As much as we try to keep our cool, moms know that hair can unfortunately deeply reflect the chaos of parenthood. Whether that’s postpartum, stress, perimenopause, or just the daily demands of life getting to us, it’s likely showing up in some sort of hair shed. And while we are also guilty of deprioritizing our self-care and putting ourselves last, here’s some good news: Wellness brand, Hers, has made it so simple to get the right treatment option to help your hair regrow in as little as three to six months.* The process is simple: Take their online hair quiz, and a licensed medical provider will determine if treatment is right for you, and what that regimen looks like. It could include taking a supplement or using one of their potent serum, or both, like their Vitamin + Minoxidil combo which includes taking a supplement that infuses biotin, vitamin C, B5 and B6 and coupling it with a hair serum spray. From there, you’ll get free delivery of your new hair regimen, if prescribed. Once you experience hair regrowth, the only thing left will be to figure out just how to get your child to stop pulling on your thicker ponytail…Good luck.

Last night, my 7-year-old informed me that she really liked the personal style of Sharpay, the villain of the 2006 classic High School Musical 2, which could best be described as “early aughts YM fever dream.” My point is that the fashions of the youth are completely mysterious, especially to their parents. Fortunately, we have experts for that! Consult this piece, so you don’t find yourself in an Old Navy being called “washed” by your child, or whatever they’re saying these days.
