The BIG Baby Expo at Mid Valley Exhibition Centre (April 30 – May 3, 2026) draws thousands of new and expecting mothers from across Klang Valley. While you're comparing breast pumps and baby carriers, there's a postpartum health issue that gets almost zero floor space at any baby expo: your scalp.
The Hair Loss Nobody Warns You About
If your baby is anywhere from a few weeks to nine months old, there is a statistically high chance — between 40% and 90% — that you are currently losing hair at a rate you've never experienced before. Clumps in the shower. Pillow covered in strands. A hairbrush that looks like a small animal.
This is called telogen effluvium — a temporary, hormonal form of postpartum hair loss. During pregnancy, elevated estrogen keeps hair in active growth. After delivery, estrogen crashes and all those retained hairs shed simultaneously, typically peaking at 3–4 months postpartum.

What a Head Spa Can Do That No Baby Expo Product Can
Scalp massage increases blood flow to the dermal papilla — the command centre of each hair follicle. This delivers nutrients and oxygen directly where follicle recovery happens. At TTE Headspa, our postpartum scalp protocol uses botanical serums safe for breastfeeding, LED therapy to stimulate follicle metabolism, and lymphatic drainage massage to reduce scalp inflammation.
Many mothers tell us it is the first hour of genuine rest they've had since giving birth. That, too, is clinically significant — sleep deprivation elevates cortisol, which extends the shedding phase.
