Hair can define who we are and who we want to be. We build our personalities on it, our identity around it, spend thousands on it, build careers around it, make political statements with it and are devastated & lose ourselves when we lose it. But at the end of the day, it's just hair…right?
As someone who's been hair free for the past 15 years due to alopecia, Amber Jean Rowan is pretty obsessed with hair.
This podcast will explore some hair-raising tales with extraordinary guests discussing their hair journey & what hair really means to them. From strong women facing hair loss of all kinds, to famous celebrities hairstylists, drag queens, trichologists and hair historians, we'll explore every strand of why we believe hair means so much to all of us.
Just a heads up... this may get hairy!
