The 28-year-old revealed she was suffering with androgenic alopecia also known as female pattern hair loss and is a condition common in both men and women.
For women, the hair loss usually starts with thinness on top of the head, jut like Hannah had.
There are various reasons this sort of hair loss occurs but the most common in women is hormonal imbalances.
Hannah first showed off the bald patches in her hair from a year ago – you could visibly see where her hair loss was in the back and top of her head.
She then showed how her hair is looking now – and her locks looked thick and healthy once more.
Hannah then revealed the products she was using that really worked to grow her hair back.
“So I’m coming up to my year anniversary of taking Oral Minoxidil,” she captioned the post.
“And I’m two months into my Spironolactone journey.
“Happy with the results but looking forward to seeing what 6 months on Spiro looks like!”
Hannah revealed she was going through a dermatologist for her treatment but there is a way to get your hands on Oral Minoxidil.
Hair growth company Manual offer a monthly prescription of Oral Minoxidil for just £15 a month.
All you have to do is take one tablet a day and you should begin to see results in a few months.
Minoxidil is a proven treatment that works for hair loss and can be applied to the scalp or taken orally.
The clip posed to her TikTok account @hannahshairlossjourney quickly went viral with over 600k views and 8,000 likes.
Everything you need to know about hair loss
Marie Nieuwoudt, a Group Education Manager at CLOUD NINE told Fabulous everything you need to know regarding hair loss.
What are the common causes of hair loss?
Marie explained: “There are so many reasons why someone may face hair loss.
“The number one reason is usually hormonal changes or underlying health conditions (like thyroid conditions), and stress of
course also plays a big part in changes to your hair health.
“But another very common day-to-day cause is excessive damage to your hair created by mistakes in your styling routines – and this a
big one to be aware of for people who are regularly applying heat to their hair!
“It’s important to know the right temperature for your hair type when using styling tools, as this is essential in reducing unintentional heat damage.
“I also see a lot of people facing hair loss resulting from hereditary conditions, which are passed down from generation to generation.”
What are the best hairstyles people should try to reduce their hair loss?
According to Marie: “Less is more when it comes to hair loss! It’s important to be gentle with your hair, so a low-maintenance style that limits pulling on your scalp will be your best option.
“Putting your hair up in a tight ponytail or adding hair clips can cause stress points at the roots.
“Instead, try leaving your hair down, or out.
“You’re not limited in your options, but it pays to be intentional with your hair styling. Using tools which limit damage to your hair is vital.
“Discussing your concerns with a hairdresser or hair loss specialist is also a great way to find styles that suit your specific needs, whilst still making sure you look and feel your best.”
How long does it take for hair loss to stop?
If you’re itching to know when your hair will grow back, Marie confirmed: “Hair loss is a personal journey – and it’s different for everyone, so it’s very difficult to put exact timings on this process.
“Every head of hair is unique, and so too is your hair loss experience.
“As always, you can speak to a professional hairdresser or trichologist about your specific concerns and hair changes, and they’ll be able to help you manage those expectations.
“I can’t emphasise enough how important it is to be kind to your hair. Most people treat their hair quite roughly, and this is something you definitely want to avoid when dealing with hair loss in particular.
“Make sure you’re choosing products and styling routines that you know are good for your hair, rather than causing additional damage.”
People were quick to praise her results and thank her for the glimmer of hope as they battled their own hair loss.
One person wrote: “You encouraged me to start.”
Another commented: “Hey! Congratulations!!! That’s an amazing result!”
“This gives me hope for my hair,” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “Great results. Hope you’re doing ok. Your hair looks fantastic.”
“Incredible!” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “This gives me a little hope! I’m one week into oral minoxidil and my hair looks like your before.”
