Should I Treat My Hair Loss? - Things You Need To Know

I’ve been living with hair loss for over 26 years. I’ve tried nearly everything, from medication to supplements to procedures. This isn’t medical advice. It’s my lived experience. My own, and that which has been shared with me by countless women over the past 18 years of connecting online with others dealing with this same issue.

There are things I wish I knew and understood when I first started losing my hair, things that I don’t think are often talked about online or off, not even in medical offices.

This is our hair and our life. And in order to make the best choices for ourselves, we need to have all the facts so we can feel good about the choices we do or do not make.

In this episode I cover:

• Why a treatment for hair loss is often a treatment for life

• How legitimate hair loss treatments can sometimes make hair loss worse

• The most commonly prescribed treatments for women

• Why starting treatment too early might lead to long term regret

• The risk of getting stuck on medications, whether or not they work

• The one question I wish I asked myself: Can I live with this decision 10 years from now?

These are the things I wish someone had told me.

🖤 Thank you for listening.
