When Hair Loss Becomes Personal
Hair loss is one of those things you don’t really think about until it happens to you. For some, it starts with a few extra strands on the pillow. For others, it’s a sudden patch on the scalp that won’t seem to grow back. And for many women, like me, it’s tied to some of the most vulnerable seasons of life, pregnancy, IVF, postpartum recovery.
I’m Carley, co-founder of Boombiotics, and my own journey through postpartum thinning and hairline loss is what sparked the creation of our brand. As salon owners, my wife Ciara and I saw women coming in every day asking the same questions:
“Why is my hair so thin all of a sudden?”
“Are there products for thin hair that actually work?”
“What can I do about these patches on my scalp?”
These questions weren’t just about hair. They were about confidence, identity, and the way we see ourselves in the mirror.
So, can natural hair growth products really help? Let’s look at this together, through science, through lived experience, and through the solutions we’ve built to help women like you.
Understanding Hair Loss: More Than Just a Cosmetic Issue
Why Does Hair Thin in the First Place?
Hair thinning isn’t caused by a single factor. It’s often a mix of things: hormones, stress, nutrient deficiencies, scalp inflammation, or even the gut microbiome.
For women, common triggers include:
Postpartum changes after pregnancy.
Hormonal shifts during menopause.
Medical treatments like IVF drugs or chemotherapy.
Stress or illness disrupting the body’s balance.
Chemical overload from harsh shampoos, dyes, and styling products.
What often surprises people is that hair thinning isn’t just “bad luck.” It’s your body sending a message that something deeper is out of balance.
Alopecia and Patches: The Emotional Weight
When you hear “alopecia,” it can feel frightening. Alopecia simply means hair loss, but for many, it comes in the form of visible patches on the scalp. These patches might be small at first, like a coin-sized area where hair simply refuses to grow. But they carry a huge emotional weight.
I remember the first time I noticed my own thinning hairline after IVF treatment. It wasn’t just vanity. It was the shock of looking in the mirror and not recognising myself. If you’ve ever run your hand across your scalp and felt more skin than hair, you know exactly what I mean.
That’s why the search for solutions becomes so urgent. And why we asked: Is there a natural way to tackle alopecia, thinning, and scalp patches that doesn’t rely on harsh chemicals?
The Problem with Many Hair Growth Products
Walk into any beauty aisle and you’ll find hundreds of “miracle” shampoos, oils, and serums. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: many are packed with sulfates, parabens, silicones, and synthetic fragrances.
These chemicals might give temporary shine, but they can also:
Strip natural oils from the scalp.
Cause irritation or allergies.
Build up and block follicles.
Interfere with hormone balance.
The irony? Some hair growth products can actually make thinning worse over time.
At Boombiotics, we knew that wasn’t good enough. Hair loss is already hard enough, the last thing you need is to rub floor-cleaner-grade chemicals into your scalp.
A Holistic Approach: Healing Hair from the Inside Out
Why Gut Health Matters
Here’s the part most people don’t talk about: your gut has a huge impact on your hair.
When your gut microbiome (the balance of bacteria in your digestive system) is out of sync, your body can’t absorb nutrients properly. That means even if you’re taking biotin or eating a balanced diet, your hair might not be getting what it needs.
Research has linked gut dysbiosis to conditions like alopecia areata. And in our salons, we saw it firsthand: women struggling with both digestion and hair health.
That’s why we created HELPGUT®, a unique probiotic blend included in the Boombiotics Hair Growth Vitamin. By restoring gut balance, we help your body actually absorb the nutrients your follicles are crying out for.
Meet the Boombiotics 5-Piece Hair Growth Kit
When we couldn’t find an all-in-one solution that felt safe, natural, and effective, we decided to make it ourselves.
Our 5-step system tackles every angle of hair growth:
Hair Growth Shampoo – cleans gently, stimulates the scalp.
Healing Conditioner – hydrates and strengthens weak strands.
Nourishing Hair Mask – repairs damage and restores shine.
Scalp + Hair Oil – lightweight moisture with rosemary, castor, and nutrient-rich botanicals.
Advanced Hair Growth Vitamin – powered by HELPGUT® probiotics for inside-out results.
It’s not just about masking symptoms. It’s about treating the root causes, gut health, scalp health, and follicle strength, all at once.
Do Natural Products Actually Work for Alopecia and Thinning?
Let’s be clear: no product can guarantee overnight regrowth, and anyone who promises that isn’t being honest. Hair growth is a process. But natural, science-backed products can absolutely help by:
Reducing scalp inflammation so follicles can thrive.
Restoring nutrient balance for stronger, thicker hair.
Creating the right conditions for regrowth.
Supporting emotional confidence along the way.
One of our customers, a mum dealing with postpartum patches, told us she finally started seeing baby hairs sprouting along her hairline after three months on the kit. For her, it wasn’t just about hair, it was about feeling like herself again.
Expert Tips for Supporting Hair Regrowth
Even with the right products, your daily habits matter. Here are some practical steps we recommend in our salons and through Boombiotics:
1. Feed Your Hair from Within
Prioritise foods rich in zinc, iron, and omega-3s. Pair this with a probiotic to help absorption.
2. Massage Your Scalp Daily
Use a nourishing oil (like our Hair Growth Oil) to stimulate blood flow. Even 5 minutes makes a difference.
3. Ditch Harsh Chemicals
If your shampoo ingredients look more like a cleaning product than a plant, it’s time to switch.
4. Manage Stress
Hair follicles are sensitive to cortisol. Yoga, breathwork, or even a daily walk can support your scalp as much as your mind.
5. Be Consistent
Hair growth takes time, usually 90 days to see real changes. Photograph your progress to stay motivated.
