Episode Details

I've been a hairdresser for 30 years and I still wasn't prepared for what menopause did to my hair. In this episode of Kim's Chair I'm getting into everything nobody warned us about. Why your hair gets dry, brittle, and starts thinning. What estrogen actually does for your hair and what happens when she leaves. How follicle miniaturization changes your hair's texture and growth cycle. What to look for in your labs including ferritin, thyroid, iron, and vitamin D. Why inflammation might be the root cause of everything. I'm also sharing the products I'm personally using right now to treat my scalp and what I've learned about headband wigs as a protective option while your hair is in recovery mode. This is an ongoing series and I'm taking you with me every step of the way.
