I lost so much hair post-Covid – a sample bottle completely stopped my locks from falling out & ended scalp flakes too
AFTER struggling with hair loss, a woman swears by a life-changing buy she happened to stumble upon that prevented future fallout.
She repaired her locks with whatever sorcery was contained in the sample bottle of shampoo she had discovered.
Redditor Lucy_lucidity shared her hair challenges following a lengthy health battle.
“I lost so much hair post-Covid with long Covid,” she said.
After trying various shampoos and treatments, without success, she finally found the answer to her pandemic hair loss prayers.
“I recently got a deluxe sample of Kerastase Genesis and I wound up buying a full bottle because it worked so well,” she said.
“I don’t expect it to make me grow new hair, but it has completely stopped my hair fall,” she added.
She “highly recommended” the long-lasting buy that also helped her get out of another hairy situation.
“It made my scalp flakes go away as well,” she continued.
She noted that “the little sample bottle lasted a whole month” – even with her “doing a double cleanse every three days.”
Talk about saving your mane and some money in the process.
And she wasn’t the only one loving the lock-strengthening steal.
“Came here to say Kerastase Genesis is amazing. Their scalp serum is great as well,” said one Redditor.
They had even figured out a way to get more bang for their buck.
“How I made my bottle last one year was I would use a different shampoo to really clean my hair,” they explained.
“Then I would go in with Genesis and leave it in for a while while conditioner sat on my ends.”
If you want to try the buy for yourself, Shein sells a smaller-sized bottle of the Kerastase Genesis Bain Hydra-Fortifiant Shampoo.
What causes hair loss?
Alexander Armand is a celebrity hairstylist and the creator of hair loss oil Flourish by Alexander Armand.
“Some common causes for hair loss include stress, alopecia, hereditary hair loss, chemical treatments, high tension hairstyles, diet, and certain medications,” Armand told The U.S. Sun.
“Androgenetic Alopecia which is also known as pattern baldness, is the most common cause of hair loss and is a genetic condition that causes hair thinning on the crown and top of the head in women, and thinning and receding hairlines in men.
“Telogen Effluvium is the technical term for a temporary form of hair loss that occurs when a large number of hair follicles enter the resting (telogen) phase due to stress, illness, surgery, childbirth, or major life changes.
“Hair typically grows back within a few months.
“Alopecia Areata is another form of alopecia that is an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks hair follicles, causing hair loss in patches.
“The severity varies, some people may lose all hair while others may experience regrowth.
“When it relates to your diet, deficiencies in nutrients such as iron, vitamin D, biotin, zinc, and protein can contribute to hair loss.
“Traction alopecia can occur due to tight hairstyles like ponytails, braids, or buns that put stress on the hair follicles.
“Excessive heat styling or chemical treatments can also damage hair.
“Also, certain medications, like chemotherapy drugs, blood thinners, and some antidepressants, can cause hair loss as a side effect.”
Originally priced at $13, it is now on sale for $8.10.
The original poster was also hoping to try the serum but had thoughts on the brand’s mask in the meantime.
“They sent a sample of the hair mask with the shampoo, and while I liked the mask, the shampoo seems to work just as well with my regular hair mask and regular conditioner,” she said.
Another user was also in the same hair-boosting boat.
“Good to know because I’ve been curious about the mask! The serum is insanely great, I can’t lie,” they said.
“It doesn’t change how my hair feels as in there’s no gunk or oiliness – I actually theorize it helps control my oil – but it does help with the scalp health and hair density,” they added.
