Notice Shedding
Notice how hair falls, how long it has been happening and any recent changes.
Hair Loss & Density
Understand the pattern of hair loss before choosing care.
Hair loss and hair thinning
Receding temples, crown thinning, a widening part, alopecia areata and shedding linked to weight loss, telogen effluvium, stress or childbirth need different observation and care approaches. Shedding may be a temporary phase. Finding the right approach gives you a chance to make progress, step by step.
Whether you have only just noticed shedding or have been worried for some time, try not to blame yourself. Start by recording the changes, then explore scalp care, hair management and suitable support.
Find the guidance you need
Shedding, breakage or hair that looks thinner.
Notice Breakage
Look at strand lengths, the condition of the ends and your heat-styling, colouring or perming habits.
Notice the Appearance of Density
Track changes around the part, crown or hairline and use records to look back.
Observation records help communication. Causes of hair loss need to be considered individually.
A Widening Part in Women
Notice whether the central part gradually widens and whether overall density changes.

When searching for “hair growth” or “hair growth treatments”, first clarify whether your concern is scalp comfort, hair appearance or ongoing hair loss. Lavender Hair starts with observing the scalp surface and apparent density, everyday care and follow-up, then discusses products and procedures suited to that day's condition. The causes and treatment of persistent hair loss require medical assessment. Hair growth support treatments generally take around 90 minutes, adjusted to hair condition and arrangements. This is not the combined time including the free scalp check.

All Scalp & Hair Density Concerns ↗Start with what you are experiencing
Hair Density & SheddingShedding After Having a Baby · Postpartum
Increased shedding a few months after childbirth is common, though timing and severity vary. Start with gentle cleansing, less pulling and a record of changes. Care for your scalp and leave a little room for your own rest too.
Understand the Concern & Your Next Step ↗Hair Density & SheddingAlopecia Areata · Patchy Hair Loss
One or more sudden bald patches should be assessed by a registered doctor or dermatologist first, without waiting for a salon visit. The colloquial name for patchy loss does not establish its cause: alopecia areata, infection and other conditions need to be distinguished. Our free scalp check only helps identify visible surface conditions and everyday care needs; it cannot diagnose alopecia areata.

A sudden marked increase in shedding should be considered alongside when it started, whether it is diffuse or patchy, and recent health or medication changes. Persistent heavy shedding, bald patches, pain, redness, swelling or weeping need medical assessment first. A free scalp-surface check cannot determine the cause of hair loss and should not delay medical care.

Is scalp care appropriate for alopecia areata or sudden patchy hair loss?
Clearly defined or sudden bald patches should be assessed by a registered doctor first. Everyday scalp care may complement care when medical advice allows.
