Noticing more hair in your brush, on your pillow or in the shower can be concerning. Hair loss and thinning can affect anyone, and there are many possible causes – from genetics and hormonal changes to stress, nutrition and scalp health.

In this guide, we’ll explore some common causes of hair loss and thinning, ways to care for your hair and scalp, and how Tricotain Hair Retaining Shampoo and Conditioner can support your haircare routine.

What causes hair loss and thinning?

Genetics

Genetics are one of the most common causes of hair thinning. Male and female pattern hair loss can cause gradual thinning around areas such as the hairline, parting or crown.

While you can't change your genetics, looking after your scalp and hair can help support the condition of the hair you have.

Stress and lifestyle

Periods of significant physical or emotional stress can sometimes lead to increased hair shedding. Changes such as illness, major lifestyle changes or hormonal fluctuations can also affect the hair growth cycle.

A balanced diet, regular exercise, good sleep and looking after your overall wellbeing can all contribute to healthy-looking hair.

Hormonal changes and health

Pregnancy, menopause and other hormonal changes can affect hair growth and shedding. Certain health conditions and medications can also contribute to hair loss.

If you've noticed sudden, excessive or unexplained hair loss, it's important to speak to your GP or a healthcare professional to understand the possible cause.

Environmental factors

Pollution, UV exposure and other environmental stressors can affect the condition of the hair, potentially leaving it weaker and more prone to breakage.

While not all hair loss can be prevented, caring for your scalp and minimising damage can help maintain healthier-looking hair.

How can you care for thinning hair?

A few simple changes can help support your hair and scalp:

• Choose haircare designed for thinning or fragile hair
• Be gentle when brushing and detangling
• Avoid excessively tight hairstyles
• Limit excessive heat styling
• Always use heat protection when using heated tools
• Maintain a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle
• Keep your scalp clean and cared for

Can Tricotain help with hair loss?

Tricotain is designed to support the scalp and help retain existing hair as part of a consistent haircare routine.

However, hair loss can have many different causes, and haircare products aren't a replacement for medical diagnosis or treatment. If you're experiencing sudden, severe or unexplained hair loss, speak to your GP or a healthcare professional.

Your Regis stylist can also offer advice on caring for your hair and scalp and help you choose products suited to your needs.
