TRUTH: Genetics play a major role in common forms of pattern hair loss, but they’re only part of the picture. Hair shedding and thinning can also be influenced by age, hormones, nutrition, illness, medications, stress, inflammation, styling practices, and scalp conditions. Even when genetics are involved, early identification and appropriate treatment can often help slow progression, preserve existing hair, and in some cases improve density.PRO TIP: Don’t assume hair loss is inevitable—or treat every type of thinning the same way.

TRUTH: A clean, balanced scalp supports healthy hair care, but thinning has many possible causes like nutrient deficiency, medicinal reactions, and genetics.

TRUTH: Everyone's hair sheds and shampooing usually releases hairs that were already ready to shed. Wash based on your scalp’s needs—not fear of seeing hair in the drain. This depends entirely on the person and their scalp and hair, everyone is different! If you are someone that is consistently struggling with an oily scalp and/or lots of buildup, then keeping the scalp clean is a priority.
