Hair loss can be a sensitive topic, but it’s one that affects more people than you might think — and for more reasons than you’d expect. Whether you’re noticing a little extra hair in the brush or dealing with more advanced thinning, understanding the why behind hair loss is the first step toward finding a solution. And at GM Scalp, we believe that healthy, beautiful hair always begins at the root — quite literally.

Let’s dive into the common causes of hair loss and how scalp care (especially through our Japanese Head Spa treatments) can play a powerful role in restoring balance and confidence.

1. Hormonal Changes
Fluctuations due to pregnancy, menopause, thyroid issues, or even stress can throw off your hair’s growth cycle, leading to shedding or thinning.

2. Stress & Lifestyle
Chronic stress, poor sleep, and high-pressure living can trigger a type of hair loss called telogen effluvium, where more hair than usual enters the shedding phase.

3. Genetics
Hereditary hair loss (also known as androgenic alopecia) is a common cause for both men and women. It tends to be gradual and pattern-based — but it’s not irreversible.

4. Poor Scalp Health
Build-up of oil, dead skin, product residue, and lack of proper circulation can clog hair follicles and stunt healthy growth.

5. Nutritional Deficiencies
Lack of essential nutrients like iron, vitamin D, zinc, and biotin can weaken your strands and impact new hair growth.

6. Harsh Products & Overstyling
Too much heat, chemical treatments, and tight hairstyles can cause damage at the follicle level, leading to breakage or traction alopecia.

Your scalp is the soil your hair grows from — if the scalp isn’t healthy, your hair can’t thrive. Here’s how taking care of your scalp can support better hair growth:

• Improves Circulation: Scalp massage stimulates blood flow, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to the follicles.

• Unclogs Follicles: Deep cleansing removes residue, sebum, and dead skin cells that can suffocate hair roots.

• Reduces Inflammation: A calm, balanced scalp is less likely to experience irritation that leads to shedding.

• Balances Oil Production: A healthy scalp maintains the right level of natural oils — not too dry, not too oily.

• Creates Ideal Conditions for Growth: When the scalp is nourished and clean, hair can grow stronger, longer, and healthier.
