GLP-1s, Hair Shedding & Supporting Your Scalp
If you’re on a GLP-1 medication like Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Mounjaro® or Zepbound® and noticing a bit more hair in the shower than usual, don’t panic. You’re not alone, and this is usually temporary.
What’s Happening
Hair shedding can happen when your body undergoes major changes, such as rapid weight loss or other major lifestyle adjustments. This can cause more hair than usual to naturally fall out.
The good news? In most cases, hair will gradually return to its normal growth cycle over time.
Supporting Your Hair and Scalp
I reccomend this gentle, consistent approach using professional haircare products designed to support the scalp and improve the appearance of hair density.
Step 1: Intensive Density Support
Kérastase Densifique Cure Densité
How To Use:
- Without removing or puncturing the protective cap, position the applicator vertically on top of the bottle and twist until it’s fully tightened and secure.
- Apply the product using circular motions to the areas prone to thinning.
- Work through your entire scalp section by section, repeating each area three times for optimal coverage.
- For added relaxation, gently massage your scalp with your fingertips from the hairline toward the crown.
- Do not rinse.
I reccomend doing this routine twice!
What It Does:
- Supports the scalp and hair appearance
- Helps improve the look of hair density and thickness
- Works alongside your body’s natural hair growth process
Step Two: Daily Maintenance
Kérastase Spécifique Spray Stimuliste
How To Use:
- Spray approximately ten pumps onto dry or towel-dried problem areas.
- Leave in and style as usual.
What It Does:
- Support scalp’s health
- Helps maintain the appearance of density between treatments
- Can complement other haircare routines
Budget-Friendly Alternative: Serioxyl Advanced Densifying Serum
If you’re looking to boost hair density without breaking the bank, Serioxyl Advanced Densifying Serum is a fab little helper. Designed to reactivate dormant follicles and give thinning hair a fuller appearance, it’s lightweight, easy to use daily, and plays along nicely with your other scalp treatments!
Key Tips for Healthy Hair
- Keep the scalp stimulated with our Pomme Scalp Massager; it can be used during your shampoo, or you can use it on dry hair!
- Once a week, use the Kérastase Fusio Scrub Energisant instead of your shampoo to remove impurities and buildup!
- Avoid tight ponytails and sleeping with wet hair!
A Quick Note:
Everyone’s hair journey is different! Hair shedding related to weight changes or lifestyle shifts can vary from person to person. The products mentioned here are designed to support scalp health and the appearance of fuller hair, but they are not medical treatments. If hair loss is sudden, severe, or ongoing, I reccomend speaking with your healthcare professionals.
The Takeaway
GLP-1-related hair shedding is usually temporary. Consistent scalp support with products like Densifique Cure Densité and Spray Stimuliste, combined with a balanced lifestyle, can help you maintain a healthy-looking scalp and hair appearance while your hair naturally regrows.
