Hair Loss Worries

Hair fall out has become an increasing concern for me, especially now that I am in my mid-forties. The classic messy bun may be a signature look for busy moms, but underneath the humor lies a genuine fear: losing my hair. Watching the women in my family experience hair loss as they aged has left a lasting impression, and lately, I have been noticing more hair falling out and increased breakage.

I have always had fine, straight hair that never amounted to anything more than a flat curtain, only occasionally varying the style. However, seeing thin webs of hair on the shower floor or caught between my fingers as I rinse now fills me with a sense of dread I cannot shake. The anxiety intensifies when my kids want to play with my hair; it takes all my willpower not to run from the room when they enthusiastically brush out knots.

Determined to address the issue, I have started trying a variety of solutions in hopes of seeing improvement: supplements, new shampoos, and scalp elixirs. At this point, I am so eager for results that I’m halfway down the street to the local snake oil salesman.

Here’s what I’m trying now:

Biolage Full Rescue

These Biolage products I have chosen to try out are paraben-free and sulfate-free, which, according to my limited research, are common but “dead-on-arrival” ingredients in hair care products. As an added bonus, this brand is also vegan. I am only one week into this new routine, so wish me luck. I plan to update this post in a couple of months to share whether these efforts have made a difference.
