Deficiency hair loss in women shows as hair that becomes fine, dry and brittle and falls out diffusely. It is often confused with hereditary hair loss, whereas its causes are many: seasons, diets, over-frequent washing, a tight or congested scalp. Traditional Chinese Medicine sees in it depleted mineral reserves, linked to the Metal Element, which governs the quality of the skin and hair.

Deficiency hair loss in women: how to recognise the signs
- Hair that thins, becomes dry, brittle and flat.
- Diffuse hair loss all over the head, stronger when the seasons change.
- A widening parting or thinning temples.
- A slimming or high-protein diet, or daily washing that dries out the scalp.
- A tight scalp, sometimes with dandruff or excessive sweating.
Why vitamins or a shampoo alone are not enough
Hair roots are nourished through the scalp. If it is tight, congested or dried out by over-frequent washing, minerals no longer reach the follicles. For TCM, the scalp must be loosened, drained and then remineralised, at its own pace and in step with the seasons. This is the order the Géomer protocol follows.
What makes the Géomer approach different
A protocol that starts from the Element of your scalp, not from a hereditary label: clay, remineralisation and leave-in care developed with the ARK Quantique Process®.
What Géomer recommends
1
Loosen the scalp
Pinch the scalp into folds under your fingers, from the nape towards the forehead, so that it loosens and the blood flows freely. If your scalp is very tight, do this massage every day for 5 minutes.
2
Drain and remineralise with a Terral
Using a brush, apply a layer of about 1 mm of Terral Blanc (Metal Element) over the whole scalp. If your scalp is dry and itchy, add a few drops of Amplitude Oil N°4 to the mask. If you see thinning areas on a scalp lacking vitality, Terral Gris can be used instead. Leave on for 20 minutes without letting it dry, then rinse with lukewarm water.
3
Wash without drying out
Wring out your hair with a towel. Apply a small amount of Seaweed Shampoo to the scalp, leave on for 2 minutes, wet, work into a light lather and rinse. If your lengths are very dry, porous or coloured, Nourishing Shampoo (4 minutes on the hair) is a better fit. Space out your washes: daily washing dries out the scalp.
4
Nourish the lengths
Spread a small amount of Hair Balm through the hair, comb, leave on for 2 minutes and rinse lightly. Once a week, use it as a mask: 4 times more product, 1 hour on the hair, then rinse.
5
Remineralise every evening
Every evening, spread a few drops of Oligo F3 over the whole scalp and massage it in with your fingertips. Do not rinse: it is not sticky.
6
Revitalise the scalp
When the hair loss has stabilised, spray Régénorsil onto the scalp, no more than twice a week, before the evening product (order: Régénorsil, Oligo F3). Massage in, do not rinse. Used too early, it can temporarily increase the shedding of hairs at the end of their cycle.
7
