HAIR LOSS

🩸 Why Iron Deficiency Can Cause Hair Loss

Iron is essential for producing hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout your body. Oxygen is vital for the growth and repair of cells, including those that stimulate hair follicles.
When your body lacks iron, the reduced oxygen supply can slow or stop new hair growth — leading to hair thinning or shedding.

The good news: with proper treatment, both iron deficiency and related hair loss are usually reversible.

👀 What Does Iron Deficiency Hair Loss Look Like?

Iron deficiency–related hair loss often resembles male- or female-pattern baldness — gradual thinning on the crown or along the part line.
You might notice:

More hair than usual in your shower drain or brush
Thinning along the scalp or temples
In more advanced cases, visible bald spots

A study in the Journal of Korean Medical Science found that iron deficiency may cause hair to fall out in a pattern similar to genetic hair loss.

💊 How to Treat Iron Deficiency and Hair Loss

Most hair loss from iron deficiency is temporary.
The key is to correct the underlying iron deficiency:

Consult your doctor. They’ll likely check your ferritin level, a protein that stores iron in your body.
Iron supplements. If levels are low, your doctor may recommend supplements. Some people experience digestive side effects (like constipation), so talk to your doctor if that happens.
Diet changes. Incorporate more iron-rich and vitamin C–rich foods to help your body absorb iron efficiently.

🥦 Foods That Support Iron and Hair Health

Iron-rich foods: lean meats (beef, pork, salmon), eggs, spinach, peas, beans, lentils, dried fruit, and iron-fortified cereals.
Vitamin C foods: oranges, strawberries, broccoli, tomatoes, and melons — these help your body absorb more iron.

🌿 Hair Care Tips During Recovery

Wear hair loosely. Tight hairstyles can cause breakage.
Be gentle. Avoid aggressive brushing or washing.
Limit chemicals and dyes. If used, have them applied by a professional.
Avoid excessive heat. Reduce use of blow dryers, curling irons, or straighteners; if needed, apply a heat protectant.
Protect your hair. Use hats or scarves in harsh sun or wind.

✨ Outlook

Hair loss caused by iron deficiency typically reverses once your iron levels are restored.
A healthy, balanced diet and mindful hair care habits can help prevent future shedding and keep your hair — and body — strong.

🧖‍♀️ Scalp Health

It’s easy to neglect what we can’t see — and for many of us, that means our scalp. But ignoring scalp care can lead to issues that eventually demand attention: dryness, itchiness, irritation, and dreaded dandruff.
The truth is, all of these can be prevented with just a few minutes of regular care each week.

“Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp.”

No matter your hair type, caring for your scalp is essential. Like the skin on your face, your scalp ages and changes over time. In fact, “Healthy hair and a healthy scalp can change overnight.”
The key to preventing or treating scalp problems is understanding how to care for it — and sticking to a simple routine.

🔍 How to Tell If Your Scalp Is Healthy (or Not)

Your scalp works hard to support hair growth and regulate oil production — even when you’re not thinking about it.
And remember: scalp care isn’t just for those with dandruff or itchiness — it’s for everyone.

A healthy scalp should be free of:

Dryness or flakes
Redness or irritation
Burning or itching
Infections
Excessive oil buildup
Sun damage
Excessive hair loss

If you notice any of the above, a few adjustments to your hair care routine can make a big difference.
(For severe or persistent symptoms, consult a qualified dermatologist.)

💆‍♀️ How to Take Care of Your Scalp

We’ve gathered some tried-and-true scalp care methods to keep your scalp and hair in their healthiest state:

1. Wash Less Frequently

Washing your hair too often strips away natural oils (sebum) that protect your scalp.
This can lead to dryness — or even cause your scalp to overproduce oil to compensate.
Try washing 2–3 times a week instead of daily.

2. Stimulate Circulation

Massage your scalp regularly to boost blood flow. Improved circulation supports hair growth, helps heal minor damage, and nourishes the scalp from within.

3. Use Gentle, Sulfate-Free Products

Avoid harsh shampoos and chemical-heavy hair products.
Sulfates strip away essential oils and can irritate the skin.
Opt for sulfate-free formulas that cleanse without drying — such as Rossano Ferretti Parma’s range, known for softening hair while maintaining scalp balance.

4. Try a Professional Scalp Treatment

Scalp-specific products can exfoliate, soothe, and rebalance the skin.
When you find a product that works for your scalp — hold onto it!
Regular scalp treatments keep the foundation for healthy hair strong and nourished.

🧴 Caring for Different Scalp Types

For Dry Scalps:

Use a gentle, moisturising shampoo or scalp scrub
Follow with a deep hydrating conditioner or mask to lock in moisture

For Oily Scalps:

Resist the urge to use strong clarifying shampoos
Instead, alternate between a gentle sulfate-free shampoo one day and a light exfoliating scalp scrub the next

🌿 Introducing Scalp Scrub — A Must-Have for Healthy Hair

A well-formulated cleansing scalp scrub is a game-changer for scalp care.
Used weekly (or twice a week), it:

Deeply cleans and refreshes the scalp
Unclogs pores and removes buildup
Soothes irritation
Nourishes scalp skin cells
Promotes shiny, healthy hair growth

Because great hair doesn’t just happen — it grows from a healthy foundation.
