Hair Loss & Scalp Health FAQs

Hair can fall out when your body is stressed.
This can be from illness, stress, hormones, weight loss, poor sleep, or low vitamins.
The hair usually falls out months after the trigger, which is why it feels sudden.

Yes.
Most people lose 50–100 hairs a day.
If you see clumps, thinning, or wider parts, that is different and worth checking.

“Normal” does not mean optimal for hair.
Hair needs more oxygen, nutrients, and calm signals than most organs.
You can feel fine and still lose hair.

Yes.
Stress sends a message to the hair roots to let go early.
This is very common and very real.

Sometimes the trigger never fully resolved.
Sometimes the scalp stays inflamed or blood flow stays low.
Hair does not regrow unless the root environment improves.

No.
Genes play a role, but hormones, inflammation, stress, and circulation decide how strong that gene behaves.

That is a sign of inflammation around the hair root.
Inflamed roots grow weaker hair and shed sooner.

Yes, but only the right kind.
Your scalp is skin.
If the scalp is irritated, blocked, or dry, hair struggles to grow.

Hormones drop suddenly after birth.
Hair that stayed longer during pregnancy sheds together.
This is common and usually temporary, but the scalp still needs care.

PCOS can raise androgens and inflammation, both of which shrink hair roots.

Lower oestrogen means less support for hair growth and thickness.

Yes.
Stress, illness, inflammation, poor sleep, and hormones can all cause hair loss.

No.
Hair growth responds to evidence-based ingredients, not marketing words.
What matters is how it works on the root.

Minoxidil works while the scalp environment allows it to.
If inflammation, hormones, or stress are not addressed, results can fade.

Hair loss is personal.
Two people can have the same thinning but very different root causes.

No.
Hair growth responds to evidence-based ingredients, not marketing words.
What matters is how it works on the root.

Because hair grows from the root, not the ends.
Healthy scalp = better hair signals.

No.
Loose hairs fall when you wash, but they were already detached.

No.
Unless the hat is very tight and causes pulling or inflammation.

Diet helps, but it is rarely enough on its own.
Hair loss is usually multi-factorial.
