What Is Hormonal Hair?

by dani gay

WHAT IS HORMONAL HAIR? “Hormonal hair is a change in your hair both on your head and/or on your body that has been caused through a number of factors, including: hormonal imbalance caused by pregnancy or ageing, a result of medical issues like emotional stress and mental health trauma, food and diet, fatigue, Covid-19 and many other related issues. It is not isolated as a gender specific issue as it affects both men, women and non-binary people.”

WHAT CAN WE DO TO COMBAT THESE CHANGES? “Integrative doctors and naturopaths are going to be your best friends. They look at a holistic view of your wellness and can run a series of blood tests that are more acutely skewed to assess where your body is at. From a preventative measure, I recommend supplementation to my clients to increase their vitality. My most trusted product is Aedé Wellness, a supplement created by hairdresser Ruth Robolino who experienced hair loss herself.”

WHAT'S THE FIRST STEP WE SHOULD TAKE WHEN WE NOTICE CHANGES? “I would immediately book an appointment with a medical or health practitioner that feels right for you. You might find comfort in your GP or you might prefer to see an expert in alternate fields such as Chinese Medicine, Naturopathy or Integrative Medicine. Rest assured there is amazing support available and you can change the direction of your hair. I’ve seen it first-hand with my clients, with some amazing outcomes.”
