Why Is My Hair Falling Out?
Do you find more hair on your brush, in the shower drain, or on your pillow? Each wash becomes its own little stress — as if not just a strand, but a piece of your confidence is slipping away. Your once-full volume feels diminished, the temples reveal more skin, and your ponytail seems to have shrunk to half its former thickness.
Hair is not just an accessory — it’s a living record of our health, hormonal balance, stress level, and even our habits. When it starts falling out, it’s as if the body is whispering, “Something’s not right.” The good news is that, in most cases, the problem is reversible.
At Solea Beauty Salon, we address hair loss holistically — from precise diagnosis to high-tech treatments that awaken dormant follicles. In this article, you’ll learn:
- Why hair loses strength and density;
- Which warning signs you shouldn’t ignore;
- How to start your recovery today.
Emotions Affect Your Hair
Have you noticed that after a stressful week your hair seems to shed more? An argument, a tight deadline, or unsettling news can not only wear you down emotionally, but also literally interrupt your hair’s growth cycle.
How stress affects hair:
- Follicle cycle disruption: Under the influence of cortisol, hair prematurely enters the shedding phase.
- Slowed nourishment of roots: Blood vessels constrict, reducing the supply of nutrients.
- Reduced scalp immunity: Dryness, irritation, and inflammation can develop.
- Nutrient deficiency: Disturbed sleep and poor eating habits decrease vitamin absorption.
Warning signs you shouldn’t ignore:
- Increased shedding during or after periods of emotional stress.
- Hair breakage, split ends, and a “fluffy” texture.
- Dryness or itchiness of the scalp without an obvious illness.
What can help?
If stress is the main cause, it’s important to act gently yet effectively:
Removes dead cells, oil, and buildup that prevent nutrients from reaching the follicles. Improves circulation and stimulates metabolic processes.
Fine needles create microchannels that trigger collagen production and boost blood flow. Treatment products penetrate deeper, giving the follicles a stronger “growth charge.”
Low-intensity laser energy penetrates deep into the follicle, awakening dormant roots, improving blood supply, and strengthening hair structure. Painless, no downtime, and no visible discomfort.
At Solea Beauty, we first identify the source of the problem — then offer professional, targeted solutions. No pressure, just real steps toward restoring your hair.
Thyroid, Childbirth, Testosterone: How Hormones Rule Your Hair Density
You can use the best shampoo, gently towel-dry, and take supplements — and still struggle with hair loss. Often, the cause lies in hormonal balance.
Why are hormones so important?
Hormones control nearly every process in the body — including hair growth. When this “orchestra” plays out of tune, your hair is often the first to sound the alarm.
Common hormonal causes:
- Thyroid dysfunction (hypo- or hyperthyroidism): Ends become brittle, hair thins all over, bald patches may appear.
- Postpartum period: Estrogen levels drop sharply, and the hair that stayed on your head during pregnancy starts shedding at once.
- Menopause: Female hormone levels decrease, while androgens (including testosterone) can intensify hair loss.
- Excess testosterone in women (e.g., PCOS): Male-pattern thinning at the temples or crown, oily scalp, acne.
Warning signs:
- Hair loss is diffuse — spread evenly over the scalp.
- Shedding lasts for 3 months or longer.
- Menstrual cycle irregularities, skin issues, fatigue, weight changes.
- Family history of hormonal disorders.
What can help?
At Solea Beauty Salon, we recommend starting with accurate diagnostics:
- Hair profile analysis — Determines how well your body receives and absorbs vitamins and minerals, and how internal systems function.
- Scalp dermoscopy — A modern diagnostic method where a trichologist examines scalp health, follicles, and hair density. Helps pinpoint whether the cause lies in hormones, microcirculation, inflammation, or nutrient deficiency.
If you suspect your hair loss is hormone-related — we’ll help you investigate, refer you to the right specialist if needed, and build a plan to restore fullness and health together.
Itching, Flakes, Unpleasant Odor: Hidden Scalp Conditions
Does your scalp itch? Do you see thick flakes, greasy shine, or an unpleasant odor that won’t go away even after washing? This isn’t just “the wrong shampoo.” You might be dealing with hidden dermatological issues that both slow hair growth and cause shedding.
Possible conditions:
- Seborrheic dermatitis — Inflammation with excess sebum production, appearing as oily or dry flakes, itching, irritation.
- Scalp psoriasis — An autoimmune condition where the skin develops thick, scaly patches, causing itchiness and micro-inflammation.
- Fungal infections — May cause itching, odor, flaking, and localized hair loss.
Warning signs:
- Itchiness worsens after washing or later in the day.
- Flakes remain even after changing shampoos.
- Hair falls out with an oily “sheath” on the root.
- Redness, scaling, and odor are present.
What can help?
At Solea Beauty Salon, we restore scalp balance with a comprehensive approach:
- Salon peeling with AHA acids — Gently removes dead skin cells and excess sebum, cleans pores, and creates a healthy environment for scalp recovery. Non-drying and non-irritating.
- LED scalp microbiome therapy — Light therapy reduces inflammation, balances oil production, and supports a healthy microbiome. Especially effective for seborrhea and sensitive scalps.
If itching and flaking have become constant companions, it’s better to address the cause and find a gentle yet effective treatment.
Scalp Diagnostics: The First Step Toward Healthy Hair Growth
Scalp diagnostics is a simple yet powerful tool that helps reveal what’s really going on with your scalp and hair.
Why it’s necessary:
- To identify the root cause of shedding.
- To detect inflammation.
- To assess oil gland function and dermal microbiome.
- To determine the hair growth stage.
- To create a personalized care and restoration plan.
What we examine:
- Scalp surface condition — oiliness, inflammation, flaking, irritation.
- Follicles and pores — cleanliness, blockage, density.
- Hair shaft structure — thickness, fragility, growth stage.
The procedure is completely painless, takes 15–20 minutes, and requires no preparation.
At Solea Beauty Salon, you can get a free express scalp diagnosis with a trichologist consultation. This will help us identify the exact cause of your problem and create a personalized in-salon and at-home care plan.
PRP, Meso, Laser: What We Use to Make Hair Grow
When hair falls out, you want a real solution — not just “try this shampoo.” At Solea Beauty Salon, we take a comprehensive approach using modern methods that work at the scalp and follicle level.

What You Can Do at Home to Stop Shedding
Salon treatments are powerful, but consistent home care plays just as big a role. The earlier you start acting consciously, the sooner your hair will thank you.
Easy, effective steps you can start today:
Proper washing:
Massage your scalp with your fingertips, not your nails. Use warm, not hot, water — high temperatures weaken roots and dry out skin. Rinse shampoo thoroughly.
Daily scalp massage:
2–3 minutes to boost circulation, follicle nutrition, and relieve stress.
Switch to a silk pillowcase:
Reduces friction, breakage, and tangling — especially important for fine or fragile hair.
Use a smart dryer
Modern dryers with temperature control (like Dyson) prevent overheating and keep moisture inside the hair shaft.
Choose professional care products:
We recommend Kevin Murphy and Milbon — brands we trust in the salon. Start with shampoo + conditioner + ampoules or serum.
FAQ
Yes, especially if your scalp is oily or you feel the need. Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo.
No — that’s a myth. But tight, non-breathable headwear can reduce circulation and oxygen supply. Choose natural, breathable fabrics.
Avoid aggressive coloring during active shedding. Opt for gentle formulas.
No, but it can make it appear fuller and reduce tangling/breakage.
If you lose more than 100 hairs a day for several weeks, your ponytail gets thinner, or bald spots appear — see a specialist.
