Hair loss. It’s one of those topics we often whisper about but rarely tackle head-on, especially among women. But the truth is, whether it’s a slow thinning, a widening part, or sudden shedding, hair loss is a reality for millions of women, particularly over 50.
In our newest episode of the podcast, Hair Today. Gone Tomorrow, we pull back the curtain on this personal and often emotional experience. Joined by experts and women who’ve been there, we explore everything from the causes of hair loss to how to style with confidence no matter what stage of the journey you’re in.
What’s Really Going On?
The episode opens with a deep dive into the why. Hormonal changes during menopause, genetics, stress, nutrition, and medical conditions all play a role. We discuss how to identify the root cause of hair loss (pun intended) and what options are actually effective, from topical treatments and laser therapy to dietary changes and scalp health.
More Than Vanity
Hair isn’t “just hair.” It can be a symbol of vitality, youth, and personal style. When it starts to go, the emotional toll can be surprising.
Options That Actually Work
From topical treatments like minoxidil, to platelet-rich plasma therapy (PRP), laser caps, extensions, wigs, and even scalp micropigmentation, we dive into what’s hype and what holds hope. Our episode also covers the importance of scalp care and nutritional support, especially for postmenopausal women.
Style Smarter, Not Harder
One of the most refreshing perspectives comes from our featured hairstylist, Stephanie Randall, who urges women to rethink how they approach hair altogether. Instead of forcing your hair into a shape or texture it fights against, she recommends working with your hair’s natural tendencies.
“Instead of wrestling your hair into submission, start asking what it wants to do,” she says. “You’ll spend less time, less money, and look more effortlessly beautiful.”
She shares practical styling tips for women with thinning hair, including:
- Light layering to add lift and movement
- The best cuts to make thinning areas less noticeable
- Scalp-safe volumizing products
- Strategic parting and color placement to create dimension
- Why embracing texture, even gray or wiry strands, can be freeing
The Confidence Shift
This episode is about more than hair. It’s about evolving your sense of beauty. Whether you choose to treat, style around, cover up, or go bold and bald, it’s your journey. And you deserve to feel confident every step of the way.
