Show Notes

Leaving a trail of hair strands everywhere you go? If you’re worried about hair loss and hair thinning, trust us when we say you’re not alone.

In Ep. 31 of Season 2, we sit down with Dr. Sarah Kiani and Pari to discuss a topic that has been on the top of the minds of many women, literally.

We dive right into our own personal hair loss journeys and the reason its become a taboo topic to discuss.

Dr. Sarah breaks down the lifespan of a hair follicle and explains why some hair shedding is completely normal.

Whether its your diet, genetics, a health condition or some other underlying reason- Dr. Sarah explains the internal and external factors that can lead to hair loss.

We also debunk some hair loss myths and share some tips we’ve personally added to our morning and nighttime routines to keep our hair healthy and growing. And for our hijabi listeners- we got some handy hair care advice for you all as well!

In this episode we’re also joined by Pari who opens up about her recent bout with hair loss both with postpartum and as she discovers her Alopecia Areata diagnosis. In a very unfiltered and vulnerable discussion, the new-mommy walks us through her struggles and how she’s learning to love the beautiful woman she sees staring back at her in the mirror, again.

Hair loss is a vulnerable thing to talk about, but we are grateful for the strong ladies who share their personal journeys with us, in order to help others.
