When experiencing a sudden onset of a hair shedding, or a noticeably thinner crown, panic sets in , and you immediately reach for all the lotions and potions that are advertised on the internet, on the shelves of every chemist and many more.

There are many different factors that can contribute to hair loss as we age, such as  Androgen Hormones , which is a  genetically predisposed condition, it causes prolongation of the resting phase (telogen ) and shortening of  the growing phase,( Anagen), which eventually over a period of time causes hair thinning and hair loss.

It is becoming common practice to see more patients present themselves to me at my clinic with what they feel is hair shedding, they feel their ponytails are getting thinner, they’re noticing more hair in the brush, plug and on the pillow.
