Your Hair Doesn’t Look or Feel Like It Used To.

Maybe you’ve noticed more hair in the shower or clumps coming away in your hands on wash day. Your edges might look less full, or your favourite style just doesn’t sit the way it used to.

You’ve spent years getting to know your hair, so these changes can leave you wondering what’s happening — and what your hair needs now.

Do These Changes Feel Familiar?

More Shedding 01

More Shedding

Understanding What's Behind Your Hair loss

If these signs feel familiar, you may be wondering whether to change your products, your styling habits or your whole routine.

The next step is understanding what may be behind the changes. Hair shedding, thinning and breakage can look similar, but they don’t always need the same kind of support.

If Your Hair is Changing, Your Care Should Change With It

If Your Hair is Changing, Your Care Should Change With It

Noticing your hair becoming thinner can leave you wondering why. Hormonal changes, genetics, stress, tight hairstyles and certain health conditions can all play a part. Understanding the cause can help you find care that better meets your needs.

What’s happening beneath the surface?

Hormonal changes around menopause, including falling oestrogen levels, can affect your hair’s growth cycle. Genetics and sensitivity to androgens, such as DHT, may also contribute to gradual thinning in some women, although their role in female hair loss is still being understood

Thrive Triple Action Hair Growth Serum offers a dedicated scalp-care step in your routine, with ingredients including saw palmetto and niacinamide.

If your hair loss is sudden, patchy or accompanied by scalp pain, speak to our Trichologist to understand the cause.
