Androgenetic Alopecia (Hereditary Hair Loss)
A genetic sensitivity to DHT that gradually shrinks hair follicles, usually showing up as a receding hairline or thinning crown. Runs in families and progresses slowly over years.
Root causes
Understanding your hair loss
Hair loss is usually driven by one or more underlying factors. Identifying yours is the first step to treating it properly.
Telogen Effluvium (Stress-Induced Shedding)
A temporary, diffuse shedding triggered by physical or emotional stress, illness, surgery, or a major life change — usually shows up 2-3 months after the trigger and improves once the underlying stressor resolves.
Nutritional Deficiency
Low iron, protein, biotin, or vitamin D/B12 levels can weaken the hair growth cycle, leading to thinning, brittleness, and slower regrowth.
Scalp Infection & Dandruff (Seborrheic Dermatitis)
An inflamed, flaky, or itchy scalp disrupts the follicle environment and can accelerate shedding until the underlying scalp condition is treated.
Hormonal Imbalance (Thyroid / PCOS)
Thyroid dysfunction or PCOS can disrupt the hair growth cycle, often alongside symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, or irregular cycles.
Stages
Stages of hair loss
Your hair-test result places you on one of these stages, so your plan reflects how far your hair loss has progressed.
STAGE 1
Results in ~3 months
Early Thinning
Mild, early-stage hair thinning. This is the easiest stage to reverse with a consistent routine.
STAGE 2
Results in ~6 months
Moderate Hair Loss
Noticeable thinning or shedding. A targeted routine can meaningfully slow progression and support regrowth.
STAGE 3
Results in ~9 months
Advanced Hair Loss
Significant hair loss affecting a larger area. Results take longer, but a consistent routine still helps.
STAGE 4
Results in ~12 months
Severe Hair Loss
Extensive hair loss. We recommend consulting a doctor alongside your routine for the best possible outcome.
STAGE 5
Results in ~12 months
Extensive Hair Loss
Large areas with very little hair. Treatment focuses on protecting the hair you have and regrowing what is possible — a doctor review is strongly recommended.
