Introduction to Hair Loss
Hair loss is a widespread issue affecting both men and women, manifesting in various forms and intensities. It can significantly impact one's self-esteem and quality of life. Understanding the types and causes of hair loss is crucial in tackling this sensitive issue effectively.
Types of Hair Loss
For Men: The most prevalent type of hair loss in men is androgenic alopecia, commonly known as male pattern baldness. It's characterised by a receding hairline and thinning at the crown, largely due to genetics and hormonal changes.

For Women: Women typically experience female pattern hair loss, which doesn't always lead to complete baldness but is evident as overall thinning. Other forms, like telogen effluvium, occur when stress, diet, or hormonal changes prompt hair follicles to prematurely enter the resting phase of the hair growth cycle. Alopecia areata, another type, involves patchy hair loss and can be triggered by autoimmune responses.
Causes of Hair Loss
Several factors contribute to hair loss, including genetics, hormonal imbalances, ageing, nutritional deficiencies, and stress. Lifestyle factors such as harsh haircare practices and underlying medical conditions can also trigger hair thinning and loss.
If you are concerned about hair loss you are experiencing we always advise booking an appointment with your GP for a blood test to check for any nutrient deficiencies or underlying health concerns as this is a great place to start in identifying the potential trigger of your excess hair shedding.

The Importance of Early Intervention
Addressing hair loss early on is crucial for effective management. By understanding the signs and taking prompt action with treatments like those offered by CENTRED, individuals can significantly improve their hair's health and appearance.
What about hair loss due to Menopause?
Menopause often triggers hair loss due to hormonal fluctuations, particularly the reduction in oestrogen and progesterone levels. These hormones help hair grow faster and stay on the head longer before shedding. When their levels drop during menopause, hair growth slows and shedding increases, often resulting in noticeable thinning.
Menopause-Related Hair Loss: Understanding and Managing
Hormonal Shifts and Their Impact
During menopause, the decreased production of oestrogen and progesterone can lead to a more dominant presence of androgens (male hormones), which can cause the hair follicles to shrink, resulting in hair loss.
Other Contributing Factors
Besides hormonal changes, other factors like stress, nutritional deficiencies, and changes in metabolism during menopause can exacerbate hair thinning.
How CENTRED Can Help
CENTRED addresses menopausal hair loss through a holistic approach tailored to the unique needs of women experiencing hormonal changes:
Tender Love and Hair™ Menopause Support Supplements: Specifically designed for menopausal women, these supplements contain key ingredients like: maca extract and ashwagandha provide hormone-balancing effects and stress reduction, while antioxidants and vitamins support hair follicle health blood flow and scalp nourishment.
Conclusion
Hair loss doesn't have to be a permanent condition.
