Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow S:02 E:3
Manage episode 514908248 series 3587176
Ever notice the part line creeping wider or the dryer coughing up a tumbleweed of your own hair? Yep, we're talking about this ridiculous topic today! We’re pulling back the curtain on what’s actually happening on your scalp—we unpack the biology in plain English and share the small daily habits that protect the hair you have.
We talk through the biggest culprits behind hair thinning in women and men: age-related hormonal shifts like perimenopause and menopause, chronic stress that can tilt testosterone and trigger facial hair in women (yep, we got issues!), and the cumulative damage of bleach, dye, perms, and heat. Then we take our shots at Dr. Domain and his shiny beaner!
If you’re staring down the mirror wondering what to try next, this conversation gives you a roadmap: realistic expectations, evidence-informed options, and a gentler mindset. We laugh at the myths (spray-on hair, anyone?), share what’s worked and what hasn’t, and make room for acceptance as a valid, stylish path. Subscribe, share with a friend who’s shedding, and tell us: what’s your real-world hair win—or the fix you’d never do again?
