Hair Loss Guides
Hair loss is frightening — especially when you don’t know what’s causing it or whether it will stop. These guides are written by Hair GP to give you clear, specialist-level answers to the questions women search for most. Each one explains what’s really happening, when to worry, and what to do next.
All services are delivered by Dr Amy, our lead clinician, at our CQC-registered clinic in Parsons Green, London. Because Hair GP is doctor-led rather than trichologist-led, we can diagnose, prescribe, and monitor your treatment under one roof — without referring you elsewhere for the parts that matter most.
If you already know what’s going on and want clinical detail, visit our conditions hub. If you’re not sure where to start, these guides will help you make sense of it.
Understanding Your Hair Loss
The starting point for most women — answering the questions that keep you up at night. What’s causing it, is it normal, and what can actually help.
Hair Transplant Cost UK
What a transplant really costs in the UK, what drives the price, and the honest truth about Turkey packages — including the five checks that expose a bad quote.
Hair Loss Shampoos
Ketoconazole, caffeine, rosemary and the rest, rated by actual evidence — what helps, what is purely cosmetic, and what your money would do better spent on.
Why Is My Hair Falling Out?
A doctor’s guide to the most common reasons women lose hair — from hormones and stress to iron deficiency and thyroid problems. Understand what’s happening and when to seek help.
How to Regrow Thinning Hair
What actually works — and what’s a waste of money. From minoxidil and finasteride to PRP and supplements, a specialist breakdown of evidence-based treatments for women.
Hair Loss Blood Tests
Your GP ran “normal” bloods but you’re still losing hair? Find out which tests actually matter — ferritin, thyroid, hormones, vitamin D — and what the results really mean for your hair.
Hair Loss By Life Stage
Hair loss hits differently depending on when it happens. Whether you’re in your twenties or going through menopause, the causes and treatments vary — and so does what you need to hear.
Hair Loss in Your 20s & 30s
You’re “too young” for hair loss — except you’re not. FPHL can start in your twenties, and early intervention makes the biggest difference. This guide covers the unique causes and treatment options for younger women.
Postpartum Hair Loss
Clumps in the shower, hair on the pillow, a receding hairline that appeared overnight. Postpartum shedding is normal — but when does “normal” end and something else begin? A specialist guide for new mothers.
Menopause Hair Loss
Over half of women experience hair changes during menopause. HRT alone rarely fixes it. This guide explains why menopause triggers thinning, what treatments actually work, and when to see a specialist.
Hair Loss Causes & Triggers
Specific triggers that cause or accelerate hair loss in women. Each guide explains the mechanism, the evidence, and what you can do about it.
Stress and Hair Loss
Yes, stress really can make your hair fall out — but it’s more complicated than most people think. This guide explains telogen effluvium, alopecia areata, and why the hair loss itself becomes the biggest stressor.
Hormones and Hair Loss
DHT, oestrogen, testosterone, thyroid, the pill, HRT — hormones control your hair more than almost anything else. This guide explains which hormones matter, how they cause thinning, and what to do about it.
Vitamin Deficiency Hair Loss
Iron, ferritin, vitamin D, B12, zinc — deficiencies in any of these can trigger or worsen hair loss. But “normal” on a GP blood test doesn’t always mean optimal for your hair. Here’s what the numbers really mean.

Consultations
A specialist consultation is where every treatment plan begins. Our doctor assesses your hair loss using scalp microscopy, reviews your blood work, and gives you a diagnosis and personalised treatment plan — all in a single appointment.
Not Sure Where to Start?
If you’re not sure which type of hair loss you have — or whether you need medical treatment, surgery, or something else entirely — a consultation is the place to begin. Many women have more than one type of hair loss contributing to their thinning, and only a clinical assessment with dermoscopy can distinguish between them.
Every consultation at Hair GP is with a doctor who specialises in women’s hair loss. You’ll leave with a diagnosis, a clear explanation of your options, and a treatment plan — not a sales pitch.
Understand what's causing your hair loss
A 50-minute consultation with Dr Amy includes scalp microscopy, and a personalised treatment plan—giving you definitive answers rather than continued guessing.
