Did you know that washing your hair more often doesn’t make the scalp produce more oil?

Ultimately your hormones are what dictates sebum (oil) production with:

Androgens ⬆️ oil production
Estrogens ⬇️ oil production

You washing your hair or not will make no difference to the production of oil.

BUT the longer we leave it between washes the more sebum will accumulate.
Excessive oil can disrupt the scalp pH and microbiome. So my advice is the wash your hair and scalp frequently to avoid oil build up and scalp problems

If you have been diagnosed with autoimmune hair loss, there’s one thing by that can make a huge difference for you right now~ reducing stress 💥!

Seriously. You need to prioritise yourself. 🫵

You need to find a way to reduce, or, at the very least, compensate for the stress you are experiencing.

Some ideas are:
- meditation 🧘‍♀️
- Walks in nature 🌳 without devices 📱
- Nice, long, warm baths 🛀
- Yoga
- Guided breathing exercises 😮‍💨

Reducing stress will ultimately help to reduce the inflammation that underpins these conditions.

🤱Postpartum hair loss

☝️Typically, post-partum hair loss starts about 3 months after giving birth and the hair ‘shedding’ carries on for around 3 months.

💊 This type of hair loss is self correcting ~ no supplements or product will make any difference to this hair falling out or not.

⭐️If it has been more than 6 months since you had your baby, and you are still experiencing hair loss, this requires further investigation with a Trichologist. At this point in time, it is not likely that childbirth is still causing your hair loss.

All my friends in their 30s have hair loss- why?

This is an impossible question to answer without having seen and consulted with all of these people

Why?

Because ‘Hair loss’ is not ONE thing….

1. There are many different types of hair loss, which present differently and have different causes

2. And the same TYPE of hair loss can have completely different underlying cause in one person Vs another:

Eg hair loss of the same diagnosis, that appears to look the same, could be triggered by iron deficiency in one person, influenza in another, an environmental exposure in another, the passing of a loved one in another, having a baby in another… and so on

Hair loss is complex~ this is why the profession of Trichology exists!

If you are experiencing an itchy scalp accompanied by hair loss- this could be a good time seek the advice of a Certified Trichologist.

Sometimes it can relate to types of cicatricial (scarring) hair loss. This hair loss is permanent- so the earlier it is recognised and diagnosed by a Trichologist, the better the outcome.

For personalised advice, you can make a booking with Chelcey Salinger at her Trichology clinic in Sydney or Adelaide, book via website.

When experiencing hair loss…. Just notice what your self-talk is like…

Turn it around to be positive. Treat yourself like a good friend. And find joy in your life whilst dealing with the hair loss.

Managing this is all part of your hair loss journey.

Psoriasis is an autoimmune skin condition
With scaling and flaking of the scalp
Itch/ discomfort 😖
It can affect the skin anywhere in the body- but the scalp is a very common place for it to occur.

It’s can impact a person’s self esteem. Sometimes the discomfort from the condition will even disrupt people’s sleep. 😴

I find it one of the most satisfying conditions to treat because it can have such a significant effect on a person’s quality of life. 😊

There are a variety of treatments available. I take a holistic and multifaceted approach to treating psoriasis- which I think is the key to successful treatment.

I have written my first book!
Along with Dr Lucas Fustinoni, I am very proud to present: the Trichologist’s Handbook.

We will be launching a new book at the World Trichology Conference in New York in August.

this book is special because it is written specially for Trichologists - hair loss and scalp experts.

The aim of this book is to give you the latest information on the most common hair and scalp problems that trichologists see, including the medical and non-medical therapies. In connection with these problems, we discuss diet, immune privilege, vitamin D, inflammation, oxidative stress, the sympathetic nervous system and the hair bulge, amongst many other factors. There are also chapters on laser therapy, blood tests, and trichologists as expert witnesses.

The book is 128 pages with many photos.

If you’re not attending the conference, you can pre-order the book via the IAT’s website
