Which type of iron should you take?💊
Not all iron supplements are created equal and choosing the right one can make a big difference to how your body and your hair responds!

Here’s a quick breakdown 👇

Iron Bisglycinate
Gentle on the stomach and highly absorbable
Less likely to cause nausea or constipation
Great for long term use or sensitive tummies

Iron Sulphate
The most common and widely prescribed form
Can cause digestive upset or constipation in some people
Effective but not always the easiest to tolerate

Iron Fumarate
High in elemental iron meaning a strong dose
Sometimes easier to tolerate than sulphate
Still may cause some side effects in sensitive individuals
Always test your levels before supplementing and choose a form that works with your body, not against it. The right iron can support healthy hair growth, better energy and overall wellbeing. It’s all about finding the one that fits you!🤗

Struggling with greasy hair?💦

Here’s how you can help manage oil production👇

💆‍♀️ Stop massaging your scalp - although it’s great for circulation, it can overstimulate sebum.
🚿 Turn the shower temperature down - hot water encourages oil production.
🧴 Use a stronger shampoo once a week - gentle is great but if your scalp is oily, a sulphate shampoo can help reset things.

Sometimes the littlest tweaks can make the biggest difference!

But before you lose hope or book that trim out of frustration, let’s look at why your hair might not be growing…

1️⃣ Genetics – Your growth cycle might simply be shorter. Some people’s hair naturally stops at a certain length.
2️⃣ Breakage – Your hair is growing but constant snapping at the ends makes it look like it’s not.
3️⃣ Hair Loss – If you’re shedding more than usual, something deeper (like stress, hormones, or scalp health) could be going on.

Please consult a professional to figure out which one applies to you before changing your routine! Once you know what’s really happening, you can make a plan that actually works for you and your hair💆‍♀️

Did you know eyebrow thinning or gaps aren’t always from overplucking? 💭

It can hint at something deeper:

- Zinc deficiency - essential for hair follicle function, its lack has been linked to eyebrow and eyelash hair loss
- Autoimmune issues (commonly alopecia areata or frontal fibrosing alopecia) - where the body attacks its own hair follicles, sometimes starting in the brows
- Hypothyroidism - classically causes thinning of the outer third of the brow (Hertoghe’s sign)

Don’t dismiss eyebrow hair loss, your brows might be whispering a clue. ✨
