Women's Hair Loss
The Regrow magic
Why am I losing my hair? My crowning glory! We know it’s hard for men to lose their hair, but for women it can be devastating. According to a survey by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, up to 80% of women will experience some form of hair loss in their lives.
Why are you losing your hair?
Don’t worry, we are here to help you work out why you are losing it, and how to get it back, and maybe even better than before. There can be a number of different reasons why you are losing your hair, from hormonal issues such as postpartum, thyroid, menopause, and genetics through to medical and just about everything in between. To work out YOUR why, read below and hopefully we can shed some light on it for you.
How does Regrow work?
Many women see positive results when using Regrow as part of a consistent hair care routine, especially when they start early. Our products are made with naturally inspired, scientifically researched ingredients you can read more about them here.
Everyone’s hair journey is unique, and results can vary. In some cases, it may be helpful to speak with your doctor to better understand the cause of your hair changes and explore all available options.
If you have areas of scalp where hair hasn’t been present for some time, or where the skin appears smooth and shiny, specialist advice such as from a hair restoration professional may be beneficial. Regrow can still be part of your routine to help keep your scalp and existing hair in great condition.
Why is my hair falling out?
On the whole, there are a lot of reasons why your hair is falling out, but it all comes down to two main factors:
DHT and poor blood circulation to the hair follicles.
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is made from testosterone by an enzyme called 5-alpha-reductase (5AR) which latches onto the base of your follicle and constantly grows. As it grows, your follicle shrinks eventually making the hair fall out. Regrow aims to stunt the growth of DHT by using high grade Saw Palmetto and Caffeine which are known DHT blockers. Regrow=1, DHT=0. Winning!
Hair follicles are nourished by your blood, so if you have poor circulation to your scalp your hair isn’t getting the goodies it needs, and like any of us deprived of our favourite meal it loses the will to live and moves on. This is where our powerhouse team of Biotin and Niacin come to the rescue. We apply it straight to the scalp, not through your body with harmful medication. Conclusion, hungry shrunken hair follicles don’t stick around for long.
What are the different types of hair loss?
Keep reading below to see which form of hair loss you may be experiencing.
You’re not alone — many women experience changes in hair thickness due to genetics. This type of thinning can be influenced by a hormone called DHT, which may become more active with age or during life stages such as pregnancy or menopause.
Over time, this can make hair appear finer and more delicate. The good news is that noticing early changes means you can take steps to care for your scalp and help keep your hair looking fuller, stronger, and healthier for longer.
Traction alopecia can happen when hair is under regular strain from tight styles, harsh treatments, or heavy extensions. Over time, this can make strands more delicate. The best first step is to ease the tension — give your hair a break, choose gentler products, and let it rest in its natural state so it can look and feel healthier.
This is a rapid shedding of hair caused by major stress in the body such as surgery, extreme weight loss, anaemia or having a baby. You may want to have a chat to your doctor just to make sure everything is ok and that it isn’t caused by something more serious. Once diagnosed properly, this is considered a temporary condition. We still recommend using our REGROW products, so the new hair comes through stronger and faster.
Anagen Effluvium is a rapid form of hair shedding that happens during the active growth phase of the hair cycle. It can be triggered by certain medical treatments, medications, or health conditions.
In many cases, hair begins to grow back a few months after the cause has been resolved. While this process takes time, caring for your scalp and hair during recovery can help keep it looking and feeling its best.
