Hereditary hair loss may be a shock as the first symptoms start to show. For many women, they may have had an indication the problem might affect them if they’ve watched a parent battle hair loss. Despite its prevalence, it’s one of the most challenging types of hair loss to manage.

If your morning routine involves a 30-minute mirror panic over finding yet another clump of hair in the drain, you're not alone. Over 50 million men and 30 million women in the U.S. experience androgenetic alopecia, the medical term for genetic hair loss.

Stressing over a sudden onset of hair loss or shedding? A lack of nutrients could be the culprit behind your tress distress — but which vitamin deficiencies cause hair loss? That’s what we’re here to talk about today.

Congratulations, new mom! Bringing home a baby is full of beautiful firsts and precious moments that stay with you for a lifetime. Watching your hair fall out in clumps does not fall into that category.

COVID-19 affected all of us in many ways, and while things have mostly normalized in our world, a lingering symptom is still affecting many people: COVID hair loss.

When your hair starts falling out, reaching for hair growth vitamins is the first step for many people. After all, physical health and hair growth go hand-in-hand. When our bodies are healthy, our follicles should grow healthy strands… right? On the flip side, a thinning mane that's stopped producing new strands is a sign that something's off internally.

As chic as a slick-back ponytail may be, ultra-tight hairstyles are not kind to your strands. Rocking a tight bun, cornrows, or extensions daily can lead to a type of gradual hair loss called traction alopecia. Over time, the constant pulling on your hair follicles damages the strands and the follicle itself, causing the hair to fall out.

Accepting the unfortunate reality that your hair isn't the thick, lustrous mane it once was can be tough. And trying to find hair loss products that actually work can be even tougher.

Getting diagnosed with alopecia is a devastating reality millions of women face. It feels like your world has just come crashing down. You feel lost, defeated, and face the shocking reality that you’re likely going to lose more hair. Sure, you finally have an answer to your unexplained hair loss after months—or years—without answers. But it doesn’t help that there are 13 types of alopecia, and isolating your exact type is incredibly challenging.

Running your fingers through your hair shouldn't be a cause for concern. But for many women, it's a daily reminder of a more distressing reality: hair loss.
