Hair Loss + Confidence: Real Talk, Causes, and Treatments (Ep 22 Follow-Up)
Hair loss is personal—and common. In this episode, we unpack the emotional side, the most common non-genetic causes (hormones, telogen effluvium, nutrition, stress, traction), and what actually helps—from Minoxidil and Spironolactone to PRP and dermatology care. We also share holistic habits (scalp massage, rosemary/castor oil used correctly) and everyday tweaks that protect your hair.
