5 Other Ways to Support Your Scalp + Reduce Shedding

Using a targeted serum like Lock Drops is a powerful first step, but caring for your hair starts beyond the bottle. Here are 5 easy, everyday ways to help reduce hair shedding and keep your strands thriving.

1. Eat a Balanced Diet

Hair health starts from within. Load up on protein, healthy fats, and key nutrients like iron, zinc, biotin, and vitamin D. Consider a hair supplement if you're not getting enough through food.

2. Switch to a Silk Pillowcase

Cotton creates friction that can tug on strands overnight. Silk = less breakage, less frizz, and a smoother start to your day. Try our 100% Vegan Satin Pillowcase available in Standard and King sizes or our limited-edition Satin Turban. 

3. Ease Up on Accessories

Tight ponytails, clips, and elastic bands can create tension at the root and lead to traction-related shedding. Opt for looser styles and gentle accessories when possible. We have loads of hair-friendly accessories available. 

4. Keep Your Scalp Clean

A healthy scalp = a better environment for hair to grow. Use the HG Clarifying Rinse or the Micro-Exfoliating Scalp Scrub weekly to remove buildup and excess oil — letting your follicles breathe and thrive.

5. Check with Your Doctor

If you’re experiencing excessive shedding, it might be worth a visit to your doctor or dermatologist to rule out underlying causes like hormonal shifts, stress, or nutrient deficiencies that can all affect your hair growth cycle.
