Is Your Hair Telling You Something? Understanding and Addressing Female Hair Loss.

That feeling of seeing more hair in your brush than usual can be unsettling. For many women, hair loss is a deeply personal and often emotional experience, leaving us searching for answers and effective solutions. You're not alone.

It's crucial to first understand that a certain amount of shedding is perfectly normal – we typically lose up to 100 hairs a day as part of the natural hair growth cycle. However, when this number significantly increases, it can be a sign that something else is going on beneath the surface.

So, why does hair loss happen to women? The reasons can be varied and sometimes complex. Hormonal fluctuations, stress, underlying illnesses, nutritional deficiencies, and even lifestyle changes can all play a role.

According to wellness practitioner Nat Kringoudis, there’s been a significant rise in hair loss among women, especially since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. Stress, illness, and the changes in daily routines brought on by the pandemic have contributed to a startling 50–100% increase in hair loss for many women.

In her work, Nat emphasises how crucial it is to understand the connection between scalp health and hair vitality. Healthy, strong hair starts at the roots. A well-nourished, hydrated scalp is essential to promote hair growth and prevent further loss. In a recent episode of The Wellness Collective Podcast , Nat dives into this topic with our founder, Kay Orford,  offering insight into how to nurture your scalp for stronger hair.

One of the best ways to support your scalp and hair is by incorporating a product like the OiTO Scalp Elixir  into your routine. This powerful elixir helps hydrate and nourish the scalp, creating the ideal environment for hair growth. After following the 6-week OiTO program, Nat was amazed by the renewed shine and vitality in her hair, proving just how transformative a healthy scalp can be.

Another key product to consider is the Thermo Heat Protectant . This post-wash essential strengthens, smooths, and nourishes hair while offering protection from heat styling tools and UV damage. It can be applied to damp hair for added nourishment or to dry hair for a sleek finish and extra shine. This product works beautifully throughout the day, ensuring your hair stays protected and radiant.

More women than ever are experiencing hair loss, but with the right routine and products, it’s possible to support healthier, stronger hair. It’s time to prioritise scalp health and give your hair the care it deserves.
