You’re Losing Hair Because You Were Never Taught This | Mark Birch
Episode 196
Tuesday, 3 February, 2026
With nearly five decades of clinical experience, Mark Birch breaks down why hair health starts at the scalp—not supplements, transplants, or trends. This episode dismantles common myths, explains why hair loss has accelerated globally, and shows how daily habits, environment, stress, and product choice quietly determine whether hair thrives or thins.Key Discussion Highlights Mark explains that the scalp is the fastest-aging skin on the body and requires daily care, much like teeth or facial skin. Poor hygiene, clogged follicles, harsh chemicals, and misinformation drive unnecessary hair loss. Dubai’s environment—hard water, constant air-conditioning, UV exposure, and humidity—adds extra stress, making maintenance even more critical.Hair loss is not one condition; there are 40+ types, influenced by genetics, hormones, stress, medications, nutrition, and lifestyle. While genetics set the blueprint, daily care determines how aggressively hair loss expresses. Mark emphasizes that most people spend money on treatments before fixing basics like scalp cleanliness, pH balance, and circulation—often worsening the problem.The episode also explores nutrition, stress, sleep, exercise, chemical processing, styling products, oils, and why many “natural” hacks (onions, oils, mud, DIY remedies) can actually damage the scalp. Technology like red-light therapy and circulation-boosting tools can help—but only after the foundation is right.Key Takeaways • Hair health begins with scalp hygiene, not pills or procedures • Washing the scalp daily with the right shampoo improves circulation and growth • Most hair loss is preventable or slowable with proper maintenance • Harsh chemicals, oils, and styling products clog follicles and accelerate thinning • Transplants fail without proper pre- and post-scalp care5 Things You Can Start Doing TodayWash your scalp daily with a shampoo suited to your scalp type (not trends or scents).Use a conditioner every wash and a nourishing hair mask once weekly.Stop applying oils, gels, waxes, or DIY remedies directly to the scalp.Prioritize sleep, stress reduction, protein intake, and whole-food nutrition.Treat hair like skin: cleanse after sweating, swimming, beach exposure, or heavy styling.This episode is a reset: hair health isn’t complicated—but it is disciplined. Clean scalp, correct products, consistency, and respect for biology win every time.
