August marks ‘Hair Loss Awareness Month,’ an annual campaign that shines a light on the causes of hair loss, the impact it has on lives and the treatments and advice available.  

What causes hair loss? 

Hair loss can be attributed to numerous factors, including genetics, sensitivity to androgens, dietary deficiencies, illness, trauma, and stress. Conditions such as diabetes, circulatory disorders and hyperthyroidism are also contributing factors to hair loss. While it effects men and women of all ages, women may experience hair loss or hair thinning due to pregnancy and menopause.  

What are the effects of hair loss? 

Hair loss can spark many emotions in the sufferer including loss of confidence and feelings of isolation. ‘Hair Loss Awareness Month’ aims to bring this condition into the spotlight, breaking the stigma around hair loss and ensuring those affected know they are not alone. There are various resources, consultations, and over-the-counter products available to help manage hair loss.  

Who can I speak to about hair loss? 

Seeking professional advice is the first step. At HAIRHOUSE, we have qualified experts in every store to help you achieve your scalp and hair health goals. Head in-store for a free hair health consultation and introduction to our wide range of products designed to combat hair fall and hair thinning.  

A Trichologist, a specialist in hair and scalp health, can also provide in-depth assistance and act as the next step in treating your hair loss. They can help identify the root causes of hair loss and recommend treatments, including medication, lifestyle adjustments, or dietary changes.
