It is normal to shed between 50 and 100 hairs a day. Hair loss becomes noticeable when shedding outpaces regrowth or when follicles begin to shrink over time. Male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is by far the most common cause. It is largely genetic, driven by the hormone DHT, and typically begins at the temples or crown before progressing gradually.
Not all hair loss is permanent. Temporary shedding can be triggered by illness, significant stress, nutritional deficiencies, sudden weight loss, or certain medications. Identifying the type of hair loss you have is essential before any treatment begins, which is exactly what our consultation is designed to do.
For general information, the NHS provides helpful guidance at www.nhs.uk/conditions/hair-loss.
Our pharmacists are here to listen, assess, and help you find an approach that is evidence-based and realistic for your situation.
We start by understanding your hair loss properly, how long it has been happening, your family history, general health, and how it is affecting you. There is no rush and no judgement.
We will be straightforward about which treatments are likely to help based on your type and stage of hair loss and equally honest about what is unlikely to make a difference. Realistic expectations matter to us.
If your hair loss suggests an underlying medical cause, we will advise you to see your GP and explain why. Getting the right diagnosis always comes before treatment.
Alongside treatment, our pharmacists also offer advice on maintaining a healthy scalp and adopting habits that support hair strength and overall wellbeing.
