    Women’s Hair Loss Breakthroughs: Red Light, FUE Brows/Beard, JAK Inhibitors & Vortiporfin (Dr. Melissa Toyos)

    Women’s Hair Loss Breakthroughs: Red Light, FUE Brows/Beard, JAK Inhibitors & Vortiporfin (Dr. Melissa Toyos)Kellie Rhymes, a women’s hair loss support and authenticity coach, interviews Dr. Melissa Toyos, a board-certified ophthalmologist and partner at Toyos Clinic (Memphis, Nashville, New York City) who now focuses on hair restoration research and procedures. Toyos shares how treating NFL cheerleaders’ lash and hair-extension damage led her into hair science, noting major overlap with ophthalmology (anti-inflammatories, immunomodulators, prostaglandins like Latisse). They discuss how she selects among topicals, oral meds, lasers, PRP/injectables, and surgery based on patient lifestyle, plus why most care is cash pay, the role of genetic testing to predict responsiveness (minoxidil, finasteride, prostaglandins), and the need for thorough medical workups. She explains red-light device quality factors, technical precision in FUE for eyebrows/beards, and emerging innovations including JAK inhibitors and vortiporfin to reduce scarring and potentially regrow donor or scarred-area hair, with typical timelines and follow-up milestones.Links:Follow Dr. Melissa’s Blog on www.toyosclinic.com, Instagram at drmelissatoyos TikTok @drmelissatoyos.The Bougie Baldie TV Show Bald Confidence is officially out!

    THE BOUGIE BALDIE featuring guest Johanna Dahlman Part 1

    Kellie launches season two of the Bougie Baldie Podcast and interviews Johanna Dalman, founder of Alopecia Angel and host of the Alopecia Angel Podcast. Johanna recounts being diagnosed with alopecia areata after a stylist found a bald spot, seeing multiple doctors across Europe and the U.S., and declining pharmaceuticals due to fertility concerns and side effects. After four years of research and holistic healing, she regained her hair, resolved related symptoms, and later had a healthy pregnancy at 40. She explains her individualized Hair and Heal program, including a 12-page evaluation, functional medicine testing offered worldwide, and tailored protocols for various hair-loss types, noting many clients see shedding stop quickly and growth within weeks. Johanna critiques medication-driven healthcare, warns of risks such as JAK inhibitors, discusses progress with scarring alopecia, emphasizes community support via international coaching calls, and highlights her 200+ episode podcast; Kellie also promotes The Bougie Baldie Show on Zondra TV and sponsorship opportunities.Links:https://alopeciaangel.comInstagramFacebook Youtube The Bougie Baldie TV Show Bald Confidence is officially out!

    Kellie Rhymes hosts the Bougie Baldie Podcast and interviews Dena Stanley, a 50-year-old alopecia advocate and founder of Royal Hair Loss Studio in North Arlington, Texas. Dena shares that her hair loss began in her early 20s after a bleach treatment and is hereditary in her family, describing the emotional toll, attempts to treat it (dermatology injections, steroid treatments, products, oral minoxidil, and an FUT hair transplant), and the relief she felt after embracing baldness.  She explains her studio’s mission to provide a safe, private space for women to release trauma and build confidence, offering scalp-care services like clay masks, hot oil massage, steaming, and non-surgical hair replacement units, plus wigs and other styles. Dena discusses her support community, plans for insurance-billed units, a 2026 podcast, and expanding awareness and locations.

    Dreams to Discoveries: Morris Brown on Hair Loss Solutions and More

    Kellie welcomes Morris Brown to the Bougie Baldie Podcast to discuss his background in television, corporate training, and authorship, and how a traumatic brain injury from a rear-end car accident led to unusual side effects and a surge of invention ideas. Morris describes vivid lucid dreams, sensing the “personality” of food and the cook, and waking early with solutions that he develops using AI tools. He shares multiple inventions in progress, including a sugar replacement in liquid and flour forms that tastes like maple syrup, has zero glycemic effect, and is intended to mimic the effects of eating vegetables, plus other concepts such as a new propulsion approach and proposed solutions for tendonitis, Alzheimer’s, fibromyalgia, and hot flashes. The main focus is two hair-related inventions: Ravita Crown, a supplement intended to change hair texture via DNA reprogramming at the follicle level in about three months for people who already have hair, and Reset Protocol, designed to address multiple causes and types of alopecia with a goal of a full head of hair in six months; Morris notes simulated trials showing high success rates and says human trials and FDA-related steps require significant investor funding. He discusses a licensing strategy to work with existing hair industry companies. Kellie also highlights Morris’s 13 books, including Smart Fetus and the children’s series Hanging With the Girls, inspired by his time taking his daughters to parks in Los Angeles; the books use real park photos and he plans cartoons for each book. The episode closes with where to find Morris’s books, a call for investors, and Kellie’s reminders about her support resources and her Bougie Baldie streaming TV show on the Zondra TV network, plus sponsorship opportunities.Linkshttps://ihangwiththegirls.com/  / morris-brown-234b8b11  https://ktla.com/business/press-relea...Books - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CGNXL48S?...

    Finding Joy After Alopecia with Erika Hill | Bougie Body Podcast Season 2 Premiere

    Season two of the Bougie Baldie Podcast premieres with guest Erika Hill, a poet, social justice advocate, social entrepreneur, blogger, and author of the alopecia anthology chapter “Finding Joy After Alopecia.” The host announces the Bougie Baldie Show is now available on the Zondra TV Network (Apple TV, Amazon Fire, and Roku) and shares that this season will feature guests focused on women’s hair loss. Erika discusses her alopecia areata journey beginning during the stress of her father’s cancer diagnosis (2016) and his passing (2017), her experiences with locs falling out, dermatologist visits, ointments and injections, a 30-day JAK inhibitor clinical trial with negative side effects, and her decision to embrace being bald.  She explains triggers tied to grief and stress, ongoing scalp irritation, and strategies for coping such as journaling, meditation, music, and finding “childlike joy.” Erika shares why she contributed to the anthology to increase awareness and support children—especially Black girls—living with alopecia, and she reads an excerpted poem from her chapter. The conversation also covers her work as CEO of Vision Street Research, LLC, providing project management, workforce development training, market research, and data analysis for Black-led businesses and community organizations, including internships for youth focused on soft skills, career exploration, and self-care during the pandemic, plus financial empowerment work on Long Island.  Erika highlights advocacy through NAAF as a legislative liaison, including education around wig coverage and using data to broaden understanding that alopecia is more than “just hair.” She previews upcoming Joy After Alopecia merch and tools and directs viewers to: https://joyafteralopecia.com Links: www.JoyAfterAlopecia.com www.visionstreetresearch.com The Bougie Baldie TV Show Bald Confidence is officially out!
