Hair Loss Products (mini-rant)!

I've been preparing guides to pattern hair loss management, the second will be available in my shop in late October 2025. 

In doing that, I've been collecting and sorting a curated list of products.

After making those lists - I can't go anywhere online or on social media without seeing persistent, emotion-grabbing ads for hair loss products. red avocados liven up dreary typewritten documents

And you know what? It really irritates me. Because I know that it stresses out people who are researching hair loss for themselves.  

Advertising is meant to wedge itself between the "thinking" part of your brain and the emotional part. 

With the best intentions you set out to find good products - but here's this product in a great-looking package, promising everything you hope a product will do. And look at these amazing before-and-after photos! 🤩 Is now a good time to mention that brands (in the U.S.) don't have to prove their product fulfills its promises unless the product is FDA-approved to treat a disease?

And here's another problem:  How do you set aside the influence of influencers? So what if all the cool people are using hair loss product "B?" That may be completely wrong for you. The way they are using it might be wrong for you. hair loss does not happen to chatbots nor should this be copied

That is why I became a certified Trichologist to add to my hair analysis service. 

A Trichologist like me, sees your hair loss as a riddle to be solved, starting with a thorough assessment. I have lots of tools and ideas to help you solve it. This is a real service where you interact with a real person, with follow-up built in.

Follow-up is motivating. Hair-loss-care is a new habit for lots of us. And if that treatment just sits on the shelf after a few weeks if you feel discouraged, it's definitely not going to work.hair loss does not happen to chatbots nor should this be copied

A company selling you a product just sees you as another sale. (Unfair? Maybe. But also - undeniable). Whether your hair loss improves is not their problem. 

Thinking caps ON, everybody! Until next time...
