Hair loss: Why so many women are experiencing It right now.
Hair loss and thinning hair have become one of the biggest concerns we are seeing in salon right now. More women than ever are noticing excessive shedding, thinning around the hairline and crown, lack of density, and hair that simply feels weaker than it used to.
The reality is — modern lifestyles are placing more stress on our hair than ever before.
Between hormonal changes, stress, heat styling, colouring, poor nutrition and environmental factors, the hair and scalp can easily become compromised over time. While some daily shedding is completely normal, ongoing thinning and fragile hair are signs that the scalp and hair need extra support.
The good news? With the right products and consistent care, healthy-looking fuller hair can absolutely be supported.
Why Is Hair Loss So Common Right Now?
Hair health is closely connected to overall wellbeing, which is why so many women are experiencing changes in their hair.
Some of the most common causes include:
Stress & Hormones
Stress-related shedding has become increasingly common and often appears months after periods of emotional or physical stress. Hormonal fluctuations, postpartum changes and thyroid imbalances can also affect the hair growth cycle.
Heat & Chemical Damage
Excessive heat styling, blonding and colouring can weaken the hair fibre, leading to breakage and thinning through the lengths.
Nutritional Deficiencies
Low iron, low protein intake and restrictive diets can impact hair growth and overall scalp health.
Tight Hairstyles & Extensions
Constant tension from slick hairstyles or poorly maintained extensions can contribute to stress on the scalp and fragile hairlines.
Poor Scalp Health
A healthy scalp is the foundation for healthy hair growth. Product build-up, oil imbalance and lack of scalp care can all affect hair quality over time.
Why We Love The Oribe Serene Scalp Densifying Collection
One of our favourite luxury collections for thinning or fragile hair is the Oribe Serene Scalp Densifying range.
Created specifically for thinning hair, this advanced scalp-focused system is designed to support fuller, healthier-looking hair while improving scalp health and strengthening strands over time.
The hero product in the collection is the Serene Scalp Densifying Shampoo — a lightweight, ultra-nourishing cleanser formulated to target thinning hair without stripping the scalp or weighing the hair down.
Powered by a blend of bioactive ingredients, peptides and skincare-inspired technology, the formula helps:
Create the appearance of thicker, fuller hair
Support scalp health
Reduce signs of shedding and weakness
Improve hair strength and resilience
Add softness, volume and shine
Unlike heavy thickening shampoos, the Serene Scalp Densifying Shampoo leaves the hair feeling clean, airy and luxurious while still supporting density and strength.
Hair Supplements Can Also Make A Difference
When experiencing excessive shedding or thinning, supporting the hair internally is just as important as using the right external haircare.
While supplements are never a “quick fix,” quality formulations can help support healthy hair growth, scalp health and overall hair strength over time — especially when nutritional deficiencies, stress or hormonal changes are contributing factors.
Two supplement brands we love recommending in salon are AEDE and Glowwa.
Why We Love AEDE
AEDE Hair Activist is designed to support healthy hair growth, strengthen fragile strands and improve overall hair condition from within. Their formulas focus on concerns such as thinning hair, stress-related shedding, postpartum hair loss and breakage caused by colouring or heat styling. ()
The brand combines vitamins, minerals and clinically backed ingredients to support stronger, healthier-looking hair over time.
Why We Love Glowwa
Glowwa Hair Food has become incredibly popular for clients experiencing shedding, dullness and lack of density. The award-winning supplement contains ingredients including MSM, biotin, zinc, B vitamins and amino acids designed to support healthier hair and scalp function. ()
Many clients love incorporating supplements alongside their salon and scalp care routine for a more holistic approach to hair health.
The Importance Of Scalp Care
One of the biggest shifts in modern haircare is the focus on scalp health. Just like healthy skin starts with skincare, healthy hair starts with the scalp.
A balanced scalp environment supports stronger, healthier hair growth while helping to minimise excess shedding and irritation.
This is why investing in targeted scalp care products — especially for thinning hair — can make such a difference over time.
Healthy Hair Starts With Consistency
When it comes to hair loss and thinning, consistency is everything. Results come from maintaining healthy habits both in salon and at home.
We recommend:
Using professional salon-quality haircare
Minimising excessive heat styling
Prioritising scalp health
Maintaining regular trims
Using heat protection daily
Eating a balanced diet rich in nutrients
Being gentle with wet hair
