Hormonal Imbalances & Hair Health

Did you know that hormones play a MAJOR part in how our bodies function? Sometimes, these hormones can be off balance, affecting things like hair growth.


Conditions like adrenal gland disorders or ovarian tumors can mess with our hormones, making hair growth a bit tricky.


So, if you've been wondering why your hair seems to be on a roller coaster, it might be worth checking in with your doctor to see if these hormone heroes are in balance.


It isn't just the thyroid that can be affected when it comes to hormones.


Some other medical conditions related to hormones are:


Adrenal Gland Disorders

Our adrenal glands, located on top of the kidneys, produce hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. Disorders affecting these glands can disrupt the hormone balance in the body. Conditions such as Cushing's syndrome, where there's an excess of cortisol, or Addison's disease, causing a shortage of hormones, can impact hair growth. In Cushing's syndrome, excessive hair growth may occur, while Addison's disease can lead to hair loss.


Ovarian Tumors

Ovaries are essential for producing hormones like estrogen and progesterone. Tumors in the ovaries can disturb the normal hormone production, affecting hair growth. Conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) involve the presence of cysts on the ovaries, leading to an imbalance in hormones. This imbalance, particularly increased androgen levels, can result in hair thinning or excessive hair growth in unwanted areas.


Postpartum Hair Loss

After giving birth, some women experience postpartum hair loss. This is often related to hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy. During pregnancy, increased levels of hormones like estrogen prevent hair from falling out as it normally would. After childbirth, hormone levels drop, leading to the shedding of excess hair. This is a temporary condition, and most women notice their hair returning to normal within a few months.


If you notice unusual changes in your hair growth, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional. They can help identify the underlying cause of hormonal imbalances and recommend appropriate treatments to address the issue.

Have always loved your products!

I started using your products about four years ago, my hair grew like crazy. I had to keep coloring it to keep the gray out, but decided to go Natural, my gray came in beautifully, and my hair is still growing. Thank you Nae Nae.

Complete Hair Boost System

I normally wear my hair in the two strands twist without or without hair added. My edges became so thin, my hair would tangle so much be so hard to untangle and I have tried many hair products to make my hair nice. I want it beautiful.
