How to Stop Hair Loss in Its Tracks: Top Treatments to Try in 2023

Hair loss and balding can affect anyone, and it tends to knock your confidence down many pegs once it happens. While some are happy enough to fully embrace the change by making a bald head their new look, not all are happy about it. If losing your hair is stressing you out, and you don’t want to rock a shaved head, don’t worry. You can take several steps to completely change your look and ensure you remain with a stunning, full head of hair.
How to Stop Hair Loss in Its Tracks: Top Treatments to Try in 2023

Start By Understanding Why Your Hair is Falling Out


While genetics plays a huge part in whether you maintain your full head of hair as you age or not, there are several other causes that need to be ruled out. Hormonal imbalances and changes, for example, frequently result in hair loss. That’s why pregnant women and women going through menopause may notice their hair falling out more regularly, to the point where they now have to deal with bald patches. The good news is that, as your hormones stabilize, your hair should grow back. It’s not, however, a guarantee.

Medication, medical conditions, stress – all of these can cause hair loss. If you want to ensure that your hair retention efforts work as well as possible, go to a doctor to get to the bottom of your hair loss and work from there.

How to Stop Hair Loss in Its Tracks


Medication
There is medication out there that may be able to stop your hair loss in its tracks. These medications inhibit the conversion of testosterone into DHT, which is a leading cause for balding in women and in hereditary cases. Do keep in mind this medication only works to slow or stop hair loss. It cannot help you regrow your hair.

Hair Transplants
If you want to return hair growth to areas that stopped seeing new growth altogether, you’ll need a hair transplant. Hair transplants for both men and women are one of the most popular treatment options available at hshairclinic.co.uk in Dubai. How much the treatment costs depends entirely on how much hair you need to be replaced. If you have light thinning or your hairline has receded, your efforts will not only take less time but also cost less.

Other Hair Options
You can mimic the look of real hair in several ways. Hair loss treatments are another option, which involve stem cell hair growth serums to target hair shedding and stimulate hair follicle growth. One of the easiest is Advanced Tricho Pigmentation, which essentially works to mimic the look of real hair follicles growing on your scalp. The goal is to help mimic the look of a close shave, even if your hair itself doesn’t actually grow there anymore.

You can also get a wig made for you. Getting one made with real human hair and designed with your head in mind can help you reclaim a full head of hair with natural-looking results. You will need to learn how to properly put your wig on so that you can move your hair around with ease naturally and not have anything fall out of place. If you’re expecting sudden hair loss (for example, going through chemo), you can even use your existing hair to create your own custom wig.

Good Gracious Haircare

Meet Good Gracious, a newly launched haircare brand that is sold on the highstreet. Made up of three different ranges, Good Gracious is made from 97% natural ingredients, is vegan friendly, not tested on animals, free from parabens, petrochemicals, silicone and mineral oils and is priced around £5!
Good Gracious Haircare
The range from Good Gracious comprises 7 different lines including
  • 3 x shampoo – Smooth & Hydrate, Intense Repair, Colour Care
  • 3 x conditioner – Smooth & Hydrate, Intense Repair, Colour Care
  • 1 x Crown of Glory Hair Mask
I was kindly sent the Good Gracious Smooth & Hydrate Shampoo and Conditioner to try but, if you go over to my Instagram account, there is a competition giving you the chance to win one of each of their 7 products.

So what are the products

Starting with the Good Gracious Crown of Glory Repair Mask - Enriched with Coconut Oil, this mask is described a being the Queen of hair masks and the one you need when your hair is in need of some TLC. Designed to deeply nourish and repair dry, damaged hair, this mask will leave your hair feeling fabulously smooth, soft and super-shiny. In other words, fit for royalty. £6.50 (300ml).

From here the shampoo and Conditioner sets can be spotted due to their colour pairings of Pink, Purple and Orange.

Starting with Pink we have the Good Gracious Colour Care Shampoo and Good Gracious Colour Care Conditioner both 400ml and 25oml respectively and £5 each.
 
The is clearly the range you need to enhance your hair colour and again, infused with Coconut Oil, Vitamins C and E and green tea, not only will this duo work to enhance and protect colour but also to give you that radiant, glamorous and glossy finish.

Up next we have Orange and this time it is the Good Gracious Intense Repair Shampoo and Good Gracious Intense Repair Conditioner  and again both 400ml and 25oml respectively and £5 each.

Described as being the duo to give your hair its mojo back as well as a new lease of life, this intense repair range is infused with Argan Oil, Sweet Almond Oil and Almond Milk for deep hydration. Perfect for hair that is dry, damaged and brittle, this duo is said to give you feel-good hair all day long.

Then finally we have the Purple Ones which are the ones I have been using Good Gracious Smooth & Hydrate Shampoo and Good Gracious Smooth & Hydrate Conditioner.
Good Gracious Haircare
Smelling absolutely delightful, this duo is said to be the one that helps you to say goodbye to sad, dry and thirsty hair and instead to say hello to happy, shiny hair. Infused with Shea Butter, Omega oils and Ceramides, the shampoo for this duo is lightweight and lathers like a dream, it doesn't leave you hair feeling lank or in need of a further wash and it doesn't dry out my scalp, the conditioner is slightly thicker, so a little goes a long way and it also doesn't leave my hair feeling as though I haven't washed it.  After rinsing out, my hair is soft and easy to comb through with no knots or tangles and the scent, it is divine.  As someone who loves discovering new hair care, at these prices, it is worth heading to Tesco to grab them quick!

Again with this range the Shampoo at 400ml is just £5.00 and the Conditioner is 250ml and £5.00.

The range is currently available in-store and online at Tesco.

L'Occitane Artichoke Range

A range I would never expect to have loved as much as I do is the L'Occitane Artichoke Range. Consisting of two products - Massage Cream and Exfoliating Body Scrub they are exceptional in every way.
L'Occitane Artichoke Range
L'Occitane Artichoke Range
Starting with the Artichoke Exfoliating Body Scrub (£42/200ml) it is described as being an expert body scrub which works to improve the appearance of cellulite, skin’s firmness and relieve water retention swelling.

With its jelly-like texture, the Artichoke Body Scrub does something I was not expecting it to do, it warms on contact with the skin to give that little extra something. On the skin when massaged, the scrub polishes away those dead and dry skin cells along with any impurities and whilst it is not overly abrasive, it does an incredible job.
L'Occitane Artichoke Range
This scrub is enriched with Artichoke extract which is known to help blood circulation and anti-cellulite Centella Asiatica extract, micro-circulation is enhanced to visibly improve the appearance of cellulite, skin’s elasticity and tonicity whilst also relieving the swelling sensations due to water retention.

Then we have the Artichoke Massage Cream (£49/200ml) and it is described as being an expert body moisturiser that improves skin texture and skin’s firmness.
With its jelly-like texture, the Artichoke Body Scrub does something I was not expecting it to do, it warms on contact with the skin to give that little extra something. On the skin when massaged, the scrub polishes away those dead and dry skin cells along with any impurities and whilst it is not overly abrasive, it does an incredible job.
This Massage Cream is a moisturiser which works to firms-up the skin whilst at the same time helping to reduce cellulite aspect and when it is combined with a massage it also helps reduces swollen and heavy leg sensation.

On the skin, the cream has a refreshing feel to it as its lightweight texture melts into the skin to leave it feeling moisturised and hydrated for up to 8 hours. Once again, powered with micro-circulation booster Artichoke extract, not only does it sublimates body contours, restores firmness and elasticity to the skin and helps to reduce the appearance of cellulite.

As both products use Artichoke extract, an ingredient that is raved about for its ability to improve skin tone and elasticity as well as to soothe and calm irritated skin.  For me, I have an issue with water retention in my legs, so to actually notice a difference from continuous use of a product is quite remarkable, especially around my ankles when one is always swollen due to an old injury.  When a sandal strap was once too tight, it now fits and isn't uncomfortable and nor does it rub, so for that reason alone, I have ensured I have another jar of each pot in my bathroom cupboard.

L'Occitane is to launch Beauty Advent Calendars this year and all the details can be found right here.

NEW PlexSystem Smoothing Infusion Hair Care Range

Meet the NEW PlexSystem Smoothing Infusion range from HeadShock. For anyone who is a fan of Olaplex but finds it a little too expensive, or indeed isn't a fan and has always been intrigued, then I have a treat for you. 
NEW PlexSystem Smoothing Infusion Hair Care Range
The New PlexSystem range has launched with a five step programme and with it, a whole host of scientific formulations that are designed to harness a ‘Smoothing Infusion’ to restore and protect damaged hair.

For me, I have hair that is referred to as combination, so I have oily roots and dry ends, plus if ever I am stressed, run down or really just not feeling myself, my scalp is known to give me a little bit of grief as well.  I have used Olaplex quite a few times and I find it quite heavy for my hair and it just doesn't do me any favours at all, so I am always looking for an alternative to give me that just left the salon looking hair!
NEW PlexSystem Smoothing Infusion Hair Care Range
The PlexSystem Smoothing Infusion range is really affordable, (by that I mean £4.99 per product), 5-step hair bonding regime that targets damaged hair to boost shine, texture and manageability to restore damaged hair to its smoothest, healthiest best requires powerful moisturising actives, micro-nutrients, proteins, and oils. 

Putting all that together, this combination is said to work across multiple challenges to tackle split ends, dullness, tangles and roughness. To make it so brilliant, the PlexSystem combines the high-performing actives that are needed to address the issues of damaged hair, so key ingredients such as: 
  • Pro-Vitamin B5, said to be one of the few vitamins that can penetrate deeply to nourish the hair cortex and scalp, 
  • Avena Sativa (Oat), which is rich in micronutrients, 
  • Saponin, Beta-Glucan and proteins to condition, smooth and strengthen hair. Botanical oils including Chia Seed Oil, Jojoba Oil and Argan Oil have been added for their nourishing and restorative properties, helping brittle hair regain its elasticity and shine whilst reducing frizz. 
Putting all of those together, these hero ingredients come together to work to rescue damaged hair by:
  • Deeply hydrating and nourishing
  • Helping restore damaged hair cuticles, helping brittle hair regain its elasticity
  • Strengthening hairs for a more supple and reinforced hair feeling
  • Helping protect hair from further damage.
Sp, the PlexSystem Smoothing Infusion range is a 5-step system that includes a shampoo, conditioner, a mask, an oil and a serum and they are designed to work together as routine to give you the best possible hair care routine - admittedly I have used them together and separately to give them a try.

STEP 1 – RINSE - PlexSystem Cleansing Shampoo, RRP £4.50 for 250ml
This is a deep cleansing shampoo whose job it is to gently remove dirt and oil build-up from the hair and scalp. It uses Avena Sativa and Glycerin which help to hydrate and smooth the hair follicles whilst effectively removing build-up on the scalp. Then there is the inclusion of Pro-Vitamin B5 which adds shine for stronger and healthier-looking hair.

To use, ensure your hair is wet through and then you only need a walnut sized amount, depending on your hair and then work it through from your scalp to the ends.  I use a scalp brush

STEP 2 - PROTECT – PlexSystem Nourishing Hair Mask, RRP £4.50 100ml
After shampooing, instead of reaching for your conditioner, you use the mask.  Deeply nourishing, this treatment mask helps to rebuild and restore dry, damaged hair caused by frequent styling. It is specially formulated with Jojoba Oil, Avena Sativa and Glycerin and they come together to hydrate each strand of hair by penetrating deep into the hair structure which in turn strengthens and leaves the hair feeling and looking smoother with enhanced shine. To us, apply and leave on for 20 minutes before rinsing with warm water.

This is a mask that packs a punch and it is the one step I use once a week, rather than every time I wash my hair, and what it does is really give my hair that soft, sleek feel.

STEP 3 – RESTORE - PlexSystem Hydrating Conditioner, RRP £4.50 250ml
This is a wonderfully nourishing conditioner and its job is to infuse hydration back into hair that is dry and lacklustre. Using Glycerin for hydration, Chia Seed Oil to lock in moisture and Pro-Vitamin B5 help to strengthen damaged hair, enhancing smoothness and shine.

This is a conditioner that does what it says and without weighing the hair down or leaving it feeling lank and in need of washing all over again. To be used on the lengths and ends, once applied, I leave it for a few minutes before rinsing with warm water.

At this stage, everything to wash and condion your hair in the shower has been completed and there is only two stages left and how you use them is down to what you feel your hair needs.

STEP 4 – SHINE - PlexSystem Restoring Hair Oil, RRP £4.50 30ml
This is a rich treatment oil which works to boost life back into your hair. It has been formulated with a host of amazing ingredients which includes Vitamin E, Sweet Almond and Chia Seed Oils.

You can use this formula on damp or dry hair depending on your preference and you need just a few drops into the palms of your hand to smooth and work through your hair.  This oil also helps to restore those dry hair cuticles by strengthening the hair structure and at the same time preventing the appearance of split ends.

STEP 5 – FINISH - PlexSystem Hair Styling Serum, RRP £4.50 90ml
This is a really lightweight styling serum which doesn't weigh the hair down or leave it feeling greasy to the touch, which for someone with greasy hair, is a relief. Again it is packed full of amazing ingredients such as Avena Sativa and Pro-Vitamin B5 so it  helps to control frizz and tame flyaways while  at the same time adding shine and prolonging your style.

I only need one pump of this serum which I work through my hair using my fingers to comb it through and with whatever is left on my hands, I use to smooth down the flyaways around the front of my hair line.

I am really impressed with this Plexsystem range and I hadn't expected to be at all.  For me, this is a range of products that I use when I want to style my hair without all the angst of dealing with dry, unmanageable hair that won't hold its curl or is a nightmare to smooth so I can straighten it.

The NEW HeadShock PlexSystem Smoothing Infusion range is available in both B&M and Savers.
