How To Effectively Help Your Hair Loss Clients In 3 Steps

The four words “I can help you” are transformative enough for a stylist to turn a guest into a client for life. Whether your client is openly talking about their hair loss experience or as a professional you’re noticing their hair is thinning, here’s how to help your client reduce hair loss in three easy steps.

1. The Two Factors That Contribute To Hair Loss

Before you can help your client, you have to understand the types of hair loss and what contribute to them. According to Rene Furterer National Education Manager Chuck Hezekiah, there are two types of hair loss your client could be experiencing, here’s what they are:

• Progressive Hair Loss: Age-related hair thinning also known as androgenetic alopecia characterized by a progressive and localized decrease of the capillary mass.

• Reactional Hair Loss: The temporary increase of hair loss in the telogen phase triggered by seasonal changes and hormonal disturbances like childbirth, stress, fatigue, an unbalanced diet, chemotherapy and more.

While progressive hair loss is chronic, reactional is temporary but according to Chuck, you can lose up to 40 percent of your hair in three months as a result of reactional thinning. “With something like stress, what happens is it creates more cortisol in the body,” says Chuck. “And what it does is it takes the normal antigen, catagen, telogen, grow, rest, shed [phases] and forces everything into the telogen and exogen phase, which means it sheds faster and without control.”

However, whether you’re dealing with a progressive or reactional hair loss client, you can still guide them to replenish their hair through proper consultation and product solutions.
