Certified Functional Trichologist · Root Cause Hair Wellness

You've Done Everything Right — and Nothing Has Worked.

You've seen the dermatologist. They ran tests and told you everything looks normal.
You've ordered the growth serums, the biotin, the DHT blockers. Temporary results, if any.
You've watched baby hairs grow — then fall out again.
You've started wearing your hair differently to hide what's happening.
And somewhere along the way, you started wondering if this is just… permanent.

You are not broken. Your body is communicating, Hair loss is one of the ways it asks for help

Hair loss doesn't happen in isolation. Hair follicles respond to changes throughout the body — nutrient deficiencies, hormonal disruption, chronic inflammation, gut dysfunction, or nervous system overload. Until you address the root cause, the shedding doesn't stop.

Discover Why Your Hair Changed

"I Was Told It Was Just Genetics"

Androgenetic Alopecia — Female Pattern Hair Loss

The Issue:

Client was experiencing progressive thinning, reduced density, and visible scalp exposure. Despite years of trying, nothing had produced meaningful improvement.

What We Discovered:

Though often written off as genetic, a comprehensive review told a different story. Internal stressors identified included:

Thyroid dysfunction and metabolic stress
Immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation
Gut and digestive imbalances
Nutrient deficiencies affecting follicle performance
Elevated nervous system stress and sleep disturbances

The Focus for Recovery

Rather than treating the scalp in isolation, the focus was on building a healthier internal environment to support follicle function — addressing nutrition, inflammation, scalp health, circulation, and recovery.

Results

Client experienced visible improvements in hair density, scalp coverage, and overall hair quality. Genetics may influence susceptibility. Your health influences the outcome.

"I Was Managing 19 Medications and Still Losing My Hair"

Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia (CCCA)

The Issue:

Progressive crown hair loss, scalp inflammation, and reduced density — complicated by multiple chronic health challenges. This client arrived managing 19 medications.

What We Discovered:

A comprehensive health review revealed:

Significant inflammatory burden
Hormonal and endocrine stress
Digestive and gut dysfunction
Detoxification and environmental stressors
A compromised follicular environment at the scalp level

Because CCCA is a scarring form of alopecia, early intervention was critical — the goal was both restoration and preservation.

The Focus for Recovery

Whole-body support targeting inflammation, scalp and follicular health, hormonal balance, circulation, nutrient delivery, and sustainable lifestyle habits — with ongoing monitoring throughout.

Results

Visible improvements in scalp coverage, hair density, and overall scalp health. More significantly, by the completion of her program and under the supervision of her healthcare providers, she reduced her medications from 19 to just 2. Hair restoration was the goal she came in with. A healthier body was what she left with.

"My Temples Were Disappearing and No One Could Tell Me Why"

Hormonal Hair Loss — Temple Thinning

The Issue:

Progressive thinning at the temples, dry and brittle hair, and declining overall hair quality — with underlying health concerns already limiting the body's ability to support healthy growth.

What We Discovered:

A functional assessment uncovered:

Significant digestive and gastrointestinal stress
Microbial imbalances in the digestive tract
History of low iron and nutrient absorption concerns
Hormonal and endocrine system stress
Chronic inflammation and detoxification challenges
Poor sleep and recovery quality

The temples were the visible sign. The internal picture explained why.

The Focus for Recovery

Inside-out recovery — supporting digestion, nutrient utilization, hormonal balance, sleep, detoxification, and circulation to the follicle, with individualized adjustments throughout.

Results

Visible improvements in temple density, overall hair quality, and healthier hair appearance. Follow-up assessments also confirmed positive shifts in physiological function across several areas previously under significant stress.

"I Knew It Was More Than Genetics — I Just Needed Someone to Look Deeper"

Androgenetic Alopecia — Male Pattern Hair Loss

The Issue:

Progressive thinning and visible scalp exposure, with a desire to understand the full picture beyond genetics. Additional complexity was present — this client was living with Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease, a chronic neurological condition adding significant systemic burden.

What We Discovered:

A comprehensive review identified:

Digestive and gut dysfunction
Inflammatory burden
Nutritional gaps
Impaired detoxification pathways
Compromised stress and recovery capacity

His hair loss was not happening in isolation.

The Focus for Recovery

Building a healthier internal foundation — digestive wellness, nutritional support, scalp function, inflammation reduction, and improved recovery capacity, with consistent monitoring and adjustment throughout.

Results

Visible improvements in hair density and scalp coverage. His case demonstrates that even when genetics are a factor, the health of the body has real influence over how hair loss progresses — and how it responds to support.

Founder, The Hair Mayven & Wellness

Meet the woman who couldn't stop asking "why"

A native of the Carolinas, I have dedicated my career to hair and whole-body wellness. For nearly two decades, I stood behind the salon chair listening to women tell the same heartbreaking story.

"My hair keeps falling out."

"I've tried everything."

"My doctor said my labs were normal."

"They told me it was just stress… or hormones… or genetics."

And yet, despite expensive products, prescriptions, and countless appointments, their hair continued to thin.

The more women I met, the more one question stayed with me:

Why was I treating the hair without understanding what changed inside the body first?

That question changed the direction of my career.

I pursued advanced education in functional trichology because I wanted to understand what traditional approaches often overlook: hair is one of the body's most energy-demanding tissues, and when something deeper is out of balance, the body may redirect its resources away from hair growth.

Today, I help women connect the dots between their symptoms, their health, and their hair.

Instead of chasing the next product or treatment, I investigate the internal patterns influencing hair loss—from nutrition and hormones to inflammation, gut health, stress, immune function, and lifestyle.

Because lasting hair recovery begins with understanding why your hair changed in the first place.

I don't believe women should spend years wondering why they're losing their hair. My goal isn't simply to recommend products or explain lab results. It's to help you finally understand what your body has been trying to communicate—and create a personalized path forward.
