There are a few things trichologist see on repeat and sometimes they scare us 😱 Not because they’re rare but because they’re avoidable.
1. Hair growth shampoos -
They don’t pe*****te deep enough into the to follicle. At best, they support the scalp. At worst, they give false hope when the real issue progresses.
2. Hair loss medications without a diagnosis -
Medications have a place. But without understanding the *why* behind your hair loss, you’re guessing. And guessing may cost you time, your health, and long-term results.
3. “My doctor said my levels are fine” -
This is fine for general health, however not optimal for hair loss and hair regrowth. hair is a non-essential tissue. It is the first to miss out when your body is running low.
4. High-dose biotin -
More is not better. Excess Bioton can interfere with blood test results, imbalance levels, interact with certain medications and cause other issues.
5. Nutrient robbers -
This is a common one many people miss. Certain foods or even combinations of foods we love to eat can cause havoc. Resulting in blocked absorption or depletion of specific nutrients we require for hair growth.
If you’re doing all the “right things”, but your hair still isn’t responding, this is where we look 👆 Our Food for Ferritin guide breaks down exactly how to support iron levels through food, and what might be getting in the way because hair growth starts long before the scalp.
