If you’ve ever found yourself staring at the hair in your brush or shower drain wondering, “Is this normal?”—you’re not alone.
At Faith and Fellows, this is one of the most common concerns we hear.
The truth is that some hair shedding is completely normal. Most people lose between 50–100 strands a day. But when you start noticing more hair than usual, a widening part, or a thinner ponytail, it’s time to pay closer attention.
Hair loss isn’t random—it’s usually your body trying to tell you something.
The most common causes we see include:
- Hormonal changes (such as postpartum or perimenopause)
- Stress (often showing up months after the stressful event)
- Nutritional deficiencies (this includes big changes to your diet)
- Medications
- Overprocessing or excessive heat styling
Here’s what many people don’t realize: hair loss is a symptom, not the root problem.
That’s why guessing—or jumping from product to product—rarely works.
One of the first things we often recommend at Faith and Fellows is focusing on scalp support. Think of this as your foundation. You will need to choose products that will create a strong foundation for what your hair goals are. Gentle, nutrient-rich options like Davines Naturaltech Energizing Shampoo (stimulates the scalp and supports fragile hair) or Eufora Scalptherapy Thickening Cleanser (balances and soothes while creating a healthier foundation) can help create a healthier environment for hair to grow—without overwhelming the scalp.
Healthy hair growth starts with a healthy scalp. The sooner you identify the cause, the better chance you have of improving it.
