Hair Glossary| Defining Commonly used Terminology when Talking about Hair


Listen Later

When listening, do the terms used in discussing hair loss and hair growth, sound like sldjfshfkdfsfjdfjsdfjl? Don't worry, you are not alone. Understanding is key to enjoying this podcast, and that is why in today's episode, I go over commonly used terms like alopecia, anagen, cicatricial, etc and explain them. 

I want you to use this as a reference. So anytime you are lost, or do not understand, or just want a refresher, come back to this episode and listen to the easy definitions. You can also download the episode, if your data permits. I defined them in ways that are easy to understand and remember. 

This will be a repeat occurrence so you can have a dedicated episode that just goes over the terms. 

As usual, if this was helpful, please follow and share- thank you!
