Hair loss
Hair loss encompasses various conditions with different causes, progressions, and treatments. Telogen effluvium involves temporary synchronised shedding triggered by stress; androgenetic alopecia causes progressive follicle miniaturisation. Other forms include alopecia areata (autoimmune), nutritional deficiency-related loss, and more.
Accurate diagnosis matters because treatments differ dramatically. Telogen effluvium typically resolves naturally; androgenetic alopecia requires ongoing management. Nutritional deficiencies need supplementation; autoimmune conditions require medical intervention.
Our hair health content helps clients understand different hair loss patterns. Recognising when shedding represents temporary stress response versus progressive condition helps guide appropriate responses and expectations.
