Understanding Hair Loss & Regrowth: Causes, Solutions, and Products That Work

Hair Loss: A Conversation Worth Having

Hair loss is more common than you might think—and it’s nothing to be ashamed of. At L’Elegance Salon, we create a welcoming environment where you can openly discuss your hair health with your stylist. The first step to solving hair loss is understanding what’s causing it.

While genetic hair loss may not be reversible, most other types can be treated—and hair can grow back with the right approach.

What Causes Hair Loss?

Hair loss or excessive shedding can result from a variety of factors, including:

• Dietary changes

• Vitamin deficiencies

• Postpartum (often within 3 months)

• Post-surgery or anesthesia (typically within 3 months)

• Illness

• Alopecia areata (an autoimmune condition)

• Thyroid imbalances

• Stress

• Lifestyle changes

• Allergic reactions to hair care products

If you can’t easily pinpoint the cause, we recommend getting bloodwork done to check for vitamin deficiencies or thyroid issues. Often, internal imbalances will show up externally—especially through your skin, nails, and hair.

Hair Regrowth Starts with the Right Products

Once you’ve identified a treatable cause, it’s time to commit to a consistent hair regrowth regimen. Here are some stylist-recommended product routines available at L’Elegance Salon:

RPM Hair Regrowth System (CBD-Infused)

• RPM Thickening Shampoo + Conditioner

• RPM Scalp Elixir (use nightly)

• RPM Scalp Spray (use in the morning)

The CBD in RPM products helps balance the scalp, reduce inflammation, and encourage faster hair regrowth by improving circulation and calming irritation.

Non-CBD Alternative (Safe for Breastfeeding Mamas)

• Kevin Murphy Stimulate-Me Wash + Rinse

• OR Kevin Murphy Plumping Wash + Rinse

• Kevin Murphy Thick Again Spray

These CBD-free options are ideal for postpartum hair loss and for those seeking gentler, yet effective thickening results.

Pro Tip: Brush Daily (Yes, Even Firmly)

Don’t be afraid to brush firmly. If hair is going to shed, it will shed—gentle brushing won’t stop it, and being too delicate may actually make things worse. A firm brushing routine stimulates blood flow to the scalp and strengthens hair follicles, promoting regrowth.

Skipping brushing or being overly cautious can weaken your scalp over time.

Be Patient: Real Results Take Time

Consistency is key. With the right regimen:

• Shedding should reduce within 2 weeks

• New growth is typically visible around 3 months

Stick to your routine, nourish your scalp, and trust the process. Hair regrowth doesn’t happen overnight, but it does happen with the right care.
