I think everyone can agree that hair loss is decidedly Not. Fun. Whether it’s from postpartum hormones, illness, stress, or just the reality of aging, watching your formerly thick, luscious hair thin out in a dramatic way takes a serious emotional toll. I should know—in 2022, following a gut-wrenching breakup from a long-term partner, I watched roughly a pomeranian’s worth of hair go down the drain every time I showered. It got to the point where I didn’t want to wash my hair anymore because I was so afraid to lose even more chunks (which, as you can imagine, did a number on my mental health).
After a few months of this vicious cycle, I decided to kick my regrowth strategy into high gear and tackle the hair loss any way that I could. That meant visiting some hair loss experts for targeted solutions, swapping my usual shampoo and conditioner with follicle-stimulating formulas, and sticking with a consistent routine month after month after month—because nothing will happen if you’re spotty with your regrowth products. Just like having a diligent skincare routine will help you achieve an even-toned, glowy complexion, the work you put into your haircare routine will pay off in your search for thicker, fuller mane.
