Topical products can support your hair - but they don’t create healthy hair on their own.
Real hair health starts inside the body. One of the biggest internal foundations for strong, resilient hair is protein.
Hair is literally made of protein. So when a strand sheds and your body needs to grow a new one, it can only do that if you’re consistently giving it the building blocks it needs - usually around 80g or more of protein per day.
If the raw materials aren’t there, the hair simply can’t rebuild.
And this is why you can’t “over-protein” your own hair from within - but you absolutely can underfuel it, or miss out on hydration and balance.
Protein isn’t the only piece of the puzzle, but it’s a big one. And for many people, this simple shift alone can make a noticeable difference to shedding, strength, and overall hair health.
If you’re unsure whether your hair loss is coming from nutrition, hormones, stress, or something else entirely, that’s where personalised support really matters. My consultations look at the full picture - not just the hair you can see.
