National Hair Loss Awareness Month
How McGills Hairdressing in Edinburgh Can Support Your Hair Loss Journey
As we observe National Hair Loss Awareness Month, it’s the perfect time to explore the science behind hair loss and thinning, and how McGills Hairdressing in Edinburgh can help through tailored, professional solutions.
Common Causes of Hair Loss
- Genetics & Hormones: Androgenetic alopecia, commonly known as male‑ or female‑pattern baldness, is often hereditary.
- Medical Conditions & Stress: Thyroid issues, autoimmune disorders (like alopecia areata), nutritional deficiencies, illness or prolonged stress can all contribute.
- Scalp Health & Breakage: Conditions like dandruff, tension from styling or chemical damage can weaken follicles and lead to breakage or thinning.
The Impact of Hair Loss
Experiencing hair loss or thinning can be emotionally challenging. It often affects self-esteem, personal image and overall confidence. At McGills, we understand how deeply this resonates—and we’re here to help.
Professional Solutions at McGills Hairdressing, Edinburgh
At our eco‑friendly salon in Tollcross, Edinburgh, we offer discreet, effective and luxurious hair solutions to address thinning or loss with natural results.
Hair Extensions for Volume & Density
Our premium Archie Lloyd nano extensions and bespoke weaves offer an excellent solution when thinning or breakage is your concern — not just length. Nano rings are lightweight and discreet, ideal for fine hair and subtle volume boosts; weaves and mesh integration systems provide fuller, blended results with natural movement.
These systems are made to match your colour and texture, and with expert fitting and aftercare, can last 8–12 weeks.
