Summary
In this deep-dive edition, Ali and Reem unpack everything you think you know about hair loss and a lot you probably don’t. From sudden shedding to subtle thinning, they break down what’s normal, what’s not, and what’s worth your time (and money). Whether you’re dealing with postpartum fallout or just suspicious of your widening part, this one’s for you. Expect myth-busting, treatment truths, and a few personal confessions, including a certain derm’s failed mayonnaise mask moment. ⏱️ Highlights 00:02 – Welcome back & intro to the deep-dive format 03:30 – Hair anatomy & growth cycle basics 07:15 – Scarring vs non-scarring: the 2 P’s 09:45 – Telogen effluvium (aka the panic shed) 16:00 – Androgenetic alopecia: what to look for & when to treat 23:30 – Are laser caps legit? 27:00 – PRP: pros, cons, and price 29:10 – Alopecia areata & autoimmune triggers 30:45 – Traction alopecia & side part shame 33:00 – NYC recs: burgers and The Hamptons 34:30 – Final thoughts & scalp massage PSA
