Thinning hair can feel confusing, stressful, and even emotional — especially when the shedding seems sudden or you’re unsure what’s causing it. The good news? Whether it’s hormonal, stress-related, genetic, or the result of environmental factors, there are effective hair loss treatment options available today.
This guide explores everything you need to know if you’re experiencing thinning hair — from identifying the cause to choosing the best hair loss treatments. You’ll also learn how PURA D’OR products support healthier, stronger, thicker-looking hair naturally.
Before choosing the best treatment for hair loss, it's essential to understand why your hair is thinning. Different causes require different solutions- and treating the wrong cause can lead to frustration.
Hormones are one of the biggest contributors to hair loss- especially:
After pregnancy
Perimenopause and menopause
Thyroid disorders
High cortisol (stress hormone)
This is why hair loss treatment for women over 40 often focuses on hormonal support, nutritional supplementation, and medical therapies that counteract follicular miniaturization.
2. Genetic Factors
Also known as androgenetic alopecia, hereditary hair loss affects:
Men as early as their 20s
Women typically starting in their 30s–40s
This type of loss responds best to clinically proven treatments such as minoxidil and finasteride (for men).
Stress-related thinning (telogen effluvium) triggers sudden shedding.
This is common in:
Post-surgery recovery
Illness (including hair loss after COVID)
Major emotional stress
Sudden diet changes or rapid weight loss
The good news? This form of loss is usually temporary with proper support.
Key nutrients that support healthy hair include:
Iron
Vitamin D
Zinc
Biotin
Omega-3 fatty acids
Protein
If your diet lacks these, a natural hair loss treatment approach may bring noticeable improvement.
Patchy thinning—known as alopecia areata—happens when the immune system attacks hair follicles.
This requires targeted medical treatment.
If your hair is thinning, knowing the type of hair loss you have will help you choose a hair loss treatment that actually works.
Here’s how to figure it out:
Receding hairline (common in men under 30)
Thinning at the crown
Widening part (common in women)
Gradual miniaturization
Sudden shedding
Diffuse thinning across the whole scalp
Loss triggered by an event (stress, childbirth, illness)
Handfuls of hair coming out while washing
Small round bald spots
Beard or brow hair loss
Rapid onset
If you’re unsure, a dermatologist or trichologist can perform:
Scalp exam
Blood tests
Pull test
Hormonal panel
Thyroid evaluation
Once you know the cause, you can choose the most effective hair loss treatment for your situation.
This section covers all categories of hair loss treatments, from natural solutions to clinical approaches — and how PURA D’OR fits into each strategy.
PURA D’OR offers some of the most recognized natural hair loss treatment options on the market, known for clean ingredients, botanical DHT blockers, and scalp-nourishing formulas.
Combines biotin, pumpkin seed, nettle, argan oil & more
Supports thicker, fuller-looking hair
Great for early-to-moderate thinning
Designed for stressed, sensitive scalps
Ideal for telogen effluvium or hair loss after COVID
These shampoos can be used daily or alternate days depending on your hair’s needs.
Conditioners don’t regrow hair — but they reduce breakage, protect weak strands, and add volume, which is essential for anyone managing thinning.
Options include:
PURA D’OR Biotin Conditioner
PURA D’OR Deep Moisturizing Conditioner
PURA D’OR Healing Conditioner
These formulas help keep hair strong, soft, and less prone to shedding from mechanical damage.
Scalp serums are one of the most effective hair loss treatments at home, especially when used consistently.
PURA D’OR Hair Thinning Therapy Energizing Scalp Serum
Helps rebalance the scalp, soothe irritation, and improve follicle hydration.
These can be used daily or a few times per week.
PURA D’OR is especially known for its premium organic oils, which play an important role in natural hair restoration.
Organic Castor Oil
Supports the appearance of thicker brows, lashes & hair
Ideal for patchy thinning
100% Pure Rosemary Oil
Known for stimulating scalp circulation
A natural alternative that studies have compared to minoxidil
Organic Argan Oil
Nourishes dry, damaged hair
Helps reduce breakage
Peppermint Essential Oil
Energizes scalp & boosts blood flow
These oils can be used alone or combined for DIY scalp massage.
If your dermatologist recommends clinical therapies such as minoxidil, microneedling, PRP, or laser therapy, PURA D’OR products can enhance your results without interfering.
Minoxidil → Follow with Gold Label Shampoo to strengthen new growth
Microneedling → After 24 hours, use Argan Oil or Aloe Vera products to soothe
LLLT Laser Caps → Maintain a clean, stimulated scalp using Scalp Therapy Serum
PRP → Combine with gentle formulas like Advanced Therapy
This combination helps create an environment for optimal regrowth.
Because thinning hair affects different groups in different ways, here’s how to adapt your plan.
Common causes:
Hormonal changes
Thyroid fluctuations
Genetic factors

Common habits that worsen hair loss include:
Tight hairstyles
Overuse of heat tools
Hot showers
Harsh chemical dyes
Skipping conditioner (leads to breakage that mimics thinning)
Using PURA D’OR conditioners and oils helps protect hair from breakage.
Realistic timelines are as followers but individual results may vary:
2–4 weeks: Less shedding
8–12 weeks: Healthier, stronger hair
3–6 months: Noticeable improvements in fullness
6–12 months: Significant density increases
Consistency matters more than intensity. Daily or near-daily use yields the best results.
