“My bloodwork is normal, so why is my hair still falling out?”
Here’s the catch: hemoglobin can look fine while ferritin, your actual iron reserve, is already low enough to affect hair growth. Hair follicle cells divide faster than almost any other cell in the body, so they’re often the first to be cut off when resources run short. Add in cortisol pushing follicles into an early resting phase, and what you’re shedding today may reflect what your body went through three months ago (yes, there’s a delay). It’s fixable once you know what’s actually driving it.
Swipe to see the signs beyond shedding, what’s happening inside your follicles, and what helps rebuild it. Which of these have you noticed?
