We know the pursuit of great hair can sometimes come at a cost. Frequent chemical treatments – from colouring and bleaching to straightening and perms – can weaken the hair structure and disrupt scalp health, eventually leading to breakage, thinning, and hair fall. Our Hair Loss Serum is specifically designed to support over-processed hair, helping to repair damaged follicles, soothe the scalp, and promote stronger, healthier regrowth.
With science on your side, your hair can recover its strength and shine.
Chemical processing involves the use of strong formulations that alter the natural structure of the hair – whether for straightening, lightening, colouring, or relaxing. While effective for styling, these treatments can strip hair of its natural oils, weaken the protein bonds, and cause breakage or even hair loss over time.
When done repeatedly or improperly, the chemicals can also irritate the scalp and damage the follicles themselves, resulting in hair that sheds more easily or fails to grow back with its original density or texture. This type of hair loss often appears as overall thinning, uneven patches, or weakened hair prone to snapping near the root.
The hair strand is made up of keratin – a protein that gives it strength and elasticity. Chemical treatments break down these natural bonds to alter the hair’s shape or colour, but in doing so, they can leave it fragile and porous. This makes hair more prone to split ends, dryness, and breakage – particularly if treatments are done too frequently or without adequate aftercare.
The scalp can also be affected. Harsh chemicals may disrupt the skin barrier, causing inflammation, itching, or flaking, and over time, this irritation can impair the hair follicles’ ability to function properly. Without support, this can lead to gradual or patchy thinning.
If your hair is showing signs of chemical stress, it’s important to step back and focus on recovery. Here are some gentle ways to begin the healing process:
Small changes in your routine, when done consistently, can make a big difference in how your hair looks and feels.
