Over the last few months, I’ve been experiencing pretty intense hair loss. Every time I brush my hair or run my fingers through it, some comes out. Not entirely sure why. I’ve gained some weight and I’ve def been more stressed than normal but all my hormones have come back “normal” with my endocrinologist. I’d love to get some insight. I’d also love any tricks of the trade.
Thanks!
xoxo

I’ve been experiencing this too. It’s definitely unsettling. But it makes me feel a little better that I’m not the only one.

I did some research and realized my hair loss might be related to my vitamin D levels. With the pandemic, I’ve definitely been spending a lot more time indoors. Starting a vitamin D supplement to see if that helps. Will send updates in a few weeks!

Have you had COVID recently? COVID can cause telogen effluvium type of hair shedding. Apparently it resolves in 6-9 months. There are options I’ve heard of people getting (injections) to help as well. A few friends have had this.

I had the same hair loss problem and I got consulted with a doctor through telehealth Ongo Care. I am better now with applying all my doctor’s advice. I suggest you consult a Trichologist and describe your problem. Try out the solution which your doctor suggests. According to my doctor’s advice, I take a healthy diet and drink a lot of water with my finasteride tablet. Also 3-4 times a week, I apply oil for 2-3 hours and wash it with lukewarm water. I experienced an improvement in my hair growth and a reduction in hair loss once I started it. If you have long hair, do not tie up your hair because it will put a lot of pressure on the top part of the head. If you try out these things, be patient and don’t expect the results too quickly.

Have you tried using a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner? Sometimes harsh chemicals can worsen hair loss.

<span data-sheets-root=”1″>That’s an excellent suggestion! Gentle, sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners can make a big difference, especially for people dealing with hair loss or scalp sensitivity. Sulfates, while effective at removing oils and dirt, can sometimes strip the scalp and hair of natural moisture, leading to dryness and irritation. This dryness can worsen hair breakage and create an unhealthy scalp environment that’s not ideal for hair growth.
Switching to a sulfate-free formula often helps maintain the scalp’s natural oils, keeping it hydrated and less prone to irritation. Many sulfate-free products are also free of other harsh ingredients, making them more suitable for fragile or thinning hair. For someone experiencing hair loss, pairing a gentle cleanser with a scalp-care routine (like regular scalp massages or treatments to improve circulation) could be beneficial as part of a comprehensive approach to hair health.</span>

Stress and weight gain can definitely play a role, even if your hormone levels are normal. Sometimes, it’s a combination of factors that contribute to hair loss.
One trick of the trade that I’ve found helpful is using organic batana oil. It’s natural and can help nourish your scalp and hair follicles, promoting healthier hair growth. It might be worth giving it a try to see if it makes a difference for you.
In the meantime, try not to stress too much about it (easier said than done, I know!). Focus on taking care of yourself and your overall health, and hopefully, you’ll start to see some improvement. -
