Men seem to get all the attention when it comes to hair loss, but here is a statistic that might surprise you: by age 50, up to 40% of women will experience noticeable thinning. 📊
It doesn't always look like a receding hairline or a bald patch either. For us women, it usually sneaks up on us—maybe you’ve noticed your parting looks a bit wider, or your ponytail suddenly feels a lot lighter. 👱♀️💥
When sudden shedding happens, it’s often because your hair follicles have been given a bit of a shock. In the science world, we call this telogen effluvium. Essentially, a stressor tells your lovely growing hairs to suddenly hit the "pause" button and go to sleep all at once. Instead of losing the normal 100 hairs a day, you could be losing up to 300! 📉💤
Tracey and I see this happen all the time due to everyday life events:
• Big life changes (like childbirth) 👶
• Nutrient dips (like low iron or Vitamin D) 🥩☀️
• Body stress (like crash diets or high fevers) 🌡️
• Hormonal shifts (like menopause or PCOS) 🦋
The good news? Once we find out exactly what has shocked your system, we can work on waking those sleepy follicles back up. You do not have to just accept it, darlings. 🤍
