If you’re experiencing hair thinning, a trichologist like me can help! 

If you’re noticing more hair in the drain, a thinner ponytail, or visible scalp, you might be experiencing hair loss. But you’re not alone, and it doesn’t have to be permanent.

A trichologist like myself provides a thorough scalp analysis to uncover the root cause, from health and lifestyle factors to diet. Then, we create a personalized, whole-body approach to address hair loss and support healthy growth.

Don’t wait for it to get worse! Let’s take action today for healthier, stronger, thicker hair.

Hair health isn’t something you can hack; it’s something you support over time with care, knowledge, and consistency. 

My goal as a trichologist is to make the science behind hair and scalp health accessible, so you can make informed choices that work with your body, not against it. Biohacking might be trending right now, but I don’t believe it holds the answers for long-term results. 

Hair is part of a larger ecosystem, one that includes your scalp, your lifestyle, your nutrition, your stress levels, and more. Let’s stop looking for shortcuts and start building a sustainable foundation for real, lasting hair health.

This month on the blog, we’re diving into a hot topic that’s been making waves in the wellness and beauty world: biohacking, but for your hair and scalp. 🧬

While the idea of hacking your way to thicker, healthier hair sounds tempting, the truth is a little more complex. ❎

As a trichologist, I believe real results come from understanding the full picture—your scalp, your body, your lifestyle, and your biology. Quick fixes might offer hope, but long-term hair health requires something deeper. 👩🏻‍⚕️🔬

📖 Head to the blog to learn why the future of hair care isn’t a hack, it’s holistic, and you need a whole-body approach.

Hair care is a reflection of your whole-body health. Your hair is deeply connected to your scalp, your hormones, your diet, your stress levels, your sleep, your genetics, and even the climate you live in. No shampoo or supplement can override all of that. 🧴💊

That’s why, as a trichologist, I don’t focus on what’s trending or what claims to work fast. I focus on what your body actually needs. Every scalp is different. Every lifestyle is different. Your hair story is unique, and it takes intentional, science-backed care to truly support it. 🔬🧬

In my latest blog, I’m breaking down what makes a shampoo truly trichology-approved—and why “biohacking” is often more hype than help. If you’ve been overwhelmed by hair care products, wondering what’s actually safe and effective for you, this blog is a must-read.

It's sooooooo frustrating when you have thin hair. I should know mine is very thin! 😏 As a Trichologist, I am always looking for topical treatments that have been dermatology tested, have clinical claims, and pure ingredients. I was interested in Pharma Hermetic due to the peptide technology they use. And I'm excited to share with you my results. Can you see the difference in my before and after images?

Your hair care needs are as unique as you are. The right shampoo for you depends on so much more than just what’s trending or making promises on results. It’s about the whole body, and finding a science-backed approach to your personal hair and scalp care. 

You’ve got to look at the full picture—your scalp health, your symptoms, your lifestyle—and create a plan that supports your body’s natural processes.

There are so many ingredients that can show up in your shampoo—surfactants, thickeners, humectants, conditioners, preservatives, botanicals, and more. And while some are helpful, others may not be right for your unique scalp and hair.

If you want to do more than just mask the problem, you have to know what’s in your products—and whether they’re working for you or against you.

Every scalp is different, and what works for one person may cause irritation or buildup for another.

That’s why understanding your hair, your scalp, and your body is the first step to making smarter choices.
