Why hair shedding shows up late

The shedding started months ago.

The hair in your drain today was set in motion two to three months ago. Here's why that happens, what Firmora does about it, and why 90 days is the honest timeline.*

The hair cycle

Why it shows up months later

Hair grows in cycles. A trigger like stress, a baby or perimenopause pushes more hairs into their resting phase at once, and they fall out a couple of months later, long after you've forgotten the trigger.

↻ The cycle repeats

  1. Growth phase

    Most hairs are growing

    At any time, most of the hair on your head is in its growth phase, which lasts for years.

  2. The trigger

    Hormones and stress shift the balance

    Perimenopause, pregnancy and stress can push more hairs into the resting phase at once.

  3. 2 to 3 months later

    That's when you see shedding

    Resting hairs usually fall out a couple of months after the trigger, long after you've forgotten it.

  4. The answer

    Consistency over a full cycle

    Supporting hair from the inside works on the hair you're growing now. Give it at least 90 days.

How it works

What each part of Firmora does

Hair changes start below the surface. Here's where each part of the formula comes in.

Cross-section of a healthy, growing hair follicle in the scalp, with the hair shaft, follicle sheath, hair bulb and blood supply
  1. 1
    The hair shaft

    Built from keratin

    Each hair is made almost entirely of keratin, a protein built from amino acids. Firmora provides L-cysteine, a building block of keratin, alongside L-lysine.

  2. 2
    The follicle

    Under stress and hormone shifts

    Stress, perimenopause and pregnancy can push follicles out of their growth phase early. Firmora includes ashwagandha, an adaptogen traditionally used to help the body handle stress, and saw palmetto, traditionally used in hair formulas.

  3. 3
    The hair bulb

    Where new hair is made

    Its cells are among the fastest-dividing in your body, so they need a steady supply of nutrients. Biotin, zinc and selenium contribute to the maintenance of normal hair.

  4. 4
    The blood supply

    Feeding the follicle

    Tiny blood vessels deliver oxygen and nutrients to the bulb. Vitamin B12 contributes to normal red blood cell formation, and vitamins B6 and D3 support normal cell function.

Firmora brings them together in one daily serving of 2 capsules, so many women find they can take fewer bottles, not more. Because Firmora already has generous amounts of zinc, selenium, vitamin D3 and vitamin A, don't double up with a separate supplement or multivitamin without asking your doctor or pharmacist, and check with them before you stop anything you've been prescribed.

In their words

“I have tried a plethora of hair supplements since I started experiencing shedding and hair thinning after my 4th child, but to no avail. I have been on Firmora for only one month and I'm already seeing little baby hairs filling in on my temples and my hairline!”

“So far it's been good, I can see a difference in texture and general health. I will know more after I have been taking it for longer.”

Questions

Good questions, honest answers

How long until I see results?

Hair grows in cycles, so this takes patience. In our test group of 100 women, 93% reported less shedding within three months and 87% reported visible new growth by month six.* That's why we recommend the 90-Day Protocol.

*Self-reported results. Individual results vary.

Which plan should I choose?

Most women need about 90 days to judge results, so the 90-Day Protocol is the plan we recommend, and your first bottle is guaranteed (see terms). Committed for the year? The Annual Protocol is the lowest price per bottle; it's a one-time purchase that doesn't renew, and it's final sale. Want to start smaller? A single bottle is the easiest way to begin. Still unsure? Take the 60-second hair quiz.

What's your refund policy?

Try Firmora for a full hair cycle. Your first order is covered by our First-Bottle Guarantee: if it isn't right for you, contact us between day 21 and day 45 after delivery and return all bottles for a refund. One per customer. Orders placed with a discount code aren't covered, and the Annual Protocol is final sale. You can cancel any subscription before your next billing date. Read the full policy.

Can I take Firmora while breastfeeding?

Please talk to your doctor before taking Firmora if you're breastfeeding. Firmora contains botanicals, including ashwagandha and kelp, that haven't been established as safe for nursing. Many of our customers start Firmora once they've finished nursing, when postpartum shedding is often still noticeable.

Can I take Firmora while pregnant or trying to conceive?

We don't recommend Firmora during pregnancy. If you're pregnant or trying to conceive, talk to your doctor first.

I have a thyroid condition. Can I take Firmora?

Firmora contains iodine, kelp and ashwagandha, which can affect thyroid function. Please talk to your doctor before starting.

Does Firmora affect lab tests?

Firmora contains 3,000 mcg of biotin. High-dose biotin can interfere with some lab tests, including thyroid and heart tests. Tell your doctor you take biotin before any blood work.
