Everything you need to know about hair loss
Marie Nieuwoudt, a Group Education Manager at
What are the common causes of hair loss?
Marie explained: "There are so many reasons why someone may face hair loss.
"The number one reason is usually hormonal changes or underlying health conditions (like thyroid conditions), and stress of
course also plays a big part in changes to your hair health.
"But another very common day-to-day cause is excessive damage to your hair created by mistakes in your styling routines – and this a
big one to be aware of for people who are regularly applying heat to their hair!
"It's important to know the right temperature for your hair type when using styling tools, as this is essential in reducing unintentional heat damage.
"I also see a lot of people facing hair loss resulting from hereditary conditions, which are passed down from generation to generation."
What are the best hairstyles people should try to reduce their hair loss?
According to Marie: "Less is more when it comes to hair loss! It's important to be gentle with your hair, so a low-maintenance style that limits pulling on your scalp will be your best option.
"Putting your hair up in a tight ponytail or adding hair clips can cause stress points at the roots.
"Instead, try leaving your hair down, or out.
"You're not limited in your options, but it pays to be intentional with your hair styling. Using tools which limit damage to your hair is vital.
"Discussing your concerns with a hairdresser or hair loss specialist is also a great way to find styles that suit your specific needs, whilst still making sure you look and feel your best."
How long does it take for hair loss to stop?
If you're itching to know when your hair will grow back, Marie confirmed: "Hair loss is a personal journey – and it's different for everyone, so it's very difficult to put exact timings on this process.
"Every head of hair is unique, and so too is your hair loss experience.
"As always, you can speak to a professional hairdresser or trichologist about your specific concerns and hair changes, and they'll be able to help you manage those expectations.
"I can't emphasise enough how important it is to be kind to your hair. Most people treat their hair quite roughly, and this is something you definitely want to avoid when dealing with hair loss in particular.
"Make sure you're choosing products and styling routines that you know are good for your hair, rather than causing additional damage."
Another added: 'Great results!'
A third commented: 'Yaayyy! Will definitely give these a try.'
