Hair Loss Solutions

With a myriad of information at our fingertips it is sometimes hard to filter out exactly what is right for us and what is no good at all!

To ascertain the right path, you first need to identify if the reason for your hair loss concerns. Is it because your hair is breaking due to heat or chemical damage? It could be because of hardened collagen in your scalp. Below we break down a few of the root causes of hair loss and their solutions. Should you wish to come and talk to one of our Hair and Scalp Care experts – book in for a 15-minute consultation.

Falling Hair

Hair that is long and heavy can be prone to hair fall, as well as hair in the fourth stage of its life cycle – the Exogen Phase. A Healthy scalp will shed between 50 and 100 hairs a day which can build up in the absence of regular brushing – so investing in a decent hairbrush really is a must to keep your hair in tip top shape.

Should you notice more hair fall than normal, you should take advantage of our Kerastase Genesis Fusio Dose service which can reduce breakage by up to 95% when blow drying and will last in the hair for up to 12 washes. Infused with Edelweiss and Ginger as well as coupled with aminexil It’s a total game changer when it comes to hair fall.

Breaking Hair

Hair that is regularly put under stress from chemical and/or heat damage can really suffer and needs a very specific type of TLC. Speak with your hair stylist about the best course of action to help eliminate damaging elements from your haircare routine and couple with a Hair Care range rich in Glutamic Acid such as Davines Melu which is fortified with Villalba Lentil Seed Extract.

Thinning Hair

There are so many factors affecting our hair growth and loss journeys – be it diet, lack of exercise and sleep, stress and illness or hormonal imbalance.

Should you think your underlying cause is more medical oriented, the NHS has some great resources https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/hair-loss/

A nutrient rich, varied diet can do wonders for your hair growth (lots of oily fish, broccoli, bananas and nuts) as well as regular exercise and a good amount of sleep.  If you struggle to get good variance into your diet you can look to supplements but our Scalpcare expert Adam Bennett recommends “only using supplements with clinical data to back up their claims – Viviscal Pro have more clinical data than any other supplement on the market so you can be really sure you’re getting high grade supplements to support your busy lifestyle”

Your hairstylist may recommend a course of topical treatments – you can purchase minoxidil over the counter which helps to regulate the blood flow to follicles and can prolong the anlagen phase of the hairs life cycle which is the active growth phase of the hair. You may also like to couple this with a course of Aminexil which helps to prevent the hardening of collagen in the scalp which can cause hairs to grow through much more finely.

PRP (or platelet-rich plasma) is a more medical route to take when looking at your hairless options. A small sample of your own blood is taken and then from that your plasma is separated and in a very non inverse way injected into your areas of concern for a super-rich boost of the cells that may have a problem getting to your scalp on their own! This is always done by a qualified medical professional – we have first-hand experience, and the results really were impressive!  It’s recommended to have a course of three to six treatments with boosters every 6-9 months.
