Your Hormones Are Hijacking Your Hair: Here’s How to Fight Back!

Sis, let’s talk.
If you’ve been watching your hairline retreat or seeing clumps in the shower, don’t just blame stress. There’s a silent thief working behind the scenes — your hormones.

 Whether it’s PCOS, menopause, or postpartum, your hormones could be the hidden reason your hair is falling out. But don’t panic — I’m going to break it down and show you exactly how to fight back.

🚨 The Real Culprit: Hormones & Hair Loss

Your hormones control your hair growth cycles like traffic lights. Green means grow, red means stop and shed.
When things like PCOS, menopause, or postpartum changes happen, those lights get stuck on red — causing you to lose hair faster than you can grow it back.

⚠️ PCOS: When Androgens Attack

PCOS triggers higher levels of male hormones (androgens), which shrink your hair follicles and slow down growth.
The result? Thinning hair, especially around your crown and temples.

What To Do:
✅ Add flaxseeds and spearmint tea to your diet — they help balance hormones naturally.
✅ Use rosemary oil or pumpkin seed oil to block DHT, the hormone that shrinks hair follicles (found in Follicle Fuel Pro+)

✅Switch processed carbs & sugars (bread, wheat pasta, sweets, doughnuts etc) for wholefoods (lentil pasta, chickpea pasta) and  naturally sweetened alternatives to avoid sugar spikes which leads to insulin resistance. Watch all about how sugar is killing your growth here.

⚠️ Menopause: The Estrogen Crash

As estrogen and progesterone levels drop, your hair growth slows down dramatically.
You’ll notice more shedding, dryness, and thinning.

What To Do:
✅ Eat soy foods and omega-3-rich meals to support hormonal balance.
✅ Treat your scalp like royalty with massages and nourishing oils like sweet almond oil.

⚠️ Postpartum Shedding: The After-Baby Shock

After childbirth, your estrogen levels fall off a cliff, triggering massive shedding.
This is why you may feel like you’re losing half your head of hair overnight!

What To Do:
✅ Prioritise iron-rich foods (spinach, beans) and vitamin C to boost absorption.
✅ Try peppermint or rosemary oil treatments to wake up sleepy follicles. (Yes Follicle Fuel Pro+ 😉)
