But Ross notes that most of her patients are women, largely because of two reasons: First, it\u2019s becoming more prevalent due to the various <a href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/blog\/geo-aggressors-hair-loss.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">environmental<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/blog\/how-stress-causes-hair-loss.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stressful<\/a> factors which can lead to hair loss. Secondly, because society is getting comfortable finally discussing <a href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/blog\/ways-to-combat-female-hair-loss.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">female hair loss<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a very stressful and scary thing to go through, because for many women, hair is a huge part of our identity,\u201d she says. \u201cI experienced a hair-loss scare myself due to a mineral deficiency, so it\u2019s very easy for me to empathize with any women out there going through something similar.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ross says that the following factors cover the majority of cases she sees with women clients: years of harmful styling practices, hormones, <a href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/blog\/postpartum-hair-loss-facts.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pregnancy<\/a>, stressful events, and nutrient deficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><h2>For men, it&#8217;s not just genetics<\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One big misconception about hair loss in men is that it\u2019s purely genetic. \u201cFor the fellas out there, I\u2019d also like them to know that some of these factors can impact their hair as well,\u201d Ross says. \u201cIt\u2019s not always tied to how much hair your father or grandfather had. Plenty of men are losing hair due to lack of vital nutrients or stressful events and may not realize it.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><h2>How stress impacts hair health<\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides anything genetic, stress is likely the top reason people lose their hair in unexpected, noticeable ways. \u201cThere\u2019s a reason why we call it a silent killer!\u201d Ross says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we experience emotional or internal stress, the body produces more cortisol, which is the stress hormone. But these cortisol levels spike from all kinds of internal stress, Ross points out. \u201cThings like too much sugar intake or not sleeping enough may not make you \u2018feel\u2019 stressed, and they raise your stress hormone.\u201d Whenever cortisol levels go up, they more prominently impact the hair follicle\u2019s function and growth. \u201cThe higher the stress, the higher the likelihood that your hair will be negatively impacted, especially in women,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><h2>How your lifestyle impacts hair health<\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It always bears saying, and repeating:<b> \u201c<\/b>Healthy hair starts with a healthy body,\u201d Ross says. \u201cEnsuring that your body has an optimal amount of the most vital nutrients that boost hair function and keep inflammation away is going to be your first and best line of defense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doing all the other stuff, like keeping your scalp clean and <a href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/blog\/how-to-exfoliate-your-scalp.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">exfoliated<\/a>, are only so helpful if you don\u2019t first have a healthy diet and lifestyle. We\u2019re talking lots of sleep, water, nutritious\/unprocessed foods, as little alcohol as possible, daily exercise, and so forth. \u201cOnce you\u2019ve nailed those habits down, then it&#8217;s as simple as using the best quality shampoo, conditioner and styling products for your needs and using them routinely,\u201d she says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><h2>When to visit a trichologist<\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ross has a bit of bias regarding how frequently you should see a trichologist\u2014periodically, let\u2019s say 1-2x a year\u2014even if nothing seems wrong. \u201cMany times we can detect any issues that may be coming around the bend, and stop them before they\u2019re serious,\u201d she says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But here are the biggest indicators of when you should make an appointment: \u201cIf your scalp is any combination of itchy, dry, flaky or inflamed, that\u2019s something you want to check out right away. Also if you see a spot that seems to be thinning but you\u2019re unsure, it\u2019s best to get it checked out rather than waiting to see if it gets worse.\u201d&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><h2>How to decide the best approach to your hair regrowth<\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hair loss is not \u201cone size fits all\u201d, Ross reiterates. How you approach your own recovery is a personal decision, and should come after lots of research and consideration\u2014and hopefully some helpful visits to the trichologist or <a href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/blog\/dermatologist-haircare-skincare.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dermatologist<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ross only works with holistic approaches in her clinic, though she understands that some patients want to consider prescription treatments. \u201cMy professional opinion would be to get as much data on the \u2018why\u2019 of your hair concern as you can, because sometimes it\u2019s an easier fix than taking a prescription,\u201d she says. \u201cNow, say you\u2019ve done your research and a prescription makes sense to you, then that&#8217;s a path to explore at that time. Our goal is to always teach your body how to grow hair on its own, without the use of prescriptions or minoxidil.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for picking the best <a href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/blog\/prose-hair-supplements-capsule-soft-gel.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">supplement<\/a>, she says to do the same research: \u201cMake sure that the supplement you decide on has the things that your body lacks. That way you\u2019re not stocking up on unnecessary nutrients while completely missing the target needed to improve your situation.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><h2>How long before you see results?<\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finding and sticking to a dedicated hair-loss treatment is a victory in itself, Ross says. It can be the hardest part, especially since you need to honor the regimen long after you see results\u2014which can take a while, too. \u201cA general rule that I have [for hair loss or scalp recovery] is that restoration takes twice as long as loss,\u201d she says. \u201cMeaning if you\u2019ve been experiencing hair loss for one year, it can take up to two years to be fully restored. Of course there are exceptions, but I think this rule sets the expectation that you\u2019re not in this for a quick fix, but rather on a journey. Embrace the journey!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"block--full-width-cta section\">\n  <div class=\"container\">\n    <div class=\"cta-card\">\n            <p>Always made to order.
