    The HairPod Podcast is heading into its final episode for season one, but don't worry, we'll be back for season two! We're just making some exciting changes behind the scenes to bring you an even better experience. In this episode, we'll do a quick recap of season one and share why HairPod isn't going anywhere anytime soon. My guest, Donald Kelly, will also be explaining some of the things he learned from being part of the team and what you can expect in season two. Exploring HairPod's Journey So Far Twenty-five years ago, I started experiencing hair loss and began exploring different ways to manage it. With so many hair products out there, it was a struggle to find the right one to bring my hair back to life. That's why I created and became the host of this podcast. I became an advocate not just for men, but also for women and children who experience hair loss. As you may know, it doesn't always stem from one problem. Hair loss can come from using the wrong product, stress, or health conditions like alopecia. This is why my guests and I explore various hair topics to help you become informed about hair loss and how you can reclaim your crown. Good Hair Vs. Bad Hair Health One question Donald asked me was about the difference between good and bad hair health. How can you even tell if your hair is healthy if you're not actually losing any of it? One way is to have a professional at a HairClub examine your follicles. With the tools we have now, we're able to dissect hair follicles at a microscopic level to truly see the hair's health. This allows you to make informed decisions on the next steps to improve and maintain it. Experiencing Hair Loss as a Public Figure Hair is often tied to your identity, and losing it can have profound effects – for me, it was a nightmare experience. While some men might be fine with shaving their hair completely off, for me, being in the spotlight, it wasn't so easy to deal with. Posting pictures and seeing others comment on my bald spots really made me lose confidence. HairClub allowed me to get my confidence back and share the knowledge I'm sharing with you all today. HairPod Season 2: Expect Exciting Changes! Even though we're wrapping things up for now, that doesn't mean you shouldn't expect exciting new content from us! For Season 2, I'm planning to create more video content to share real, relatable hair loss stories. We'll be breaking down myths and spilling the tea on what's truly good (and not so good) for your hair. Be sure to reach out and stay tuned for Season 2! Resources Book a Free Consultation today!

    Joey Logano | Living The Fast Life: Work, Family and HairClub

    This week on HairPod, Kevin Rolston sit down with three-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Joey Logano for a high-energy conversation about racing, family, and confidence—on and off the track. Racing to the Top Joey shares what it feels like to cross that championship finish line and why those 15 minutes after a big win are truly indescribable. He explains the unique adrenaline rush of professional sports, where everything comes down to a single moment, and reflects on how the current NASCAR playoff system intensifies the excitement for both drivers and fans. Evolving With the Sport NASCAR is always changing, and Joey talks candidly about officiating challenges, adapting to new race formats, and the balance between staying true to NASCAR’s American roots while exploring global opportunities. He also opens up about strategies behind his success at tracks like Las Vegas, revealing why certain circuits bring out his best performances. Confidence and HairClub Off the track, Joey is just as passionate about looking and feeling his best. He speaks openly about his hair restoration journey, how working with HairClub has boosted his confidence for media appearances and TV work, and why he wants others to feel empowered to address their own insecurities. Joey’s advice: if you can fix something that bothers you, don’t be afraid to take action. Balancing Fame and Family When he’s not chasing the checkered flag, Joey is focused on being present for his wife and three young kids. He gives listeners a peek into off-season life—think four-wheelers, building trails, and plenty of outdoor fun. The Loganos’ family vacations? Non-stop action from sunrise to bedtime! Giving Fans the Inside Track Joey also shares highlights from the recent HairClub VIP Fan Experience at Daytona, which gave lucky fans exclusive behind-the-scenes access, garage tours, and race-day thrills—experiences that connect fans even more deeply with the sport.

    Kevin Rolston | Fitness, Supplements, and Hair Loss: What You Need to Know

    It’s springtime, which means many of us are feeling fired up and ready to get fit. But could your fitness regimen actually be causing your hair loss? This week on HairPod, we’re talking about how fitness supplements, testosterone treatments, and the stress of working out affect hair growth. Testosterone Treatments and Hair Loss When I hit a plateau in the gym, I got my hormone levels tested and found out I had low testosterone. Starting hormone replacement therapy helped me build muscle quickly, but it also kicked off the fastest period of hair loss I’d ever seen. That’s because excess testosterone can convert into DHT, the hormone that is most connected with male pattern baldness. Even if you’re not taking testosterone directly, supplements like creatine or certain protein powders can affect your hormone levels. And if you’re going through extreme dieting or high-stress training, your body could respond with telogen effluvium, a temporary but noticeable form of hair shedding. Hair Loss Solutions for Your Fitness Goals The good news is, you don’t have to give up working out to protect your hair. I’ve learned that it’s all about balance and working with knowledgeable professionals to tailor your fitness regimen to your specific needs. I do all of my hormone treatments under a doctor's supervision, and talking with a hair expert, like someone at HairClub, can help you understand how your supplements might be affecting your hair health. There are also quality shampoos and serums that can reduce the effects of DHT and support scalp health, which becomes even more important if you’re showering more often because of workouts. Healthy Choices for Your Hairline If you’re like me, you want to feel good and still keep your hair looking great. That means making the right choices for your body and being mindful of how you treat it. Choosing clean, well-balanced supplements, fueling your body with real nutrients, and getting enough sleep and recovery time can make all the difference. And if you’re ever unsure whether your supplement stack could be part of the problem, talk to a professional you trust. HairClub has been one of those resources for me.

    Rachel Rivera | Hair System Care vs. Regular Hair Care

    In this episode of HairPod, I sit down with my incredible HairClub stylist, Rachel Rivera, to explore the similarities—and key differences—between caring for a hair system and natural hair. Spoiler alert: it’s not as different as you might think, but there are a few extra steps to keep your hair system looking its best. How to Care for a Hair System Hair systems that are made of real human hair can be washed and dried just like regular hair. But what are the best practices for hair of all kinds? Rachel breaks down what to look for (and what to avoid) in your shampoo and conditioner. Many store-bought products contain ingredients like sodium lauryl sulfate, which can strip away natural oils and harm both scalp health and hair longevity. She also shares why buzzwords like "biotin" don’t always mean a product will work—and how to recognize what’s real versus what’s just marketing. Styling Hair to Prevent Hair Loss Hair loss or thinning isn’t typically caused by what you use to style your hair, but some products are not doing you any favors. Rachel explains how hard-hold gels, crunchy sprays, and excessive product buildup can cause breakage, whether your hair is naturally growing or bonded. She shares tips on which styling products to avoid and how to remove buildup without damaging your strands or your system. Scalp Care for Hair Loss Scalp care is skin care, and taking care of your scalp can help encourage hair growth. From blow drying techniques to scalp health basics, Rachel shares insight into how scalp conditions like dandruff or psoriasis can impact hair loss and how to address those issues. We also talk about heat styling: how to use it safely, what tools to avoid, and how brushing and tension can lead to damage, especially for those wearing hair systems. The message is clear: personalization is key. Resources Book a Free Consultation today! Thanks for listening to HairPod. We hope you enjoyed this episode.

    Dr. Phipps | Don't Get Fooled by These Hair Loss Myths

    Stop wasting time and energy on solutions that don’t work! This April Fools’ Day episode of HairPod, Dr. Angie Phipps returns to help us sort fact from fiction. From the idea that hats make you go bald to the belief that topical treatments cause breakage, we dig into the most common hair loss myths and reveal what the science actually says. Hair Styling and Hair Loss Let’s talk about traction alopecia—a condition that’s often misunderstood or missed entirely. Dr. Phipps explains how repeated tension from tight styles like braids, ponytails, or extensions can gradually damage the hair follicles. But it’s not all bad news: we talk about how to recognize early signs and what you can do to protect your hair if you've been relying on tight styles for years. Shampoo Ingredients to Help Hair Growth  If you’re trying to grow your hair long, taking care of the hair shaft is just as important as treating the scalp. Dr. Phipps shares tips for minimizing breakage and why gentle care matters. We also talk about how the wrong shampoo can do more harm than good. Harsh ingredients lurking in everyday products can contribute to dryness, breakage, and irritation, and knowing what to avoid is key. Hair Health Without Gimmicks  This episode is a reminder that hair loss isn’t something to be ashamed of—but the solutions we choose matter. When we understand the causes and treatments, we’re better equipped to make decisions that work for our lifestyle, our budget, and our health. As Dr. Phipps says, there’s no miracle product that fixes everything—but with the right approach, there’s a path forward that makes sense. Resources Book a Free Consultation today!

    Emily Kiberd | Environmental Factors that Could Be Causing Your Hair Loss

    If you’ve been battling hair loss and nothing seems to work, it might be time to look beyond the usual suspects. In this episode of HairPod, I welcome Dr. Emily Kiberd back to uncover a hidden factor many of us overlook: our environment. From mold exposure to gut infections, Dr. Kiberd explains how the world around us—and inside us—could be impacting our thyroid and, in turn, our hair health. To learn more about how the thyroid can impact hair loss, check out our other episode with Dr. Kiberd: Episode 048: Hair Loss and Hashimoto’s Disease. Hair Loss and the Thyroid The thyroid is a small but mighty gland that plays a significant role in nearly every system in the body, including hair growth. Symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, weight gain, and hair loss can be linked to thyroid dysfunction or autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s, but conditions like these can go undiagnosed for years. These conditions can be aggravated by difficult-to-detect factors that cause inflammation, such as mold, parasites, or internal infections. Environmental Hair Loss Triggers Hair loss can happen for a variety of reasons, and treating hair loss starts with understanding the root cause. Environmental stressors—like water-damaged homes, poor air quality, and even everyday chemicals—can disrupt your hormones and trigger hair loss. Dr. Kiberd shares real-life cases of patients suffering from hair loss due to mold exposure and parasitic infections, showing just how important it is to consider the bigger picture when searching for answers. Get Tested for Thyroid Issues Dr. Kiberd explains that working with a medical professional can lead to quicker and more accurate results when you begin your health journey. Testing for thyroid issues, gut health, and environmental toxins can give you concrete answers, though it is often up to patients to ensure that their doctors are asking the right questions. Hair Loss Solutions Start with Self Care Hair loss isn’t just about hair—it’s about how we feel in our own skin. Dr. Kiberd encourages listeners to prioritize sleep, nutrition, and awareness of environmental factors. Feeling better in your body is the first step to looking better, and that includes healthier, stronger hair. Whether you’re just starting your hair journey or have tried everything else, this episode offers practical, actionable advice that can help you take control of your health and your hair.

    Tyler Morehead | Hair Loss in Hollywood

    In this episode of HairPod, I sat down with HairClub model Tyler Morehead to talk about his hair loss journey, which started back in his early 20s when he was getting his start in Hollywood. From the tricks of the trade to finding the hair loss solution he plans to use for the rest of his life, this episode has it all! Hair Loss in His Early 20s Male pattern hair loss can begin earlier than you might think – in Tyler’s case, his hair loss began in his early 20s, right as he began to pursue his dreams in Hollywood. Like any aspiring actor, Tyler went to plenty of auditions, and seeing the other young actors show up with their perfect hair was tough on his confidence. Tyler still landed amazing roles in commercials and on soap operas like Days of Our Lives, and suddenly, his hairline was on display in front of the harsh camera lights. Even though his hair and makeup teams were able to help him look and feel his best, he knew that wasn’t a sustainable permanent solution. Finding the Right Hair Loss Solution Hair loss is a difficult experience for anyone to go through, and we all handle the emotions of it differently. As Tyler got older and his hair loss got more advanced, he knew the solutions he had used in the past were no longer going to give him the effect he wanted. Over time, he became numb to the emotional impacts of his hair loss. He was in search of a permanent solution and a way forward, and decided to shave his head. Because he had become so desensitized to his emotions, he didn’t notice how shaving his head had affected him emotionally, but during a phone call, his mother noticed that something wasn’t quite right. Hair Systems - Tyler’s Permanent Solution Trying a new hair loss solution can be difficult. Tyler didn’t know what to expect when he first reached out to HairClub, but he didn’t have anything to lose. When he tried on his first hair system, he felt the magic. Upon seeing himself in the mirror with his system on for the first time, he finally felt like himself again, and the weight of the emotions of his hair loss was lifted. Now, Tyler has been using a hair system for many years, and as he ages and his beard grows a little bit more gray, the stylists at HairClub adjust his system to match. For Tyler, he foresees wearing a system for the rest of his life. He feels younger and more confident with hair. Resources Book a Free Consultation today! Thanks for listening to HairPod.

    Kevin Rolston | Women's History of Hair Loss Solutions

    In honor of Women’s History Month, this week we’re focusing on the history of women’s hair loss treatments and solutions, from ancient times to cutting-edge modern-day solutions. Women’s History of Hair Loss Treatments Hair has always been tied to identity, beauty, and confidence, which is why hair loss in women hasn’t always been discussed openly. Ancient Egyptians used animal fats and oils in hopes of stimulating hair growth, while Roman women wore wigs often crafted from real human hair. Some of history’s so-called remedies were far from glamorous—Cleopatra’s hair loss treatment reportedly included bear grease and ground horse teeth. Even into the early 20th century, women had few options beyond hairpieces and home remedies. It wasn’t until more recent decades that medical advancements paved the way for effective treatments tailored to women’s hair loss. Causes of Women’s Hair Loss Hair loss in women often differs from men’s hair loss in a few key ways. Instead of receding hair lines around the forehead and temples or crown, women’s hair loss typically manifests as diffuse thinning, widening part lines, and decreased volume. The causes can vary—hormonal changes due to pregnancy, menopause, or PCOS can trigger noticeable shedding. Nutritional deficiencies, such as low iron or vitamin D, can weaken hair, while stress and autoimmune disorders may contribute to excessive hair loss. Genetic factors also play a role, as female pattern hair loss tends to develop gradually over time. The good news is that understanding the cause is the first step toward finding the right hair loss solution. Science-Backed Hair Loss Solutions for Women Today’s treatments offer real hope for women experiencing hair loss. Minoxidil remains the only FDA-approved topical treatment for female hair loss, helping extend the hair’s growth phase for thicker, healthier strands. Oral medications like spironolactone can help balance hormones for those whose hair loss is driven by excess androgens. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is another promising option, using light to stimulate hair follicles and improve scalp circulation. PRP therapy, which involves injecting platelet-rich plasma into the scalp, has gained popularity for its potential to encourage regrowth. For those seeking instant confidence, hair systems and toppers provide a natural-looking, long-term solution. Innovations like Xtrands from HairClub seamlessly integrate additional strands into existing hair, offering an immediate volume boost. Finding the Right Solution for You If you’re struggling with women’s hair loss, you’re not alone. Over 50% of women will experience some degree of hair thinning in their lifetime, but there are more options than ever before. Whether it’s a medical treatment, a cosmetic solution, or a combination of both, the best approach depends on the cause of your hair loss and what fits your lifestyle. To hear firsthand stories from women who have found success, check out our past episodes featuring Meg Weatherman and Carol Combs (links below). No matter where you are on your hair journey, solutions exist—and there’s hope. Resources Book a Free Consultation today! Thanks for listening to HairPod. We hope you enjoyed this episode.
