Vegamour review: postpartum hair loss meets plant-based patience

What brought me to Vegamour

After my second baby, my hair started falling out in clumps around month four postpartum. I'm talking handfuls in the shower, a literal nest in my hairbrush every morning. As an L&D nurse, I knew this was normal—I've counseled dozens of patients through it—but knowing the science doesn't make it less horrifying when it's your own hairline receding.

I wanted something gentle since I was still breastfeeding, which ruled out minoxidil. A friend mentioned Vegamour's GRO Hair Serum, and honestly, I was skeptical. Plant-based anything sounds nice in theory, but I've seen enough "botanical miracle" products in my life to approach with caution.

What I actually tested

I started with just the GRO Hair Serum ($58 for a month's supply if you're diligent, closer to six weeks if you're not). The applicator tip makes it easy to section your hair and apply directly to your scalp. I used it every night before bed, which became part of my routine right after brushing my teeth.

The serum itself is lightweight and absorbs quickly. It doesn't smell like a science experiment, which matters when you're already exhausted and don't want one more thing making you feel medicinal.

Here's the thing about results

This is where I need to be real with y'all: nothing happened for weeks. I'm talking eight full weeks of applying this stuff nightly before I noticed anything. On a Tuesday morning in late September, I was pulling my hair back and actually saw baby hairs sprouting along my temples. Not thick growth, but definitely new hair where there'd been smooth scalp.

By week twelve, the shedding had slowed considerably. My brush wasn't collecting a small mammal's worth of hair anymore. The regrowth around my hairline was visible enough that my husband noticed without me pointing it out.

But here's what Vegamour can't do: it won't fix severe hormonal hair loss on its own. If you're dealing with thyroid issues or significant nutritional deficiencies (which I see in postpartum patients all the time), you need to address those first. This serum works for the surface-level stuff, not systemic problems.

The money situation

Let's talk about the elephant in the room. At $58 per bottle, maintaining this routine costs nearly $700 a year. That's a lot of money, especially when you're budgeting for daycare and diapers. I justified it because it worked and because the vegan, plant-based formula felt safer while nursing, but I completely understand why someone would balk at that price tag.

There are subscription discounts that help, but you're still looking at a significant ongoing expense for something that requires months of consistent use before you see results.

Would I buy it again?

I'm on my fourth bottle now, using it maybe four times a week instead of daily for maintenance. For postpartum hair loss or mild thinning, it genuinely works if you have the patience and budget for it.

The verdict: Vegamour delivers on regrowth if you can stomach the price and the glacial timeline, but manage your expectations and address any underlying health issues first.
