I came across an interesting post yesterday.
It said, "The customer isn't king. The producer is king."
It struck me because the poster was 100% on point.
A lot of beauty brands look very different.. Indie vibes, luxury looks, clean beauty, edgy packaging...
What you may not know is that many are owned by the same company.
Let’s talk about the illusion of choice.
When big brands like L’Oréal or Estée Lauder acquire smaller brands, they usually keep the brand name.
Why? Because it keeps loyal customers happy and makes you feel like you’re choosing between competitors—when you’re not.
You think you're comparing five different brands, but you’re often just choosing five faces of the same corporation.
The branding may differ but behind the scenes? Shared R&D, similar ingredients, and same factories.
This strategy lets conglomerates:
▪️Target different markets (luxury vs. drugstore)
▪️Appeal to different age groups or values.
▪️Avoid “cannibalizing” their own products.
All while owning the shelf.
That “clean indie brand” you love? The “gritty Gen Z” one? The “timeless classic”?
There’s a good chance they’re all under the same corporate roof.
Welcome to the beauty industry’s illusion of choice.
From Shedding to Shining.

Hair loss, thinning, or shedding could be upsetting as hair is a standard for health and virility.
However, there are effective treatments that can help restore your hair and confidence.
I would always advise you to collaborate with a dermatologist or trichologist before starting any hair loss treatment to determine the cause of your hair loss.
They would also help you understand the available treatment options and the best approach to restoring your hair.
Some common at home treatment options would include:
▪️Applying 5% Minoxidil following dermarolling or dermastamping once weekly.
Minoxidil is a topical medication that boosts hair growth by improving blood flow to the hair follicles.
It is most effective for male and female pattern hair loss.
▪️Applying Tretinoin or VT Reedle shot and massaging into your edges to improve blood circulation and stimulate your hair follicles.
Clinical procedures that could help restore healthy hair would include:
▪️Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)
LLLT uses low-level lasers to stimulate hair growth.
This non-invasive treatment can slow hair loss and encourage new hair growth.
▪️Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy.
PRP therapy involves injecting platelet-rich plasma into the scalp to promote hair growth.
This enhances hair density and quality.
▪️Hair Transplant Surgery.
Hair transplant surgery involves moving hair follicles from a donor area to a balding area.
When properly done, this can be a lasting solution for hair loss.
Other considerations that could help improve your hair would include maintaining a healthy lifestyle, balanced diet, regular exercises, and sufficient rest. You would also need to be patient as it could take some time to get a positive outcome, and outcomes could vary depending on your genes and when you presented for treatment.
African hair has its unique genetic makeup, and despite our efforts at using great hair products, we can't defy nature. Our genetics play a significant role in our hair growth, texture, and colour.
Hair can't grow overnight, and grey hairs can't magically disappear.
However, it's possible to optimise our hair's health and appearance.
We can minimise breakage and extend the life of our hair styles while embracing the peculiarities of our hair.
You may not know this, but nutrition plays a critical role in hair growth and hair loss, with certain dietary factors directly impacting hair follicle health and overall hair strength.
Our diet can influence hair loss in several ways:
Nutrient deficiencies can contribute to increased hair loss in the following ways:
▪️Insufficient Protein Intake: Hair is primarily composed of keratin, a protein.
Insufficient protein intake can lead to weaker hair structure and increased hair shedding. Without adequate proteins, hair growth can slow down, and your hair can become more fragile and liable to develop split ends.
▪️Iron Deficiency:
Low iron levels can disrupt hair follicle functionality, causing telogen effluvium (a form of temporary hair loss).
Women are particularly susceptible to this because of menstrual cycles, pregnancies, and sometimes lower iron intake.
▪️Vitamin Deficiencies:
Examples include:
▫️Vitamin D is important for hair follicles cycling and creating new hair follicles.
▫️Vitamin B12 is essential for red blood cell production and oxygen transportation.
▫️Biotin is essential for producing keratin.
Hair loss can also be triggered by dietary circumstances:
▪️High Sugar Consumption:
Excessive sugar intake can increase inflammation, disrupt insulin levels, and create hormonal imbalances that negatively impact hair growth.
▪️Processed Foods:
These often lack essential nutrients and contain inflammatory compounds that can compromise the health of our hair.
▪️Rapid Weight Loss:
Sudden caloric restriction from severe illness, starvation, or very restrictive weight loss diets can force hair into a resting phase and cause increased shedding.
Food Nutrients that can boost healthy hair:
▪️Lean proteins like fish, chicken, and legumes.
▪️Iron-rich foods like spinach, red meat, and lentils.
▪️Omega-3 fatty acids, e.g, salmon and chia seeds.
▪️Zinc-containing foods like pumpkin seeds and oysters.
▪️Regular and frequent consumption of antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables.
Hair loss can also result from other factors, including genetic, medical conditions, hormonal changes, harsh environmental conditions, e.g, low temperatures, aggressive hair styling, and stress.
It's always best to consult a healthcare professional or trichologist as they can help identify specific underlying causes of hair loss as well as develop and supervise a personalised treatment plan that can improve your hair.
