Can Scalp Inflammation Cause Hair Loss?
If you’ve noticed more shedding than usual, the answer may lie deeper than your strands—it starts with scalp health. Research increasingly links chronic scalp inflammation with thinning hair. The good news? Once you understand the root cause, you can take steps to restore balance and support fuller, healthier hair.
🔬 What is Scalp Inflammation?
Scalp inflammation occurs when the skin on your scalp becomes irritated, often due to stress, environmental toxins, harsh hair products, or even diet-related triggers. The body responds by releasing inflammatory molecules such as Interleukin-6 (IL-6), which can disrupt the natural hair growth cycle and put stress on follicles.
Over time, scalp inflammation may contribute to:
-
Shortened growth cycles — hair sheds sooner than it should
-
Weakened follicles — less able to support strong strands
-
Increased visible thinning — shedding becomes more noticeable
🧪 How Inflammation Affects Hair Growth
Think of inflammation like “smoke from a fire.” If your scalp is inflamed, your follicles are under constant stress. Over time, inflammatory signals like IL-6 can contribute to follicle miniaturization — when follicles begin producing thinner, weaker hairs until growth slows down.
🌿 Natural Ways to Support Scalp Health
Unlike treatments that mask symptoms, supporting scalp health at the root helps restore balance over the long term. Here are some natural approaches:
-
Plant-powered nutrients – Our proprietary BLH308 blend of Persimmon Leaf, Green Tea, and Sophora Fruit is rich in antioxidants that help defend against oxidative stress and support a healthier scalp environment. In a published clinical study, participants using BLH308 reported improved scalp vitality and fuller-looking hair in just 8 weeks.
-
Nutritional support – Low ferritin (stored iron) and other nutrient gaps are commonly linked to increased shedding. Ensuring you have sufficient iron, vitamin D, and other essential nutrients helps maintain follicle health from within.
-
Gentle scalp care – Avoid harsh sulfates, silicones, or parabens that strip natural oils and disrupt balance.
-
Stress management – High stress elevates cortisol, which fuels inflammation. Practices like meditation, yoga, or walking can help.
-
Consistency – Follicles need time to recover. Visible improvements are most often seen after 8–12 weeks of consistent scalp and follicle support.
