We’ve all been there – you look at your brush after combing your hair or glance at the shower drain and notice more strands than usual.
“It’s nothing,” you tell yourself. “It’ll pass.”

But… what if it doesn’t?
What if that’s actually the first sign that your hair is under stress, and the roots are already weakening?

Hair loss isn’t always drastic – often, it’s a quiet warning.

Many forms of hair thinning start subtly:

• hair loses volume

• the parting becomes wider

• elasticity disappears

• more hair is left on your pillow or clothes

• split ends appear more quickly, even if you care for your lengths

At this stage, most people don’t react – it seems temporary. And often it is – but not always.

When does “harmless” become serious?

There are many causes of hair loss, and each requires a different approach:

• Seasonal effluvium (spring/autumn shedding)
  usually temporary, but with added stress can turn chronic

• Telogen effluvium (reaction to stress, illness, medication)
  can last for months after the trigger and develop into diffuse thinning

• Androgenetic alopecia (hereditary hair loss)
  often begins gradually and doesn’t cause alarm, but it’s progressive and requires ongoing care

• Seborrheic dermatitis, dandruff, oily scalp
  can damage follicles if not treated properly

What should you do when you notice a change?

• Pay attention to your scalp – not just your hair
  Redness, itching, flaking, tightness? These are signs the follicle is suffering.

• Track the shedding cycle
  Has it lasted more than 6 weeks? Start targeted treatment.

• Act in time
  Early intervention is key. Weakened hair can be restored – lost hair is much harder to recover.
