Hair Loss in Women: What Your Hairdresser Noticed Before Your Doctor Did (Part 1)

If your hair is falling out and you have been told your labs are normal, this episode is for you.

Dr. Tara Harding, DNP, FNP-C opens the 'Why Is My Hair Falling Out?' series with the conversation that rarely happens in a doctor's office: why hair loss in women is one of the most dismissed symptoms in medicine, and why the person most likely to notice it first is your hairdresser.

Women's hair loss including female pattern hair loss, diffuse thinning, and sudden shedding affects the majority of women at some point in their lives. Yet 72% of women say hair shedding is their biggest unmet hair care need. The system is not meeting this moment.

In this episode:

• What normal shedding looks like vs. pathological female hair loss 
• The hair loss patterns hairdressers are uniquely positioned to spot 
• Why women with hair thinning are routinely dismissed — and the research behind it 
• The emotional weight of hair loss and why it is not a vanity issue
• How hairdressers can use their trusted role to start conversations that change lives

This series was built for women who want real answers, and the hairdressers who often see the problem first.
