Experiencing thinning hair or hair loss? Discover expert-backed solutions including nutrition, supplements and advanced treatments to restore hair density and scalp health.
Hair thinning affects millions of people, and if you’re reading this, you’re not alone. Whether you’ve noticed more hair in your brush, a wider parting, or reduced volume, the emotional impact can be significant. At The Hair Salon, we’ve seen a marked increase in clients seeking help for thinning hair—and we’re here to support you with both expertise and compassion.
Understanding Why Hair Thinning Happens
Hair loss rarely occurs without reason. Understanding the root cause is the first step toward finding an effective solution.
Common Causes of Hair Thinning
Stress and Illness
When your body experiences physical or emotional stress, it prioritises essential functions. Hair growth isn’t critical for survival, so it’s often the first thing to suffer. Post-Covid effects, chronic illness and acute stress can all trigger increased shedding.
Hormonal Changes
Pregnancy, perimenopause, menopause and hormonal imbalances significantly impact hair growth cycles. DHT (dihydrotestosterone), a hormone that increases with age, can shrink hair follicles in both men and women, leading to progressive thinning.
Nutritional Deficiencies
Hair follicles need specific vitamins, minerals and proteins to function optimally. Iron, vitamin D, B vitamins, zinc and protein deficiencies are common culprits behind poor hair health.
Medications and Medical Treatments
Certain medications, including some for weight loss, blood pressure and hormonal treatments, can affect hair growth as a side effect.
Lifestyle Factors
Fast-paced lifestyles, processed foods, skipped meals and inadequate sleep all take their toll. When your body isn’t properly nourished, your hair shows it first.
The Hair-Body Connection: Why Hair Is a Health Indicator
Think of your hair and nails as by-products of your overall health. When your body goes into survival mode – whether from illness, medication, or emotional strain – nutrients and energy are redirected to vital organs. Hair gets pushed to the back of the queue.
This is why you’ll often notice changes in hair condition first, followed by increased shedding weeks or months later. The good news? This means improving your internal health can directly improve your hair health.
Nutritional Support for Hair Growth
The Foundation: Diet and Lifestyle
A balanced diet rich in whole foods provides the building blocks for healthy hair:
- Protein (hair is made of keratin, a protein)
- Iron (carries oxygen to follicles)
- Omega-3 fatty acids (supports scalp health)
- Biotin and B vitamins (essential for hair structure)
- Vitamin D and zinc (regulate hair growth cycles)
However, modern life doesn’t always make optimal nutrition easy. Stress, dietary restrictions and busy schedules can create gaps that show up in your hair.
Targeted Supplementation: Glowwa
When diet alone isn’t enough, targeted supplementation can make a measurable difference. At The Hair Salon, we’ve partnered with Glowwa, a supplement range created by nutritionist Suzanne Cooper specifically for hair growth and mental wellbeing.
What Makes Glowwa Different?
Unlike generic multivitamins, Glowwa is formulated specifically for hair health with three targeted options:
- Glowwa Original – Suitable for everyone experiencing hair thinning
- Glowwa Meno – Designed for peri- and post-menopausal women
- Glowwa Men – Tailored for male pattern thinning
All formulas are vegan, naturally derived, and comprehensive enough that you won’t need multiple supplements. The Meno and Men versions include pumpkin seed extract and saw palmetto, which help block DHT – the hormone responsible for age-related follicle shrinkage.
Glowwa also offers a collagen powder that complements the supplements beautifully when added to smoothies or coffee. Together, they create a powerful foundation for hair recovery.
Expected Results
Most people notice visible improvements within three months of consistent use. This includes reduced shedding, improved hair texture and increased density.
Our entire team at The Hair Salon is Glowwa-trained and certified, so we can guide you toward the right formula for your specific situation.
Real Results from Real People
“Glowwa is a must for me. After having a hair transplant two years ago, I’ve used Glowwa to maintain my results, and my hair has never been thicker. It’s also boosted my mental health. I personally wouldn’t be without it.“
— Oliver Blackaby, 51
“I was advised to try HRT for perimenopause, but after six months it made no difference – in fact, I gained weight and my joint pain became unbearable. My daughter suggested Glowwa, mainly for my hair loss, and within a couple of months everything changed. My hair looked better than it had in years, the shedding stopped, and – most amazingly – I became pain-free for the first time in three years. Glowwa has been a complete game-changer. Truly life-changing!“
— Lucie, 51

This bond-building collection:
