Hair PRP is everywhere right now… but is it actually worth it?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is often promoted as a solution for thinning hair, but the reality is more nuanced. While it may support follicle activity in early-stage hair loss, it is not a cure, and results can vary significantly.

As a consultant trichologist, Shuna’s approach is clear:
✔️ Accurate diagnosis comes first
✔️ Scalp health must be restored
✔️ Treatments should be appropriate, not just popular
PRP may have a role as a supportive treatment in specific cases, but it should never replace a thorough trichology consultation.
If you’re considering PRP, the most important first step is understanding why your hair loss is happening.

Are boar bristle brushes good for your hair? 🤔

Boar bristle brushes aren’t right for everyone; for many hair types, they can actually cause friction and breakage. Healthy hair starts with the right tools, not trends ✨

Can You Get an NHS Referral for a Trichologist?

No. You cannot be referred to a trichologist on the NHS.

Trichology sits outside the NHS framework and is considered specialist private hair and scalp care. While a GP can refer you to an NHS dermatologist for hair loss, there is no referral pathway for trichological consultations.
