Hair thinning?
Start with what’s changed.
More hair in the shower, a wider part or a ponytail that feels smaller? Each tells a different part of the story. Here’s what to look for, what to bring to an assessment and where EXO-GROW™ fits at h.AIRLAB Balmain.
Shedding, breakage or thinning?
Start with what changed and when you noticed it. More than one can happen at the same time.
More in the shower
Shedding
More full-length strands than usual on wash day or in the brush. Increased shedding can show up a few months after illness, surgery, childbirth or significant stress.
Short pieces in the sink
Breakage
Short, uneven pieces and frayed ends can point to strands snapping. Think about how often you use hot tools and whether the shorter pieces appear in the areas you style most.
More scalp showing
Thinning
Your part looks wider in photos or there’s less coverage at your crown or hairline. A gradual change in density can be worth checking even when wash day looks much the same.
Take three photos before your visit
Use your phone in soft daylight with clean, dry hair. Keep the part, lighting and angle the same when you repeat the photos. Save the date so you can compare them side by side later.
Make a note on your phone. Write down when you first noticed the change, any scalp symptoms, recent illness or medication changes, and your usual colour, extension and styling routine.

Before you book
Will anything be done at the first visit?
The first visit is an assessment and a conversation. Any in-studio sessions are scheduled separately once we’ve discussed suitability.
Can I keep colouring my hair?
Bring the dates of your last and next colour appointments. We can discuss how to schedule any service around colour and what to do if your scalp feels irritated.
How can I tell whether things are changing?
At h.AIRLAB, we use a trichoscope to examine your scalp and hair under magnification and monitor changes over time. Your own photos can also help you compare how your part or crown looks between visits. Results vary depending on the cause of the hair loss.
