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

Conclusion

Hair loss doesn't have to be a permanent condition. With the right approach, such as CENTRED's comprehensive hair care routine, it's possible to mitigate the effects of thinning hair and prevent hair loss in the first place as often hair loss can be avoided. By supporting the body both internally and externally, CENTRED aims to rejuvenate not just your hair, but also your confidence.

It is important to note that when starting a hair care protocol such as The Inside Out Method™ that consistency is key. A 3 month minium term of supplementing and regular scalp treatments and scalp massage is key to allow enough time for supporting the hair growth cycle and best results come from continuing long term for 6-12 months and beyond.
