Understanding Hair Loss

Hair loss is one of the most common concerns affecting both men and women in South Africa. The most common type — androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss) — is caused by DHT (dihydrotestosterone) sensitivity in hair follicles, which causes follicles to miniaturise and eventually stop producing hair. Other causes include nutritional deficiency (iron, zinc, biotin), hormonal changes (pregnancy, menopause, thyroid), stress-related telogen effluvium, and scalp conditions that damage follicles.

Professional hair loss products address these causes at multiple levels — from scalp-stimulating shampoos that remove DHT-accumulating sebum, to scalp serums that stimulate follicle activity, to supplements that address nutritional deficiencies at the root cause.

A Complete Hair Loss Routine

Step 1 — Hair Loss Shampoo: A scalp-stimulating shampoo that removes excess sebum and DHT build-up from follicles while creating an optimal scalp environment for hair growth. Top picks: Nioxin System Shampoo, DS Laboratories Revita Shampoo, Redken Brews Extra Clean Shampoo, and Kérastase Genesis Bain Hydra-Fortifiant.

Step 2 — Scalp Conditioner: Applied to mid-lengths and ends only — never the scalp. Provides moisture and strength without adding heaviness at the roots. Top picks: Nioxin System Scalp Revitaliser, DS Laboratories Revita Conditioner, and Kérastase Genesis Fondant Renforcateur.

Step 3 — Scalp Treatment: The most important step — a leave-on scalp treatment applied after washing to stimulate follicle activity and deliver active ingredients directly to the scalp. Top picks: Nioxin Scalp Treatment, DS Laboratories Spectral.DNC-N Nanoxidil, Kérastase Genesis Sérum Anti-Chute, and L'Oréal Professionnel Aminexil Serum.

Step 4 — Supplements: Oral supplements address nutritional deficiencies that contribute to hair loss. Biotin, collagen, zinc, and iron are the most commonly deficient nutrients in hair loss clients. Quick Grow and Newtrino are South African supplement ranges specifically formulated for hair growth support.

Step 5 — Scalp Massage: Regular scalp massage (4-5 minutes daily) increases blood circulation to hair follicles — delivering more oxygen and nutrients to support the growth phase. Use your fingertips or a scalp massage tool. Apply your scalp treatment serum during massage for enhanced absorption.

Frequently Asked Questions — Hair Loss

How long does it take for hair loss products to work? Most professional hair loss systems require 3-6 months of consistent daily use before significant results are visible. Hair growth is slow (approximately 1.25cm per month) and the hair cycle takes 3-6 months to complete. Patience and consistency are essential — stopping use early returns the scalp to its previous state.

What is the difference between Nioxin and DS Laboratories? Nioxin is the most widely used professional hair thinning system — effective for DHT-related thinning and general density loss with a scalp-first approach. DS Laboratories Revita contains ketoconazole (pharmaceutical anti-fungal) and Nanoxidil (next-generation Minoxidil alternative) — more clinically intensive for advanced thinning or hair loss that hasn't responded to conventional treatments.

Is hair loss treatment different for men and women? The causes can differ — male pattern hair loss (receding hairline, crown thinning) is typically DHT-driven. Female hair loss is more often diffuse (thinning throughout the scalp) and may have multiple causes including hormonal and nutritional. Most professional hair loss products are suitable for both — Nioxin, Kérastase Genesis, and DS Laboratories Revita are all used by both men and women.
