Are you noticing that since you’ve hit a certain age, your hair is losing that certain bounce and shine it had in your early twenties? Unfortunately, hair loss is more common in women than you’d expect. But don’t fear, in this blog, we will explore the common causes and what you can do to reclaim the hair you had at 21. Above all else, it’s important to understand and pinpoint the reason for your hair loss with your doctor, so then you can do something about it.

Reason 1

Step away from the crash diets and try to manage your stress levels as these are among the top causes of thinning hair. Incidents such as surgery or going through stressful periods at work can lead to temporary hair loss, but do not fear! Zinc supplements can work wonders and help strengthen the hairs you have. This will ensure your hair looks the best it can until the rest of your hair grows back which should typically take approximately six to 12 months.

Reason 2

You can’t change your genetics and you’ve guessed it, this is the leading cause of female hair loss. New York based dermatologist Neil Sadick, who specialises in hair loss recommends that the only topical treatment with evidence-based efficacy is minoxidil. There are a number of products on the market which contain this ingredient, so stick with it for a minimum of three months use on a daily basis and you should yield the results.

Reason 3

From menopause and pregnancy to birth control pills, hormonal changes can mess with your hair. Prescription drug spironolactone controls androgens and can help with normalising hair growth, or if you think it may be your birth control, it might be time to ask your doctor for an alternative.

Reason 4

Scalp inflammation is present in a majority of women with hair loss says Sadick and can wreak havoc with the condition of your hair. To combat this, he recommends coupling Rogaine with a prescription steroid solution.

It takes time and patience to give the hair treatments a chance to work, but it will be so worth it! If you are not keen on seeking help from your doctor or want to try something in the meantime while you are waiting for the doctor’s recommendations to work their magic, don’t forget that products such as mousse, volumising spray and thermal rollers can have a really positive impact. And, it goes without saying that leading a healthy diet can work wonders for helping your hair to grow.

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
