Hair Loss Support: What’s Actually Worth Your Time

Let’s Talk Hair Loss — For Real

Hair thinning and shedding is something I see behind the chair all the time — and trust me, you’re not alone. Whether it’s postpartum, stress-related, hormonal, or just one of those seasons, hair loss is more common than most people realize.

As a custom colorist and extension specialist, I believe in approaching hair loss from a place of care, consistency, and confidence. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution, but there are real ways to support your scalp, strengthen your strands, and feel better in your hair.

How to Support Healthy Hair Growth

These are the foundational habits and tools I recommend — no quick fixes, just steady progress.

1. Hydrate your scalp A dry, tight scalp can lead to inflammation and more shedding. Keeping your scalp hydrated helps create an optimal environment for growth. I love the Divi Scalp Serum for lightweight moisture that won’t weigh down your hair.

2. Brush regularly to boost circulation Brushing with intention helps stimulate blood flow to the scalp, delivering oxygen and nutrients to your hair follicles. A boar bristle or scalp-stimulating brush is your best friend here — think of it like a mini massage for your scalp.

3. Filter your shower water Phoenix water is hard. Between chlorine, minerals, and build-up, your scalp is working overtime. I use and recommend the Canopy Filtered Showerhead to help reduce irritation, improve hair texture, and support a healthier scalp microbiome.

4. Support growth from within Supplements like Nutrafol are designed to support hair from the inside out — especially if stress or hormonal shifts are playing a role. It’s one of the few hair growth supplements I trust and recommend consistently.

5. Consider red light therapy Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) or red light treatments can stimulate hair follicles and reduce inflammation. It’s not an overnight solution, but it can be a powerful long-term tool.

6. Prioritize consistency Hair health isn’t about a single serum or treatment — it’s about creating a simple routine you actually stick to. Small, daily steps = big results over time.

What If You Want to Feel Better Now?

Let’s be honest — while you’re working on regrowth, you still want to feel like you. That’s where extensions can be a really empowering part of your plan.

I recently partnered with Mane Ivy to talk about how lightweight, properly placed extensions can add fullness and confidence without putting extra stress on your natural hair. The key is working with someone who understands your hair density and goals, and prioritizes your scalp health above all else.

Hair loss can feel overwhelming — but it doesn’t have to be something you just “deal with.” Whether you’re in the early stages of shedding or looking to rebuild strength after postpartum, you deserve support, guidance, and options that actually work.
