💸 How much money have you wasted trying to fix your hair loss?

The $150 serums, the hair-growth shampoos, the supplements… and then there’s the next miracle product promising thicker, fuller hair.

Sound familiar? 👀

Here’s the problem: If you don’t know WHY you’re losing your hair, how do you know what you should be treating?

As a trichologist, I see so many people who’ve spent hundreds, sometimes thousands, of dollars on products that were never going to address their particular type of hair loss.

Different types of hair loss require different approaches.

Sometimes the answer is medication. Sometimes it’s correcting a nutritional deficiency. And sometimes it’s simply knowing what you DON’T need to buy.

A proper diagnosis and a targeted treatment plan could actually save you money.

📍 I consult in Glenelg, Adelaide and Sydney. Appointments are available through the link in my bio.

POV: You’re a trichologist watching the hair supplement industry sell another miracle formula. 🧙‍♀️😂

A pinch of biotin, a dash of collagen, 17 exotic botanicals… and a SECRET proprietary blend. ✨

If only healthy hair came from a magic potion.

The less exciting truth? Good nutrition, correcting deficiencies, looking after your scalp and understanding what’s actually causing your hair loss.

Sometimes supplements are useful. But there is no magical ingredient that everyone needs.

The secret to healthy hair? Apparently, it involves a cauldron, 17 exotic ingredients and a little witchcraft. 🧙‍♀️🧪😂

If only it were that complicated!

As a trichologist, I wish there were a magic potion for healthy hair. But the reality is much less exciting.

Good nutrition, correcting deficiencies where they exist, looking after your scalp and minimising unnecessary hair damage are far more important than a mysterious “proprietary blend”.

And when it comes to hair loss, identifying the actual cause is essential. No amount of magic dust replaces a proper diagnosis.

Your hairdresser might notice changes in your hair before you do. ❤️

As a trichologist, I see so many patients who were encouraged to seek help by their hairdresser.

And it makes sense.

Your regular hairdresser knows your hair. They see your scalp up close, notice changes in density and can recognise when something looks different from your usual.

They don’t need to diagnose hair-loss conditions. But knowing when to recommend a professional assessment can make a real difference.

I have enormous respect for hairdressers who take their clients’ hair and scalp health seriously.

Tag a hairdresser who deserves some appreciation. ✂️

🚿 Does washing your hair too often cause hair loss?

One of the biggest misconceptions I hear as a trichologist!

Seeing hair in the shower can be alarming, but washing your hair doesn’t cause hair loss. You’re simply releasing hairs that were already at the end of their natural growth cycle.

In fact, avoiding washing out of fear of shedding can lead to a buildup of oil, dead skin cells and product residue, potentially contributing to scalp irritation.

My advice? Wash your hair as often as your scalp needs it.

And remember: washing your hair won’t cause hair loss, and avoiding washing won’t prevent it!

💬 Have you ever avoided washing your hair because you were worried about shedding?

Does your shampoo seem to stop working after a while? 🧴

It’s a common misconception that your hair can become immune to shampoo or other hair products.

The reality? Your hair’s needs can change due to factors such as climate, humidity, seasonal changes and even changes in your scalp condition.

So if your favourite shampoo isn’t giving you the same results anymore, it doesn’t necessarily mean the product has stopped working. It might simply be time to reassess what your hair needs!

💬 Have you ever felt like your shampoo suddenly stopped working?

“Sulfate-free” doesn’t automatically mean better for your hair or scalp 👀

I see patients who are so focused on avoiding sulfates that they forget what shampoo is actually meant to do: cleanse the scalp effectively.

Whether a shampoo is gentle, harsh or appropriate for you comes down to much more than whether the bottle says “sulfate-free”. The overall formulation matters.

And if you have a scalp condition, choosing a shampoo based on a marketing claim rather than what your scalp actually needs may not be helping.

A great chat with a hairdresser about one of the most persistent shampoo myths.

Which shampoo should you use for hair loss? 👀

Probably not the answer you were expecting, but for most types of hair loss, your shampoo isn’t your treatment.

I choose shampoo based on what the scalp needs, such as dandruff or excess oil, or for cosmetic reasons like cleansing, volume and how the hair feels.

So don’t choose a shampoo because the bottle promises to fix your hair loss. Choose it for your scalp and hair needs.
