When it comes to hair care, the science behind what’s happening to our strands and scalp can be both fascinating and, at times, overwhelming. If you're dealing with hair thinning, scalp discomfort, or even hair loss, knowing what is happening with your hair can be the first step to finding a solution that truly works for you.
As a training trichologist, I'm always diving into the latest in hair and scalp science, and I’m excited to share some insights with you. I want you to understand not only what’s happening to your hair but also how we can address common concerns with the right treatments and solutions without all the confusion or technical jargon.
Understanding Common Hair and Scalp Issues
Before we dive into potential solutions, it’s important to highlight some common issues many of us face with our hair and scalp:
-
Alopecia: Whether it’s alopecia areata (patchy hair loss), androgenetic alopecia, or early-stage thinning, hair can often grow back with the right procedures and consistent care. However, in cases of scarring alopecia where the follicles are permanently damaged, regrowth may not be possible without a transplant. What’s most important is early identification and tailored intervention to support scalp health and preserve as much growth potential as possible.

-
Postpartum Hair Loss: Many women experience hair shedding after pregnancy, a common condition known as postpartum hair loss. It typically happens 2–3 months after childbirth or even longer if you breastfeed or take certain prenatal vitamins and is usually temporary.
-
Chemotherapy-Induced Hair Loss (Chemo): For cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, hair loss is a common side effect. Understanding the best way to support the scalp during this time is crucial for recovery.
-
Diffuse Hair Loss: This condition involves thinning across the scalp and can be caused by hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, or stress.
-
Telogen Effluvium: Often caused by stress or a traumatic event, telogen effluvium results in widespread thinning of hair and can last for several months.
These are all challenges that many of us face, but the good news is, solutions exist.
How We Address Your Hair and Scalp Concerns
At our salon, we take a holistic, personalized approach to treating your hair and scalp concerns. Here are some of the key services we offer that address these issues at the root:
-
Hair Therapy
This isn’t just a treatment; it’s a restoration process. For clients dealing with damaged hair, dry strands, or lackluster shine, our hair therapy services focus on nourishing and restoring the strength of each strand. Think of it as a wellness treatment because healthy hair begins with a healthy scalp. -
Hair-Loss Therapy
While hair loss can feel overwhelming, especially when it’s tied to conditions like alopecia, postpartum hair loss, or chemotherapy-induced hair loss, we offer targeted hair-loss therapy to help stimulate scalp health and support hair regrowth. Through customized treatments that focus on improving circulation and nourishing the scalp, we help our clients feel more confident in their hair health journey. -
Hair and Scalp Assessments
This is an essential first step in understanding your hair’s specific needs. During your initial consultation or whenever you return after 16 weeks, we perform a comprehensive scalp assessment to evaluate things like oil production, follicle health, and any irritation or buildup. This allows us to tailor our services and recommend the best treatments to help you reach your hair goals.
How to Identify Hair Loss Conditions
Sometimes, figuring out the cause of your hair loss can feel confusing. Here’s how you can differentiate between some common conditions:
-
Alopecia Areata: Typically causes small, round patches of hair loss. The hair loss appears suddenly and in clearly defined spots. The scalp underneath is usually smooth with no irritation.
-
Postpartum Hair Loss: Usually starts a few months after delivery. It is often diffuse, meaning it affects the entire scalp rather than isolated patches. While this can be worrying, it typically resolves after a few months as hormone levels stabilize.
-
Telogen Effluvium: This type of hair loss is often caused by physical or emotional stress. It leads to thinning across the scalp, and the hair feels weaker overall. The shedding happens about 2–3 months after the stressful event.
If you're not sure which condition you’re dealing with, don't worry, a hair and scalp assessment with a trained professional is the best way to get clarity on what’s going on and how we can support you through it.
