Hair in your hands after starting a weight-loss medication? Breathe. You’re not broken, and you’re definitely not alone.

We see the same ads and messaging you do, and honestly, it can feel like a lot. There are SO many reasons hair loss happens, and when it’s tied to these medications, the timing is the part most people miss: the shedding you’re noticing now was usually triggered around three months ago. So by the time it shows up in the shower, your follicles have already been at a disadvantage for a while.

Here’s what we always say:
Please work alongside an integrative practitioner, a nutritionist, a trusted Dr. or a dietitian as you navigate this, and yes, certain peptides and supplements can possibly help curb the side effects. But the thing that quietly gets skipped? Most people don’t have a scalp routine in place BEFORE the shedding starts.

And a routine isn’t a one-off. You don’t wash your face once and call it skincare. You don’t go to the gym one time. It’s a daily practice because your scalp is skin, and it deserves the same care. (🤏🏾)

The best time to start was give or take three months ago. The second best time is today.

Najeau: a miniseries
Broummana, Lebanon — June 2026

We came home. In Najeau’s hometown, cousins and friends gathered to hair oil, move, and practice yoga together in one of the most magical spaces .broummana built by artisans and teachers who opened their doors so we could oil, film, and practice.

Both practices are a language of love and self-care, with heritage in every drop. So while the world keeps turning, we find peace, healing and L O V E in these moments of community and movement.

Thank you for sharing your space with us
We love you Samar and friends .s.sam

This weekend in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, we were invited to share our Scalp Master Class at Pointe Acupuncture , and what a room it was. Packed, energized, and full of incredible women who showed up ready to go deeper.

Alongside our favorite human , Dr. Sam, we had the kind of conversation that scalp and hair care so rarely gets to have. Because the truth is, healthy hair is never one dimensional. What affects a woman’s overall health affects her scalp, and what affects her scalp shows up in her hair. Integrative medicine and the work Dr. Sam does are woven directly into everything we believe about caring for hair from the root.

We came to teach The Najeau Method™️, and we left having learned just as much. Grateful does not even cover it. Thank you, Dr. Sam, and thank you to every woman who made this space so special.

One of our favorite conversations to have and I had it again this week with a few young adults is about how often the “problem” we’re trying to fix is being created by the products we reach for. 💬

Take the “dandruff” that’s really just a dry scalp.

Clarifying shampoos are formulated with strong surfactants to strip buildup. Used daily, they also strip the scalp’s natural lipids and compromise the barrier———> leaving it dry, tight, and flaky. That flaking gets misread as dandruff constantly.

But they’re not the same:
✨ Dry scalp → small, white, dusty flakes
✨ Dandruff → larger, oilier, yellow flakes (linked to Malassezia — a different fix)

This is why I always start with a pre-shampoo oil. It acts as a buffer against harsh surfactants and hard-water minerals, helping preserve your natural lipids, support the scalp microbiome, and maintain a healthy acidic pH. 💧

The more you understand what you’re reaching for, the better you care for yourself. 🤍
