Are you worried about Hair Loss?

If you’ve noticed a significant increase in hair loss, this is when you should start to pay attention.

However, there are lots of things that can cause hair loss and most of them are fixable, so you shouldn’t be too worried. Read our latest blog to find out more . . .

One of the biggest triggers is stress, so worrying about it is really frustrating because it compounds the problem.

After a very tough 2020 I feel this has become an increasing concern for many of my clients.

Certain deficiencies like low iron can also cause hair loss and significant weight gain or weight loss can also affect your hair growth.

Hormonal imbalances, peri-menopause , post menopause, poor diet, pregnancy and post pregnancy are a few things in life that impact our hair growth and shedding due to the changes in hormones.

Collagen protects the layer of skin that contains hair roots, it may help prevent age-related hair loss and thinning.

Collagen may promote healthy hair in a variety of ways.

For one, your body may be able to use the amino acids in collagen to build hair proteins and strengthen the skin that contains your hair roots. It may also prevent hair follicle damage.

I have had a thyroid condition for many years and anytime my thyroid is out of balance, I can definitely tell straight away because I notice it in my hair. I have always used hair extensions not just for length but to camouflage how thin my hair has been over the years.

If you’re noticing a significant hair-loss difference, definitely go and see your doctor, and ask for some blood tests to see if you can pinpoint the issue.

Of course, there are conditions that can’t necessarily be treated or cured, like alopecia, which can cause significant hair loss.

If you’re noticing hair loss, the first thing to do is not panic and know that you’re not alone. More than half of women are affected by hair loss, so just start by monitoring the situation and if you see it getting worse, please see your doctor.

I hope this has helped either calm any fears or concerns you’ve been having about this issue or at least I’ve been able to point you in the right direction.

And as always, if you have any questions about hair loss, please don’t hesitate to ask your stylist .

There are many ranges of products that claim to prevent hair loss. Get advice for the right ones for you. The wrong product can be detrimental to weak hair and follicles.

I have a few favourites that I use myself.

After more than ten years of trying to find the right product for myself; Kerastace launched their new range “Genesis” range at the beginning of 2020! Thank goodness! I use the entire range; shampoo, conditioner and heat protector.

I absolutely love it! The proof is definitely in the pudding!

Kerastace Genesis is composed of specially selected ingredients to help reduce the problem of hair fall. Not only does the range work to reduce hair-fall due to breakage, but it also ensures that your hair looks and smells fabulous!

Take control of your hair health today, and combat hair fall for good.

Stay safe, love Marcia (Salon Manager)
