Dr. Azi and Nurse Lacie are back with an episode that gets to the root of one of the most talked-about topics in beauty: hair loss. From hormonal imbalances to genetic causes and the latest treatment options, they’re breaking down the science behind why we lose hair—and what we can do about it.

Together, they answer your most asked questions: How do you know if you're really losing hair? What treatments actually work? Can you support your hair growth with the right ingredients? And what’s the deal with PRP, Spironolactone, and Dutasteride?

Whether you're dealing with shedding, thinning, or patchy spots, this episode of More Than a Pretty Face is packed with the facts (and a few rapid-fire fun moments, too).
