Hair Loss 101

Why Does Hair Loss Happen?
Hair loss can be influenced by so many factors, from genetics and hormone changes to lifestyle choices.
Stress, diet, and even hair care habits can all impact hair strength.
It's perfectly normal to lose some hair each day, but sometimes the body can shed more than usual, responding to things like hormonal shifts or even life stressors.
Why It Happens More This Time of Year
Have you ever noticed your hair seems to shed more in autumn? That's seasonal shedding!
During summer, we hold onto extra hair to protect our scalp from the sun.
As the weather cools, it's like our body recalibrates and lets go of those extra strands.
Dry, cooler air can also make hair more brittle, making it easier to lose a little extra volume during these months.
Hacks and Affordable Buys to Treat Hair loss
The great news? You don't need to spend a fortune on pricey treatments to support your hair.
Try daily scalp massages—they're so simple but really help boost blood flow to the follicles.
Castor oil is another fantastic, budget-friendly option that's rich in nutrients to strengthen your strands.
Adding a bit more protein to your diet and a biotin supplement can also work wonders for overall hair health.
Products to Avoid
Steer clear of products with high levels of alcohol, sulphates, and parabens - they can be drying and damage hair over time.
Heat styling and chemical treatments can also cause breakage, so try to use them sparingly.
Instead, look for gentle, hydrating formulas to support your scalp and keep hair healthier through the seasons.
According to Holly, who posts under the username @
To give the thinning mane a chance to recover, the young beauty used the shampoo two to three times every week, she said in
''I really make sure to massage in for like two minutes,'' said Holly, who was never given any answers or an explanation behind her hair loss.

''I went to the doctors, everything was normal [...]. I tried rosemary oil and all hair supplements, biotin - everything - and nothing ever worked for me.
''This is the only thing that helped,'' said Holly, adding that she'd recommend the shampoo more than the serum.
'I'm so happy for you, it looks great'
Since being shared online, Holly's amazing hair transformation has gone viral, winning the Irish lass close to a whopping 4million views, over 230k likes and 30k shares.
More than a staggering 700 people flooded to comments, where one shared their experience with the products.

''I'm so happy for you, it looks great,'' someone else was amazed by the makeover.
However, not everyone's a fan of the products, as one claimed they've noticed no difference since using it.

Oscar winner signs up to star in new series about infamous Irish-American gang
The show is set to begin filming this summer Oscar winner J.K. Simmons has signed up to star in a brand new TV series about infamous Irish-American gang The Westies. From the co-creator of Godfather of Harlem, Narcos, and Narcos: Mexico, Chris Brancato, The Westies is an eight-part series set in 1980s New York City. The show takes place when 'the construction of the Jacob Javitz Convention Centre on the Westies' home turf in Hell's Kitchen promises a financial windfall.' 'Despite being outnumbered fifty-to-one by the Five Families of the Italian Mafia, the Westies' legendary brutality and cunning have given them the leverage necessary to share the spoils through a fragile détente,' the show synopsis continues. JK Simmons (Getty Images) News in 90 Seconds - May 30th 'But internal conflict between the brash younger generation and the old-school leadership threatens to set a match to this powder keg, which will sweep the Westies into the FBI's ever-deepening investigation into the Italian mafia.' The show was created by Brancato and Michael Panes, who will both serve as executive producers. The series is set to begin filming in Toronto, Canada this July. J.K Simmons (70) is a multi-award-winning actor. His credits include Whiplash, Juno, Justice League, La La Land, and Red One. He is set to play the role of Eamon Sweeney – 'the charismatic but ruthless leader of The Westies whose old-school charm and neighborhood loyalty mask fierce criminal ambition and calculated brutality.' The Westies were a Manhattan-based Irish-American organised crime outfit. Their activities included racketeering, drug trafficking, burglary, illegal gambling, fraud, and carrying out contract killings. According to the NYPD, they're responsible for between 60 to 100 murders spanning 18 years from 1968 to 1986. The gang was founded in the 1960s and was led by James Coonan until he was jailed for 75 years in 1988.
