🌱 New Video: "The Hidden Causes of Hair Loss" 🌱

Hair loss is rarely just about genetics or hair care products.
It's about what's happening deep inside β€” our nutrition, our emotions, our overall health.

In my new video, I share my personal journey β€” through over 20 different past causes that triggered my own hair loss episodes.

From hidden nutritional deficiencies, the impact of medications, emotional stress, trauma, hormonal shifts, to the often-overlooked effects of modern hair care routines β€” I walk you through what really happens beneath the surface.

This is not about quick fixes.
It's about understanding the true root causes and finding gentle, natural ways to support healing. 🌸

πŸ’¬ If you're experiencing hair loss, you're not alone.
Watch the full video to learn about the real triggers and how to nurture your hair and yourself with care and patience.

I would love to hear your experiences in the comments! Your story matters!
If you know someone who struggles with hair loss, feel free to share it with them.
Hopefully, it helps them too.
