Increased shedding can sometimes occur when starting hair growth products due to changes in the hair growth cycle. This does not always indicate worsening hair loss.
Why this happens:
As the hair cycle adjusts, older hairs may shed to make way for new growth. This process can appear sudden but is often temporary.
Common factors that can contribute:
-
Hair cycle synchronization
-
Increased follicle activity
-
Stress-related shedding
-
Early response to routine changes
How to support scalp and hair health:
Maintain consistent, gentle care and avoid abrupt changes during this phase. Monitoring shedding patterns over time helps distinguish temporary changes from ongoing loss.
When to reassess:
If shedding continues or intensifies over several months, consult a healthcare professional.
