Your nutrition can play a major role in some hair loss and scalp concerns. Below are a few factors that may contribute to your nutrition and play a role in your concerns …
"It can take up to 7 years to become insufficient in Iron when an individual changes their diet to vegetarian or vegan, this can have a detrimental effect on their hair and scalp health"
Hair and scalp health optimisation comes from within, this optimisation can be supported by a nutritionally balanced diet
When you are trying to obtain more vitamins and minerals from your diet, try to vary your source of foods. Try not to stick to the same food sources to achieve better results.
If you are using an iron supplement, try taking this with Vitamin C such as orange juice, as it will aid with absorption. If you are taking an iron supplement please be aware of the recommended daily amounts, I also recommend having a blood investigation 3-4 months after implementing the supplement to check that your levels are not too high.
Gaining Vitamin D from the sun- to achieve maximum absorption of Vitamin D from the sun then….. the sun should be behind you, directly at the back of your head and your shadow should be smaller than you - "be careful of sun burn at all times".

I was directed to Margaret by my sister who found her practice online after i had expressed concerns I had about the amount of hair that i seemed to be loosing while washing and brushing. I attended a consultation with Margaret after seeing my GP, who didnt really seem to know how to advise me on what could be causing my hair loss and how to treat it. During my consultation, Margaret explained how hair cycles worked and what tje causes of my hair shedding could be. Margaret did a full examination of my hair and scalp and explained to me what she saw and what it meant. I couldn't recommend Margaret enough, she set me at ease and gave me a thorough explanation of what she felt was going on and how to move forward

I recently visited Margaret’s clinic and found her to be very professional but also very sympathetic. I felt comfortable discussing my hair loss with her. She provided me with an honest assessment and a written report of the problems and their possible causes, which I’d been unable to discover elsewhere, and she suggested the different types of solutions available and their advantages and disadvantages. She was happy for me to contact her again with questions. I would certainly recommend a visit to Margaret’s clinic to anyone with a hair problem. It really helps to talk to someone who understands the problem.

Really anxious regarding my hair loss I was pleased to find this local trichology clinic. Following lots of questions regarding overall health my scalp and hair were thoroughly examined using a special camera and a microscope.
At every stage Margaret talked me through what she was observing and what these findings meant for my long term hair health.
I left with a treatment plan - evidence based rather than any expensive gimmicks .I received a helpful summary of my appointment that same day.
I already feel more confident that with Margaret’s advice I will see realistic improvement. Highly recommend a consultation for anyone experiencing hair loss.
I was very happy with my appointment with the Trichologist Ms Margaret Simpson. She gave me a thorough examination using a hair follicle camera, she advised me to have my blood tested and suggested certain hair products to use. She later advised me on which nutrition and vitamins to take based on the blood results.
I attended privately a consultant dermatologist with the same problem the year before and Ms Simpson’s Examination and advice was far superior. I highly recommend her to anyone having hair loss problems.
