Are you suffering from hair loss?
Hair loss is a common concern in Australia, affecting both men and women in different ways. For men, male pattern baldness is particularly widespread, with over 40% experiencing some degree of hair loss. In women, hair thinning is often more gradual and can begin at any age, though it tends to become more noticeable with age.
While genetics are a major factor, other contributors such as hormonal changes, ageing, and lifestyle habits can also play a role.

Hair Loss in Men
Hair loss in men is most commonly linked to androgenetic alopecia, also known as male pattern baldness. It typically begins with a receding hairline or thinning at the crown and may progress over time. This condition is largely hereditary but can also be triggered by stress, poor nutrition, or underlying health issues such as thyroid disorders.
Other symptoms may include increased hair fall when brushing or washing, patchy bald spots, or overall scalp thinning. If you’re noticing any of these signs, early medical intervention may help slow or manage hair loss effectively.

Hair Loss in Women
Hair loss in women can be more diffuse and less predictable than in men. It may appear as general thinning across the scalp, a widening part, or sudden hair shedding. Common causes include hormonal changes (such as post-pregnancy or menopause), iron deficiency, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), stress, and certain medications. Female pattern hair loss (FPHL) is the most frequent form, often starting in midlife.
If you’re seeing more hair in your brush or feel like your ponytail is thinner than usual, it’s important to speak to a doctor to rule out any underlying conditions and explore treatment options tailored to your needs.
