Hair Care

Losing some hair every day is completely normal — it's just part of the natural growth cycle, where older hairs shed to make room for new ones. What's considered normal varies by person, but a sudden increase in shedding, noticeable thinning, or bald patches are worth paying attention to and, if persistent, mentioning to a dermatologist.

Hair grows out of the scalp, so the condition of your scalp directly affects how that hair grows in. A dry, irritated, or imbalanced scalp doesn't provide a great foundation, even if you're using great products on the hair itself. Treating the scalp as the starting point, rather than an afterthought, tends to get better results over time.

Hair grows slowly, and the growth cycle itself unfolds over months, not days, so most people need several weeks to a few months of consistent use before noticing a real difference. Patience and consistency matter more here than with almost any other category of personal care.

Yes, many people do, just not necessarily every wash. A common approach is using a hydrating formula for regular cleansing and bringing in a clarifying formula periodically, like once a week or every other week, to manage buildup without over-stripping the scalp in between.

Most formulas are well tolerated, but scalp irritation, redness, or itchiness can occasionally happen, especially with new or active ingredients. Introducing a new product gradually and watching how your scalp responds is a reasonable approach. If irritation continues or you notice unusual shedding, it's worth checking in with a dermatologist.
