On this episode of HairPod, we dive into the compelling narrative of Lisette Davilaâs experience with hair loss treatments and hormone replacement therapy. Hair loss can happen for a wealth of reasons, but in Lisette's case, the cause was a hormonal imbalance. It took years for her to pinpoint this, though looking back, there were many symptoms to suggest hormones were a culprit. Discover her challenges, the stigma she encountered, and the hope she found through her courageous pursuit of answers and solutions.
Confronting the Stigma: Hair Loss Treatments For Women
Lisette recounts the gradual onset of her hair loss, once boasting thick, spiral curls she was proud of. The subtle thinning eventually became an undeniable reality, which of course, prompted a cascade of self-consciousness and anxiety. She didn't know why she was losing her hair. Because of the stigma around female hair loss, she was left feeling isolated, confused, and frustrated. Lisette shares that she even received unsolicited comments from coworkers and friends that magnified her insecurities.
Hormone Replacement Therapy and Female Hair Loss Solutions
Lisette shares her experience with hormone replacement therapy. She had a hysterectomy in her early 30s, which coincided with the onset of her hair loss, but Lisette was initially unaware of the potential connection. Her doctor confirmed that hormonal imbalances could very well be contributing to her condition. Lisette noticed significant improvements in her overall well-being within just two weeks of beginning her therapy. It addressed various symptoms associated with hormonal changes, including fatigue, insomnia, and issues with the skin and nails. However, Lisette's hair loss persisted, prompting her to explore additional solutions such as HairClub's offerings. She shares her experience with HairClub and the Trichoview hair analysis system.
Health, Hope, and Hair Restoration
Lisette emerged from her journey with renewed confidence. She extends a message of resilience and empowerment to others facing similar struggles. She encourages listeners to seek out professional guidance, see a hair specialist to help identify a suitable hair loss solution and a doctor to rule out any underlying health concerns. Lisette highlights the importance of having a plan and a community. Whether it's hormone therapy, hair loss therapy, or some other balding solution, the right option is out there.

Hair loss can significantly affect all aspects of our lives, and the solutions for hair loss haven't always been as advanced as they are today. In this episode, Steve Barth, an early client and one of the founding fathers of HairClub shares his experience with hair loss, early hair loss technology, HairClub, and the people who supported him along the way.
Hair Loss and Self-Confidence
Steveâs story began years before his involvement with HairClub. He had known since he was young that he had a genetic predisposition for hair loss and would likely be bald later in life. However, at just twenty-two years old, he wasn't ready. Hair loss can rob those experiencing it of their time, their money, and their ability to grow and explore the world with confidence; there is simply no way to know the impact hair loss might have on your life, especially as a young person just discovering who you are and who you want to be.
Hair Loss Solutions and Balding Treatments in the â70s
Hairpieces, wigs, implants, and other hair loss therapies were quite different in the seventies. The technology was still in its early stages, and as you would expect, the options were limited. Steve shares his experiences with Jason Paulâs scientific approach to hair restoration, his introduction to Sy Sperling, and his path to HairClub.
HairClubâs Approach to Hair Restoration
Steve has been an integral part of HairClub from the start, and he shares with us what set the product apart then and now. Finding a hair loss solution that works for you can be challenging but not impossible. Steve acknowledges that everyone's hair loss is different, and naturally, so are their needs. He has worked with HairClub on developing various methods and solutions for people at all stages of hair loss.

Experiencing hair loss at a young age, or any age, can be challenging; there are a lot of options out there, and finding the right solution often requires time and guidance. In this episode of HairClub, our host, Kevin Rolston, shares his experience with hair loss solutions.
The Shock of Balding and the Hunt for the Best Hair Regrowth Treatment
Like many of us, Kevin's hair loss was not just a physical change but also an emotional journey. It was a part of his family history, and he had always dreaded the day his hair would start to thin. So when he began balding at 26, it was not a shock, but it was still a challenge. Kevin took immediate action, trying over-the-counter topical solutions without much luck. In the early years of his hair loss, Kevin received some guidance and began taking Finasteride. The medication successfully slowed his hair loss for a time. As the years passed, Kevin noticed increased hair loss and began seeking new methods. It is important to keep in mind, that just because something works for a time, this does not mean it will work forever. The good news is there are many different options for all stages of hair loss.
Searching for Hair Loss Solutions - Laser Caps and Hair Transplants
Determined to have a full head of hair, Kevin tried laser hair therapy. He found it to be convenient and accessible. However, Kevinâs hair loss became more significant as he aged; he wanted a permanent solution. At this point, he decided to undergo a hair transplant procedure. He shares what this experience was like and some of the key things to look into when considering a transplant. Kevin was very satisfied with the results of his procedure for many years, but his journey wasn't over yet. His hair was still thinning, and Kevin decided to try another hair solution instead of continuing to pursue transplants.
Not Sure Where To Go - Find A Hair Specialist!
Kevin eventually found a solution that worked for him-a hair system that gave him a full head of natural hair. He was ecstatic; he felt young and confident again. Kevin recommends seeking the guidance of a hair specialist so that you can discover the solution that will work for your hair, your lifestyle, and your budget. Itâs important to know all of your options. We hope Kevinâs experience will shed some light on your own - keep your chin up; the right solution is out there, and there are many different options to explore!

Hair loss can have a significant impact on mental health, but unfortunately, this is often not given the attention it deserves. To complicate matters, mental health issues such as stress can even be the trigger for conditions related to hair loss. In this episode of HairPod, we wrap up Mental Health Awareness Month by discussing the connection between mental health and hair loss with guest Claire Fullam, a trichologist from Dublin. Claire shares her story of living with alopecia, her struggles with addiction, and her journey to recovery. We hope her story provides inspiration and insight for those experiencing the emotional impact of hair loss.
Claireâs Story - Alopecia and the Birth of Claire Balding
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease that can cause rapid hair loss. It can be triggered by stress and can vary in intensity. Claire was hit hard and fast, losing most of her hair in less than two months. She tried all avenues and specialists, seeking a solution and explanation. During this initial phase of her hair loss journey, Claire also launched her social media persona, âClaire Balding,â to share her story and empower others, while at the same time creating her own network of support.
It's Not Just Hair - Hair Loss, Trauma and the Path to Addiction
Claire's hair loss was not only a result of the stress she was experiencing but also a contributor to it! Autoimmune disorders such as alopecia areata can be challenging to manage because of the vicious nature of the stress cycle. Struggling with the pressures of motherhood, life, and her newly discovered alopecia, Claire found herself slipping into substance abuse. She shares her story and transformation, highlighting the need for support and community.
Prioritizing Mental Health While Seeking Hair Loss Solutions
Claire brings to light the emotional impact hair loss can have on the individual experiencing it. The pain of hair loss is difficult to understand for those who havenât been there, but is a very real problem. Our hair is tied to identity, health, and security. The trauma of hair loss is real, and sometimes this only becomes apparent in hindsight. It is important to seek emotional support along the way. Claire shares how hearing others' stories has helped her and inspired her to share her experience with alopecia and addiction.

For this episode, weâre bringing back one from the vault. Kevin Rolston and Joey discuss Joey's journey with alopecia, an auto-immune disorder that results in hair lossâDiscover Joey's initial reaction to alopecia and how he found his ideal hair solution.
Alopecia: Itâs Not a Botched Haircut!
After a regular trip to the barber, Joeyâs wife noticed some patchiness in the hair on the back of his head. Over time, the lack of new hair growth in these areas became evident. A consultation with his dermatologist confirmed alopecia. Defined as an auto-immune disorder, the root cause of alopecia remains a mystery, though stress and genetics are speculated to be potential triggers.
Testing the Hair System, NASCAR-Style
Being a two-time NASCAR champion, a husband, and a father, Joey Logano leads a fast-paced life. He needed a hair solution as dynamic as himâand he found the perfect fit. Temperatures inside a stock car can be up to 30 degrees hotter than the outside air. Joey was pleasantly surprised when his hair system withstood the internal car heat AND his racing helmet. It didnât budge!
Nervous About Trying a Hair System?
For those folks considering making that step to seek out a solution, Joey's advice is straightforward: Dive in. If youâre worried about the judgment of others, remember that the people who care about you will support you in improving your self-image and life!

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 guestâs 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 - Itâs 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 donât know that there are things they can do to mitigate and reverse postpartum hair loss. We hope Jessicaâs story can help inspire them to seek the help they need!

If youâre on your hair loss journey and youâre ready to make a change, this is your sign to seek the solution that works for you. In this episode of HairPod, our host Kevin Rolston sits down with Debra Heim, host of the Alternative Hair Alchemist podcast and owner of her own wig boutique. But Debra isnât just a professional in the hair replacement industry â she has experienced hair loss herself. Listen in to hear her story of finding her self-esteem and encouraging others to find theirs as well.
Debraâs Hair Loss Journey
In nursing school, Debra experienced a lot of stress, and her naturally-thin hair began to fall. Later, she received a diagnosis of alopecia areata. She tried to keep things covered, but it was always stressful and uncomfortable for her. She began experimenting with wigs when she went through chemotherapy years later. She loved the alternative hair, but her family members shamed her out of using it.
Dealing With Stress
Stress set off Debraâs hair loss. She had to figure out how to beat stress in order to experience regrowth. She quit her stressful nursing job and left an abusive relationship, which helped her recover some of her natural hair. Using a form of hair replacement helped her find her confidence, which also lifted a lot of stress.
Finding Your Solution and Self-Esteem
Many people start with cost-effective wigs, but soon discover that itâs worth it to work with a professional to find a solution meant to be worn every day. As a professional, itâs important to work with clients to help them figure out what theyâre really looking for â for many clients, the answer theyâre looking for might not be what they expect.
Work With a Professional
When starting your journey, itâs worth working with a professional to help determine what type of hair replacement is right for you. Professionals can also teach how to care for your wig or hairpiece properly. If they canât help you, it might be time to find someone else to work with!

If this is your first time hearing about trichology, youâre not alone. On this episode of HairPod, our host Kevin Rolston speaks with trichologist, hair stylist, and educator Kate Holohan on the subject of trichology. They discuss the causes of scalp and hair disorders, treatment trends, and simple, everyday actions you can start taking today to improve the health of your hair.
What is Trichology?
Trichology, derived from the Greek word "Trikhos", which means hair, encompasses the study and treatment of various conditions and concerns affecting the hair and scalp. As specialists, trichologists devote themselves to understanding the complexities of these issues, offering tailored solutions and guidance to individuals seeking to rejuvenate and maintain optimal hair health. With their expertise and passion for empowering clients, trichologists play a vital role in promoting confidence and well-being through personalized care and innovative treatments.
Kate's journey into trichology began in 2019, despite her extensive experience as a hairdresser spanning two decades. This newfound interest sparked a passion for understanding the intricacies of hair and scalp health, driving her to explore the field further. Interestingly, while prior experience as a hairdresser isn't a prerequisite for pursuing a career in trichology, many individuals from the hairstyling industry, like Kate, are drawn to its fascinating realm. Their familiarity with haircare and client interactions provides a solid foundation for delving into the scientific aspects of trichology.
Hairdressers often find themselves fielding questions about hair and scalp health from clients seeking advice. While they can recommend cosmetic products and offer basic tips for maintenance, their expertise is limited when it comes to diagnosing and treating underlying issues. This is where the specialized knowledge of trichologists becomes invaluable.
By bridging the gap between cosmetic solutions and medical expertise, trichologists play a vital role in helping individuals achieve optimal hair and scalp health. Their comprehensive understanding of hair biology, coupled with advanced diagnostic tools and treatment modalities, allows them to address a myriad of concerns effectively.
In essence, trichology offers a holistic approach to haircare, blending scientific insights with practical solutions to empower individuals to overcome hair and scalp challenges. Whether it's addressing hair loss, scalp conditions, or promoting overall hair health, trichologists are dedicated to providing personalized care and support to each client they serve.
Causes of Hair and Scalp Disorders
Trichology unveils a fascinating insight into hair health, shedding light on the multifaceted nature of hair issues. While stress or depression can act as catalysts, triggering or exacerbating these concerns, trichology reveals that the root causes often extend beyond surface-level explanations.
Delving into the realm of trichology unveils factors contributing to hair woes, from autoimmune disorders to nutritional imbalances and beyond. This holistic perspective emphasizes the interconnectedness of physical and emotional well-being, urging individuals to embark on a journey towards optimal hair health.
Intriguingly, trichology challenges conventional notions by unraveling the influences shaping hair conditions. By embracing this multidimensional approach, individuals can unlock new insights and strategies to nurture their hair and scalp, creating a vibrant and resilient mane.
Easy Ways to Treat Scalp Issues
Scalp issues can be bothersome, but incorporating simple habits into your routine can make a significant difference. Instead of attempting drastic lifestyle changes all at once, focus on small, sustainable adjustments that you can maintain over time.
One easy yet effective practice is staying hydrated. Proper hydration supports numerous bodily functions, including hair growth. Additionally, consider investing in silk pillowcases. Their smooth texture minimizes friction, reducing the risk of hair breakage while you sleep.
When it comes to nutrition, incorporating dates into your diet can offer hair-boosting benefits. Dates are packed with vitamins B and C, essential for promoting hair health. However, moderation is keyâaim for around three dates per day to reap their nutritional rewards without overindulging.
By integrating these straightforward strategies into your daily routine, you can proactively address scalp issues and promote overall hair wellness, all with minimal effort.
Exploring Hair Treatment Trends and Solutions
In the quest for a healthier scalp, many individuals turn to products designed to exfoliate, aiming for a deeper cleanse. However, it's crucial to approach scalp exfoliation with caution, as excessive scrubbing can inadvertently lead to breakage and damage.
While Minoxidil presents a promising solution for hair regrowth, its efficacy varies, working effectively for approximately 70% of users. Consider undergoing a genetic test to assess your likelihood of responding positively to Minoxidil. Keep in mind, though, that these tests may come with a hefty price tag.
Before embarking on any treatment regimen, it's essential to explore all available options. Some professionals may lean towards medication without discussing alternative solutions first, so it's vital to be well-informed and advocate for your preferences.
While genetic hair loss may not have a cure, proactive measures can help slow down its progression, offering hope and options for managing this common concern.

When men start to lose their hair, they may feel like thereâs nowhere to turn. In this episode of HairPod, our host, Kevin Rolston, and cosmetics/beauty expert Christopher Erstner discuss how our culture impacts your average manâs journey with hair loss. Listen to Christopherâs personal journey with hair loss and how he fits into a larger story about investing in how you feel about your appearance.
Christopherâs Journey
Christopher first reckoned with his hair loss in his twenties. He ended up shaving his head and investing in hats he liked. Hats had limitations: he couldnât wear a hat to his sisterâs wedding. He knew he wasnât interested in hair plugs or a toupee â at the time, these solutions were not very convincing and were often the butt of ridicule.Changing Your Appearance as a Man
There isnât much space for men to say things like, âI donât like something about my appearance. Iâd like to change that.â Women have always been expected to be âwell-keptâ â making changes to their appearance has been relatively common in our culture for many decades. Now, more hair loss solutions are available to men, and those options are of higher quality than those from decades ago.Sharing His Experience
Christopher is always aware of his system. While most people donât think much about their hair system once theyâre used to it, Christopherâs experience fitting wigs makes him really conscious of how his system looks. He doesnât come out and tell everyone about his system, but he is open with people who see his appearance and comment on how perfect he looks. He wants people to understand that his appearance is something he has worked on and developed. While Christopher is open about his system, he understands why many men feel like they canât be. Men donât often have space to discuss their hair issues. In the cosmetics industry, Christopher works with many female clients, and occasionally, their husbands feel comfortable speaking to him about hair loss because they know he has experienced it himself.Thanks for listening to HairPod.

Chemotherapy affects the body in numerous ways, with hair loss being one of the most common side effects. In this episode of HairPod, Kevin Rolston, our host, welcomes Carol Combs, a cancer survivor, to share her story. Carol's journey through hair loss was about more than just her appearance; it deeply impacted her sense of self. Tune in to discover how Carol rebuilt her confidence and reclaimed her life.
Carolâs Diagnosis
When Carol was diagnosed with cancer, doctors gave her three weeks to three months to live. She immediately started treatment, which included chemotherapy.
The chemotherapy was able to help Carol survive, but it wreaked havoc on her body, causing fatigue and hair loss.
She took a step back from working at her job due to fatigue, but losing her hair caused her to retreat in a completely different way.
The Impacts of Hair Loss
While Carol is typically an extrovert, her hair loss impacted her confidence so much that she just wanted to hide from everyone.
When Carol was given speaking opportunities at work, she would offer those opportunities to others because she didnât want to be in front of people.
Carol says that during this time, she felt âless than,â as her hair loss took away her desire to work with people, one of the great joys in her life.
Getting Her Hair Back
Carol attended a meeting at a support group called âIâm Too Young for Cancer.â She met a young woman there who had a system from HairClub.
She was so impressed with the hair system that she made an appointment to visit HairClub.
Carol clearly remembers the first time she wore her hair system. She was working a large event for her job and felt like it was the first time she had her old self back.
What is HairClub Like?
Carol has been going to HairClub for almost 30 years. She describes the staff as empathetic and caring.
Carol has been to a few HairClub locations throughout the United States and found that connecting with a new Club is smooth and easy.

In this episode of HairPod, we delve into the often-overlooked link between stress and hair loss through the personal journey of our guest, Dan. Sharing his experience with our host Kevin, Dan opens up about his challenges, the emotional toll, and the steps he took towards recovery and acceptance. Join us as we explore the impact of finding yourself again after hair loss, and how showing up for yourself and getting the care you need can ultimately have a ripple effect on those around you.
Danâs Journey
Being a rock star and performing has always been Danâs dream. From a young age, he was encouraged to use music as a way to express himself and overcome his shyness. Now, Dan is a musician, actor, model, and he participates in the Iowa League of Heroes, a group of people who dress as superheroes to visit kids in need. Danâs hair loss journey began with stress - going to university and working took a toll on Dan, and he struggled to maintain healthy habits. Hair loss occurred as a result. -
Amniotic band syndrome is a rare condition that affects 1 in 1,200 to 15,000 kids. Abby Jensen grew up with this condition, and in this episode, our host Kevin interviews her to ask her what it was like for her as a kid and how having a hair system was able to help her confidence. At 24 years old, Abby is sharing her story to help kids and their families who are going through challenges similar to what she faced.
What is Amniotic Band Syndrome?
Amniotic band syndrome happens to a baby in utero when the amniotic sac rips and the motherâs body tries to repair it. It can lead to scarring on the babyâs skin.
What makes Abbyâs case so unique is that her head was affected by the amniotic band as opposed to her limbs or extremities.
Because of the scarring on her scalp, Abby has never had hair on the top of her head. She has some natural hair around the back and sides of her head.
What Was it Like for Abby?
Because Abbyâs scalp looked different, she got lots of stares as a little kid. Before using her hair system, Abby wore hats and a wig to protect her from onlookers (and the sun!)
Her parents were very committed to ensuring that she had hair by the time she went to school, so they started working with HairClub when Abby was just four years old.
Abbyâs new hair stayed in place throughout all of her activitiesâshe could swim, dance, and play like any other kid.
Abbyâs Hair Solution
Abby has worked with the same stylist for all 20 years that sheâs been with HairClub. They have a great routine - the stylist knows exactly what Abby likes.
Abby and her stylist have customized the routine and care to meet Abbyâs needs. Recently, they stopped using glue to help hold the system on and are just using tape. This way, Abby can remove the system as needed.
There is no real difference in time or maintenance when it comes to daily styling or care for her hair system. Abby likes to spend a lot of time styling her hair, and with her system, she can do pretty much anything any young woman with natural hair can do.
Sharing Her Story and Strength
When she was young, she hid the fact that she had a system. Although having hair helped her confidence, she wasnât ready to talk about her journey.
By sharing her story now, Abby wants to help kids with amniotic band syndrome and their parents see that things will be okay.
Abby wants kids to know that itâs okay to be different from other kids, and she wants parents to be strong for their kids and know that their kids will grow up to be strong, too.

Whether you know someone who has experienced hair loss or are going through it yourself, youâve probably seen or experienced the stigma that comes with it. Thanks to people like Jordan, that stigma is starting to break down. Never one to shy away from the spotlight, Jordan has taken his hair journey in stride and shares it with others every step of the way.
Genetic Hair Loss
Many of Jordanâs male family members lost their hair in their early twenties, so Jordan knew he was genetically predisposed to losing his as well.
Jordan was only 17 when he noticed his hair loss. He was a college student when he first started shaving his head.
While he thought he looked good with a shaved head, he looked significantly older than his age. In his early twenties, he felt self-conscious about looking much older than his girlfriend.
Seeking Solutions
Early in his hair journey, he tried many solutions before getting his first hairpiece.
Jordan doesnât shy away from the spotlight. When he got his first hairpiece, his TikTok followers commented about how great his hair looked, and he didnât hesitate to show them that it was fake!
Many men worry about showing up one day with a full head of hair after being fully or partially bald. Jordan was able to take it in stride, but if youâre concerned about this, Jordan recommends starting the process of finding your hair solution early.
Impacts of Finding His Hair Solution
Jordan likes to cut his own hair and enjoys going to the barbershop for a fresh fade. His hair solution means these experiences are still a part of his life.

Postpartum hair loss is an issue that many mothers face, but few talk about openly. In this episode of HairPod, we sit down with Jessica-Marie Laurent, a professional in the hair replacement industry for over ten years and a mother who experienced postpartum hair loss. She shares not only her unique story but also some amazing information on how to maximize regrowth.
Jessica-Marieâs Journey
Most women who have children experience some postpartum hair loss. Jessicaâs hair loss began after she stopped breastfeeding her son.
She discovered her hair loss when she began to shed a lot of hair in the shower and it gave her a feeling of panic, even though her pediatrician had warned her it could happen!
Jessica works in customer service, so her image is important to her. She found ways to conceal her hair loss, but it still affected her emotionally.
Coming to Terms With Hair Loss
Even though she works in the hair solutions industry, it still took Jessica-Marie two months to decide to seek treatment.
Acting quickly makes all the difference. To regain as much of her hair as possible, Jessica knew she had to start the process quickly and overcome her denial.
How She Ensures the Maximum Amount of Regrowth
Clean and cleanse: shampoo and conditioner formulated to support her current situation helped her keep her scalp clean and healthy.
Low-level Laser Therapy: Infrared light penetrating the first few layers of skin at the hair follicle helps reduce stress on the follicle. This helps hair follicles grow new hairs.
Multivitamin: Just like people take pre-natal vitamins during their pregnancy, a âpost-natalâ vitamin is helpful in maintaining healthy hair, skin, and nails. Consult with your doctor before starting or ending a vitamin regimen!

Losing your hair in high school isnât just nightmare fodder; itâs a reality for many young people. In this episode of HairPod, we interview Nick Wilkins, a full-time content creator and influencer. His story showed us how hair loss can affect your confidence, enjoyment of life, and even your job⌠but also that there is hope when you find a solution that works for you!
Genetic Hair Loss
Nick knew many of the men in his family were bald, so he knew he would lose his hair eventually.
It started a lot earlier than Nick expected. When he was in his senior year of high school, he started losing quite a bit of hair. Initially, He was in denial, but it became clear his hairline was shifting.
Early Struggles
Nickâs hair was an important part of his self-image. When his hair began falling out noticeably, he tried to use headbands to hide it.
As a full-time content creator, Nick was used to the limelight. His hair loss made him quit posting online because he didnât want anyone to see him or comment on it.
Exploring Solutions
Nick wondered what was causing his hair loss. He talked to his hairdresser about it as well. She thought there was nothing he could do.
He began to search for solutions - he wanted to prove that idea wrong. He made his first consultation appointment at HairClub.
To give him a little extra confidence, Nick brought someone along with him to the consultation.
Once he started working with the HC team, he saw amazing regrowth results and found the confidence to start sharing online and posting again!

Hair loss is a universal issue, transcending age and gender. From children to adults, many face the challenge of hair thinning or complete hair loss. At just nine years old, our guest, Heather, began experiencing the overwhelming urge to pull out her hair. By her early teenage years, she was diagnosed with trichotillomania. Join host Kevin Rolston as he engages in an enlightening conversation with Heather Brooke - a licensed professional counselor, beauty pageant champion, and the mind behind the childrenâs book, "Whereâs My Hair? A Trichotillomania Story for Children."
âWhat Happened To Your Eyelashes?â
After experiencing a traumatic event at 9, Heather's coping mechanism manifested as pulling out hairsâstarting from her eyelashes, moving to eyebrows, and eventually her scalp. Because she had naturally long eyelashes and voluminous hair, the impact remained concealed from her family for a while. When her family began to take notice, Heather hid the truth â that she was pulling her hair out. A discernible bald patch on Heatherâs head was the turning point, prompting her family to explore possible remedies.Trichotillomania Couldnât Hold Her Back
Unfazed by her hair loss challenges, Heather Brooke courageously participated in beauty pageants throughout her life, from childhood and into her adult years. As a young contestant, wigs and clip-in extensions became her trusted companions to help cover the bald areas. In 2017, Heather competed in the Ms. Woman Colorado United States pageant. Her association with HairClub provided her with optimal hair solutions and she ended up taking home the crown!Seeking Treatments
Throughout her life, Heather has explored various treatments. It is an ongoing process, as she still struggles with trichotillomania today. Not much research has been done on trichotillomania, though it is a recognized mental health disorder. Her hair system from HairClub covers the âtrigger pointsâ caused by her trichotillomania which reduces her urge to pull her hair out.âWhere Is My Hair? A Trichotillomania Story for Childrenâ
Heather is now a licensed professional counselor and has worked with kids who also have trichotillomania! One of her young clients inspired her to write a childrenâs book that could help them understand trichotillomania better.Resources

Join our host, Kevin Rolston, on this episode of HAIRPOD⢠as he and Joey discuss Joey's journey with alopecia, an auto-immune disorder that results in hair loss. Discover Joey's initial reaction to alopecia and how he found his ideal hair solution.
Alopecia: Itâs Not a Botched Haircut!
After a regular trip to the barber, Joeyâs wife noticed some patchiness in the hair on the back of his head. Over time, the lack of new hair growth in these areas became evident. A consultation with his dermatologist confirmed alopecia. Defined as an auto-immune disorder, the root cause of alopecia remains a mystery, though stress and genetics are speculated to be potential triggers.Testing the Hair System, NASCAR-Style
Being a two-time NASCAR champion, a husband, and a father, Joey Logano leads a fast-paced life. He needed a hair solution as dynamic as himâand he found the perfect fit. Temperatures inside a stock car can be up to 30 degrees hotter than the outside air. Joey was pleasantly surprised when his hair system withstood the internal car heat AND his racing helmet. It didnât budge!Nervous About Trying a Hair System?
For those folks considering making that step to seek out a solution, Joey's advice is straightforward: Dive in. If youâre worried about the judgment of others, remember that the people who care about you will support you in improving your self-image and life!Resources

Welcome to our first episode of HAIRPODâ˘, the podcast where youâll hear people tell their hair loss stories. In this episode, our host, Kevin Rolston, talks with hair loss professional Jeff El Zenny. Listen in to hear what the podcast is all about!
Our Hair Loss Journeys
Kevin started losing his hair in his mid-twenties. He knew it was coming, thanks to his genetics, but he still wasnât ready to go bald at such a young age. Jeff was in high school when he first noticed his hair loss. He became self-conscious, which caused him to retreat into his shell.Getting Our Hair Back
Jeff says that getting his hair back was like getting his life back. Whether working out in the gym, going on dates, or hanging out with friends, Jeff was back in action. After Kevin got his hair back, he wanted to test its limitations, so he went in a Jeep with the top down, went off a high dive, and even through a hurricane simulator.Dealing With the Stigma
Kevin always assumed that everyone either had to embrace going bald or they could wear a hairpiece that didnât match their hair at all. He didnât know what options were out there.Thanks for listening to HAIRPODâ˘. We hope you enjoyed this episode. If you did, please leave us a rating or review wherever you get your podcasts.
