Is Your Hair Trying to Tell You Something? Warning Signs to Watch For

Your hair is more than just a style, it’s one of the best indicators of what’s happening inside your body, your lifestyle, and even your environment. When something feels “off,” your hair will often tell you long before you realize it yourself.

At Revamp Salon Company, we see it every day. A guest sits in our chair and says, “My hair has never done this before,” or “I swear it changed overnight.” And the truth is… your hair is trying to tell you something.

Here are the top warning signs to look for, and what they might mean.

1. Breakage That Seems To Come Out of Nowhere

Breakage isn’t just about heat or bleach. Sudden snapping, frayed ends, or pieces breaking mid-strand often point to:

• Protein depletion

• Over washing or washing with the wrong shampoo

• Stress or hormonal changes

• Mechanical damage (tight ponytails, rough brushing, gym hair ties)

At Revamp, we diagnose the why behind your breakage and recommend custom L’ANZA reparative treatments that rebuild your bonds from the inside out, not just coat the surface.

2. Dryness That Won’t Go Away

If your hair is dry no matter what you do, this could be:

• Weather-related moisture loss (hello, Sask winter ❄️)

• Heat styling without proper protection

• Mineral buildup blocking hydration

• A disrupted moisture/protein balance

As a L’ANZA Healing Center, we take dryness seriously. Your stylist will create a personalized healing moisture plan using L’ANZA masks, leave-ins, and deep treatments that actually penetrate the strand, not just give temporary slip.

3. Excessive Shedding or Thinning

While shedding 50–100 hairs a day is normal, noticeable increase can be a sign of:

• Stress

• Illness

• Iron deficiency

• Thyroid imbalance

• Postpartum recovery

• Seasonal shedding (yes, it’s a thing!)

We’ll help determine if your shedding is typical or a red flag, and recommend the right healing regimen to support stronger regrowth.

4. Mineral Buildup (A HUGE Issue in Saskatoon)

Sask water is hard.That means mineral buildup is incredibly common, and the symptoms can show up as:

• Hair feeling stiff or “crunchy” even when wet

• Colour fading faster

• Blonde looking dull or brassy

• Hair refusing to hold moisture

• Scalp irritation or flakes

A professional detox or chelation treatment at Revamp can completely reset your hair, you’ll feel the difference instantly!

5. Postpartum Hair Changes

Postpartum hair shifts are real, and they affect every new parent differently. You may see:

• Sudden shedding

• New texture

• Dryness or brittleness

• Baby hairs or new growth patterns

• Thinning around the hairline

We approach postpartum hair with gentleness, science, and a long-term plan to support recovery and regrowth using L’ANZA’s healing botanicals and bond-builders.

So… What Is Your Hair Trying to Tell You?

If your hair feels different, unmanageable, or simply “not like it used to,” you’re not alone — and it’s not something you need to guess about.

Your hair is communicating. Our stylists are here to translate.

At Revamp Salon Co., your appointment includes a thorough consultation where we take a deeper look at your hair’s condition, your lifestyle, and the root cause of any changes. Then we build a customized healing plan that brings your hair back to balance, strength, and shine.
