It's the question we get asked more than any other. And it doesn't have one answer.
Stress. The kind that shows up three months after the hard season is already over, because that's how hair shedding works. It's delayed. So the timing rarely makes sense to the person going through it. These causes can look similar from the outside, but they don't always require the same approach. That's why we begin by looking closely at the scalp.
GLP-1 medications. Rapid changes to the body, including fast weight loss, can trigger shedding that has nothing to do with your hair care routine and everything to do with what's happening internally. These causes can look similar from the outside, but they don't always require the same approach. That's why we begin by looking closely at the scalp.
Postpartum. Hormones spend nine months in one state and then shift hard and fast. The shedding that follows is common, but common doesn't mean it should be ignored or brushed off as just something you deal with. These causes can look similar from the outside, but they don't always require the same approach. That's why we begin by looking closely at the scalp.
Hormones. Beyond postpartum, thyroid changes, birth control changes, perimenopause. Hair is often the first place the body tells on itself. These causes can look similar from the outside, but they don't always require the same approach. That's why we begin by looking closely at the scalp.
Illness. Recovering from something, even something minor like a bad flu or a fever, can trigger shedding weeks later. Your body was busy surviving. Hair growth wasn't the priority. These causes can look similar from the outside, but they don't always require the same approach. That's why we begin by looking closely at the scalp.
Nutrient deficiencies. Iron, vitamin D, protein. What's on your plate and what your body is actually absorbing are not always the same thing. These causes can look similar from the outside, but they don't always require the same approach. That's why we begin by looking closely at the scalp.
Seasonal shedding. Yes, it's real, and yes, it happens to almost everyone in the fall. But seasonal shedding and something more serious can look identical if you're just guessing from the mirror. These causes can look similar from the outside, but they don't always require the same approach. That's why we begin by looking closely at the scalp.
Six different causes. Six different women asking the exact same question. And every single one of them needs a different answer, not a generic bottle off a shelf.
If your hair has been falling out and you don't know why, that's exactly what a Hair Recovery Consultation is for.
