Hair loss is often linked to hormonal imbalance, thyroid dysfunction, insulin resistance, nutritional deficiencies, stress and inflammation.
This protocol is designed specifically for patients undergoing treatment for underlying conditions contributing to hair loss. We will reassess progress after 3 months to identify if treatment needs to be escalated.
It serves to prevent hair shedding, stimulate hair growth, and protect the hair shaft.
While this plan has been designed to wash every alternating day; it is important that the scalp doesn’t get oily/greasy. More frequent hair washing would be ideal in this case.
SIMPLE HAIR SUPPORT ROUTINE
Shampoo
This helps support scalp health, reduce breakage and improve the appearance of thinning hair.
Vichy Densi-Solutions Shampoo: Massage shampoo into the scalp and leave on for 5 minutes.
Kez Shampoo: Massage it into the scalp and let it sit for 5 minutes before rinsing.
Hair Thinning Serums
These serums help support hair density, strengthen the hair fibre and assist with excessive shedding.
Apply to the scalp once daily, and do not rinse.
Pre-Wash Oil (1–2x weekly)
The oil creates a protective barrier that shields your hair from the harsh effects of shampooing, helping it retain moisture so it does not become overly dry or brittle. It also acts as a lubricant, reducing friction and lowering the risk of damage while washing.
For thin / fine hair: OGX Coconut Oil, Lightweight Jojoba or Grapeseed Oil. Apply mainly to the ends of the hair for 20 – 30 minutes before washing
For thick / dry hair: OGX Coconut Oil, Argan Oil, or Rosemary Oil Blend. Apply to length and ends of the hair for 20 – 30 minutes before washing
Heat Protection
If you’re using heat styling tools regularly, use a heat protector spray to reduce breakage and further damage.
Recommended lightweight option:
- L’Oréal Paris Glycolic Gloss Core Spray Serum
To apply, section hair and ensure every strand is covered. Apply while hair is damp, and allow the spray to dry for a few minutes before using heat style tools.
Important Notes
- Hair regrowth takes time and consistency is important
- Frequent washing does NOT cause hair loss and may improve scalp health in many patients
- Patients with severe damage, high porosity hair or significant thinning may require a more individualised treatment plan
- Further treatment options, including minoxidil, may be discussed after reassessment if needed
