Is this you?
Or maybe your hair just doesn’t feel like yours anymore.
You’re not imagining it. And you’re not alone. Shedding and thinning are incredibly common — especially during hormonal shifts, stress, and nutrient depletion.
You’re noticing:
More hair in the brush or shower
A widening part line
Thinner-looking ponytail
Temple or hairline thinning
Increased shedding during hormonal events
Flat or lifeless roots
Slower regrowth or fewer baby hairs
Why PCOS affects hair
PCOS often involves hormonal patterns that can influence the hair cycle in two key ways:
Androgen Sensitivity
Elevated androgens can shorten the hair growth phase (Anagen) and shrink hair follicles, particularly around the temples and crown.
- Shortened growth cycles
- Follicle miniaturization
- Visible temple recession
Stress & Insulin Pathways
Metabolic stress and fluctuating insulin levels can trigger inflammation, diverting nutrients away from your hair follicles to vital organs.
- Cortisol-induced shedding
- Nutrient deprivation
- Scalp inflammation
Understanding these pathways is empowering — because each one can be supported.
Why thinning & shedding happen
Hair thinning and shedding usually come from five core pathways — and most women
experience more than one at the same time
Hormonal
Changes
Impacts from Postpartum, Menopause, PCOS, Thyroid, and Post-pill transitions.
Stress & Cortisol
Elevated cortisol levels can push hair follicles into a resting phase prematurely.
Nutrient
Gaps
Deficiencies in iron, biotin, and essential minerals starving the root.
Scalp Imbalance
Inflammation or sebum buildup disrupting the delicate follicle environment.
Fibre
Weakness
Structural damage leading to mid-shaft breakage and loss of density.
Texture Changes Hair may become finer, drier or more brittle.
Slower Growth Hormonal shifts often extend regrowth time.
Fibroblast Fatigue (Internal & External Stress) Increased stress levels can drive shedding cycles.
Diffuse Thinning More visible at the crown and part line.
Reduced Volume Flattened roots are extremely common. All of these can be supported with a consistent, hormone-aware routine.
