A CHANGE IN YOUR NORMAL

When does shedding need attention?

You know your own hair routine. When the amount in your brush or shower seems different, it is understandable to want an explanation. Start with that change, rather than comparing your hair with someone else’s.

Start with your own pattern.

Washing and brushing can make loose hairs more noticeable. Rather than comparing yourself with someone else, consider whether there has been a persistent change from your usual pattern.

Look at the wider picture.

Think about when the change started, recent illness or stress, changes in weight and any scalp symptoms. These details are useful for a medical appointment.

Get the cause checked.

If shedding worries you, speak to your GP. Sudden or patchy loss, pain or scalp inflammation should be assessed before choosing a cosmetic clinic treatment.

Choose the next step with information.

A clear explanation of the cause can help you understand whether treatment is needed and which options are worth considering. No commercial treatment is suitable for every cause.
