A Guide to Choosing the Right Products for Stronger, Healthier Hair
One of the most common questions we get at Pomme:
“Do I treat hair loss or hair breakage?”
If you’ve ever found more hair than usual in your brush or on your bathroom floor—especially during seasonal changes or stressful times—you’re not alone.
Understanding whether you’re experiencing hair fall from the root or breakage along the strand is key to choosing the right treatment.
If Your Hair Loss Starts at the Root…
Best for: Hormonal, stress-related, or seasonal shedding
If you’re noticing more hair falling out from the root (think: full strands with the bulb attached), you’re likely dealing with hair loss. This is a scalp and follicle issue, and you’ll want to focus on strengthening the root to prevent further fall.
What to Use:
Star Product of the Genesis Line: Kérastase Genesis Serum
This powerful but lightweight anti-hair fall serum re-anchors hair follicles and stimulates the scalp, helping to reduce shedding and create an optimal environment for growth.
Benefits of the Genesis Line:
- Fortifies and strengthens fragile hair at the root
- Helps reduce excess fall due to breakage
- Supports hair during periods of hormonal changes, stress, or seasonal shedding

If Breakage Happens Mid-Shaft to Ends…
Best for: Bleached, heat-damaged, or brittle hair
If your hair is snapping off in the middle or at the ends, you’re dealing with breakage, not hair loss. This is often caused by mechanical damage—think heat styling, tight hairstyles, bleaching, or chemical processing.
What to Use:
L’Oréal Absolut Repair Molecular
This innovative line uses peptides and amino acids to rebuild your hair’s internal molecular structure, restoring strength and softness.
Benefits of Absolut Repair Molecular:
- Delivers peptides deep into the hair fibre to reconstruct molecular structure
- Actively repairs from the inside out
- Perfect for dry, damaged, or lifeless hair prone to breakage

FAQs About Hair Loss & Breakage

A: Yes! Many clients benefit from using Genesis at the root and Molecular from mid-shaft to ends. This holistic approach addresses both hair fall and deep breakage.
Q: How long before I see results?
A: With consistent use, many people notice reduced hair fall and improved strength within 4–6 weeks.
Q: Can hormonal changes really cause hair loss?
