How Moms Help Us Deal With Hair Loss | HairClub - 012

HAIRPOD™

Hair loss affects us all differently, but for many, it can be an isolating experience. In this special episode of HairPod, we look at how moms have been impacted by hair loss, whether they are experiencing it personally or seeing how it affects their kids. From our team here at HairPod, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to all of the moms out there!

Trichotillomania - Getting Your Child the Help They Need

Trichotillomania can go undiagnosed in children for years, just like it did in our first guest’s story. Heather Brooke is a behavioral therapist, beauty pageant winner, and model, and she shared how her grandmother and mother noticed her hair loss despite her attempts to keep it a secret. Her mother took quick action to help her get the care and treatment she needed, which led to her regrowing her hair before her school photos in her senior year of high school.

Amniotic Band Syndrome - It’s Okay to Be Different

When Abby shared her story about her hair journey, she told us about her amniotic band syndrome, which caused scarring on her scalp. Due to the scarring, Abby has been on her hair journey since she was a newborn. Thanks to the quick action taken by her mom, Abby never had to go to school without hair. Abby told us how challenging the experience was for her and how hard it also hit her mother. She came on the show to help parents see that even if their child experiences hair loss, they can still grow up happy and healthy.

Motherhood and Postpartum Hair Loss

Jessica-Marie Laurent is a mother and a hair replacement expert. She knew she could experience postpartum hair loss after she had her baby, but the emotions of it still hit hard. After a period of denial, she sought solutions to help get her on the path to regrowth. Many women don’t know that there are things they can do to mitigate and reverse postpartum hair loss. We hope Jessica’s story can help inspire them to seek the help they need!
