacy, e.g. https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/85840/zielnik-apteczny-pokrzywa-fix-liscie/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/44607/lisc-pokrzywy-liscie/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/85844/zielnik-apteczny-skrzyp-fix-ziele/apteki Usually, the use of herbs alone may not be enough, and the effects of using herbs require their regular intake. Perhaps it is worth implementing a preparation with biotin, omega acids, etc. These products are in the form of capsules and can be purchased in pharmacies, also on-line with delivery, e.g. https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/39968/kerabione-kapsulki/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/97260/biotynox-forte-tabletki/apteki More here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/kategorie/wlosy-skora-paznokcie

And would you recommend any of the herbs to drink when discontinuing birth control pills?

User questions and answers that provide feedback about products are not verified for the purchase or use of the product. Companies often order anonymous comments to form positive opinions about their products, or negative ones about competitors. Therefore, be guided by the information in the pharmacists' responses in the first place.
