“How Hormones Affect Hair”


🔬
EDUCATION — Hormones & Your Hair

Your hormones directly impact your hair cycle. The top three:

1. Estrogen

     Supports thick, full, fast-growing hair.

Low estrogen = shedding + thinning.

2. Cortisol (Stress Hormone)

     High cortisol slows growth + can trigger sudden shedding.

3. Thyroid Hormones

      Imbalances affect dryness, scalp health, and growth speed.


Symptoms of hormonal shedding:

     • Widening part

     • Excess shedding in shower

     • Changes around PMS/menopause

     • Thinning at temples

Good news: hormonal shedding is manageable with the right nourishment, consistency, and gentle care.
