An insight into a career as a Hair model

Kate Palmer is an international hair model, working with brands such as Wella and L'oreal, and modelling for some of the best hairdressers worldwide and creating images for the British Hairdressing Awards.

Her first venture into modelling was to enter Miss UK!

We look at the stresses and strains on your hair of being a hair model, what happens when you choose the wrong job, and the importance of only working with professional, reputable brands.

Kate shares her worst experience of being a hair model, which could have potentially ended her career.

She talks about how, having short hair means that people make assumptions about her and how she feels she gets treated differently because of it, including getting overlooked for certain campaigns.

Being a positive female role model for her daughter is very important.

How hair loss can affect your body image

This episode explores how body image can be affected by changes in your hair, and why it's important to seek help from a professional as early as possible.

Sarah Grant is an image consultant and NLP practitioner.
She has worked with cancer charity look good feel better, to help and support ladies going through treatment.
She helps people find their best colours when shopping for clothes, and identifies their wardrobe personality, but she says its not always about the clothes. Your internal dialogue can be just as influential on the way you perceive your body. Internal conflicts and limiting beliefs can impact your confidence for years.

We look at how hair colour and texture can change as you age, along with skin tone and complexion. Many ladies experience fine or thinning hair, especially as they get older.
Just as you may change your hair colour slightly with the changing of the seasons, you might need to think about changing your hair colour, and the colours that you wear, depending on the season of your life.

Telogen Effluvium ~ Why you shouldn't blame yourself for hair loss. 

Bente Jakobsen has had a series of devastating events in the last five years, but despite her many ordeals, she says that losing her hair was one of the most devastating experiences of her life.
In 2017 she was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive breast cancer and had a double mastectomy. She lost her hair during chemo, but it grew back again.
She then lost her mum due to medical negligence
6 months later her dad committed suicide
6 months after that, she got divorced, and one month ago they found cancer again and she had a hysterectomy.

Despite all this, she met the love of her life and is due to get married, and just as she found happiness, she started to lose her hair!

Her hair was shedding drastically and showering was a traumatic experience.
She describes how she learned to love herself and change her mindset to be mentally supportive of herself instead of being hard on herself.

She shares how once she started to talk about her hair loss, she found that she was not alone and wants to share her story to normalise female hair loss and help others.

PTSD induced hair loss ~ The road to recovery

Julie Wilcox-Jones had just moved to South Africa when her house burnt down in a fire storm that wiped out over 700 homes over three days.
Her and her family lost everything. She was in shock and afterwards she had panic attacks, and didn't want to go out and socialise.

As her life slowly started to return to normal, she noticed that her hair began to come out in handfuls, her hairline was receding and her scalp was becoming visible. Losing her hair really knocked her confidence.

She has a background in clinical trials for medicines related to gut health, and believes that our gut health and diet have a huge impact on our hair health as well as our overall health.

Following her traumatic experience, she started to take collagen, as recommended by her hairdresser at the time, who had kindly invited victims of the fire to come to the salon to get their hair washed and blowdried.

She describes her recovery as being like a phoenix rising from the fire, as a new, stronger person.

Losing hair after cancer treatment ~ finding your 'new normal'.

Ania Kasprzak shares her story of her ten month long fight with triple negative breast cancer- one of the most aggressive types!
And yet despite this, and her previous heart attack, or maybe because of these, she believes in the power of positive energy and community.
She says that following her cancer treatment, one of the most emotionally difficult moments for her was when her hair started to come out in handfuls.

She describes her experience with no hair as a mainly positive one, with people being nicer to her, and sharing their own stories with her. She didn't feel that wigs were for her, and so she went around bald or sometimes wore a hat, if it was cold!

We explore how beating cancer can feel like just the beginning, and how there can be a huge journey of recovery after, where life is slightly different and you have to find a new routine, including filling your time which was taken up with hours and hours of treatment.

She also talks about how waiting for her hair to grow back in was torturously slow and a very emotional time for her.

Whilst looking for something positive to fill her time, she took a stained glass course with Kent Adult Education. She took inspiration from the stained glass windows of her childhood catholic church, and started making angels, using recycled materials to help create them.
She finds this therapeutic, and in this way is managing to touch the hearts of many and spread her positivity and love.

How confidently embracing your grey hair could propel you into a life of authenticity and success.

Roxanne Gould describes herself as a 'Grey Haired Activist'! Encouraging ladies to embrace their natural hair colour, celebrating diversity, authenticity and uniqueness.

Roxanne's modelling career began at just three years old.
She has lived in New York and Europe, modelling for Vogue and on the runways.
She claims to have the second longest career in the fashion industry, in part due to her unique look by not colouring her hair. At the time she was concerned that this would end her career, but it has propelled her into a whole new niche.

We discuss how a healthy mindset is key to having positive energy, and she describes how she is now free of many concerns around her hair due to not having to colour it.

We also look at her haircare tips to keep grey hair looking and feeling the best.

Alopecia Areata ~ How reducing stress is important in combating hair loss
'Permission to do nothing'

Denise Ferguson specialises in Property Law, mentoring salon businesses, negotiating salon leases and helping to deal with any conflicts or problems in salons.

Denise used to work for the NHS, but realised, when she had to raise the rent on a Salon who fitted wigs for cancer patients, that she was working for the wrong side! She now enjoys working with and supporting salon owners, giving them more confidence and knowledge.

She first experienced hair loss at 18 years old.
We talk about how she first noticed bald patches in her hair, but didn't get it checked out as she was living on her own, and was embarrassed and ashamed to ask for help.

Denise describes how when her hair started to grow back, it was a completely different texture!

We explore how stress can trigger patches of alopecia to start to appear, and how this can be a warning sign to look at stress levels and slow down.
