in Hair Loss and Hair Thinning
Hair loss and thinning are common concerns for many people, yet the root cause is often misunderstood. While external factors like styling and treatments play a role, nutrition and hormonal balance are two of the most influential factors affecting hair health.
At Lotus Hair Salon in Camberwell, Melbourne, we believe healthy hair starts from within — and understanding these factors is the first step toward real results.
Your hair follicles are highly active and require a consistent supply of nutrients to grow strong, thick hair. When the body lacks essential nutrients, hair growth is often one of the first things affected.
Key nutrients for healthy hair include:
Protein: Hair is made of keratin, a protein. Low protein intake can lead to weak, thinning hair.
Iron: Iron deficiency is one of the most common causes of hair shedding, especially in women.
Zinc & Biotin: Support hair structure and follicle strength.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Promote scalp health and reduce inflammation.
Vitamins A, D, and E: Play a role in follicle function and hair growth cycles.
Poor nutrition doesn’t usually cause immediate hair loss — instead, thinning often appears 2–3 months after prolonged deficiency, making it harder to connect cause and effect.
Hormones play a major role in regulating the hair growth cycle. When hormonal balance is disrupted, hair follicles can shift prematurely into the shedding phase.
Common hormonal triggers include:
Postpartum hormonal changes
Menopause and perimenopause
Thyroid disorders
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
High stress levels (elevated cortisol)
These changes can result in:
Diffuse hair thinning
Increased shedding
Weakened hair texture
Slower regrowth
Hormonal hair loss often requires a holistic approach, combining lifestyle awareness, professional guidance, and targeted hair care.
In most cases, hair thinning is caused by a combination of factors, including:
Nutritional deficiencies
Hormonal imbalance
Stress and lifestyle
Improper hair care routines
That’s why quick fixes and one-size-fits-all treatments rarely work. Identifying the underlying cause is essential for long-term improvement.
At Lotus Hair Salon, our experts look beyond the surface. We offer:
In-depth hair and scalp consultations
Guidance on nutrition-related hair concerns
Scalp and hair health assessments
Personalised treatment and care recommendations
Professional advice using high-quality salon products
Our goal is not just to improve how your hair looks today, but to support healthier, stronger hair long term.
Yes. Nutritional deficiencies—especially low levels of iron, protein, zinc, and vitamins—can disrupt the hair growth cycle and lead to increased shedding and thinning. Hair follicles need consistent nourishment to stay in the growth phase.
Hair thinning is often associated with hormonal changes such as:
Thyroid imbalance
Postpartum hormonal shifts
Menopause and perimenopause
PCOS
Elevated cortisol due to chronic stress
These changes can cause hair follicles to enter the shedding phase prematurely.
Hair loss usually appears 2–3 months after the initial trigger. This delay makes it difficult to immediately identify the cause, which is why professional consultation is important.
In mild cases, improving nutrition can help. However, most hair loss is multifactorial, meaning diet, hormones, stress, and hair care habits all play a role. A holistic and personalised approach delivers the best results.
Not always. Many types of hormonal hair loss are temporary or manageable, especially when addressed early. With the right guidance, treatments, and lifestyle adjustments, hair regrowth is often possible.
Both can be important. A medical professional can assess internal health and hormone levels, while a hair specialist can evaluate scalp condition, hair quality, and external contributing factors. At Lotus Hair Salon, we help bridge that gap with professional guidance.
Our team offers personalised hair and scalp consultations, expert advice, and tailored care plans to support healthier hair. We focus on understanding your unique situation rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions.
If you’ve noticed increased shedding, thinning, or changes in hair texture lasting more than a few weeks, it’s a good time to seek professional advice. Early assessment leads to better long-term outcomes.
If you’re experiencing hair loss or thinning and want real answers, professional guidance can make all the difference.
At Lotus Hair Salon in Camberwell, our experienced team is here to help you understand your hair and choose the right path forward.
