Severe Hair Loss from Chemical Trauma, Relaxers and Weaves: Rosie’s Story

Rosie’s hair loss issues: Manual damage and chemical trauma

Rosie had hit her 50s when she came to us distressed about her severely thinning hair. Years of chemical relaxer use and tight weaves had caused extreme damage, resulting in a dramatic 70% reduction in her hair density. Despite having a healthy scalp, the long-term chemical trauma and mechanical tension had left her hair brittle, weak, and significantly thinner, impacting her overall appearance and self-esteem. Rosie wanted to regain her hair’s natural fullness and restore its health.

Rosie’s hair loss treatment plan

For Rosie, we developed an intensive 12-month treatment plan using 20% Vitastim and 20% Biostim, applied twice daily, morning and evening. This high-strength formula was specifically designed to repair the severe damage caused by chemical treatments and manual styling. It aimed to strengthen the weakened hair, stimulate dormant follicles, and promote new growth, targeting both the health of her scalp and the structure of each hair strand.

Rosie’s outcome

After a year of dedicated treatment, Rosie’s hair made a remarkable recovery. Her hair density had improved significantly, and the overall health and strength of her hair were restored. Once thin and fragile, her hair became much fuller, healthier, and less prone to breakage, giving her back her confidence and a revitalised appearance.

“Rosie’s case was one of the most severe we’ve treated due to the extent of chemical and manual damage. But with a focused plan and her determination, we were able to reverse the hair loss and bring back the healthy, strong hair she thought she had lost for good.”

Severe Chemical Damage/Traction Alopecia, what is it?

Traction Alopecia is hair loss caused by constant tension on the hair, such as that created by an over-tight ponytail, plaiting or using too-tight rollers to style the hair. The action of pulling on the hair over a long period of time results in the gradual shrinking of the hair follicle, and so the hairs produced become finer and finer.
