Today’s episode may be a triggering topic if you are going through a similar experience, so please seek support if you need it.

We often talk about hair loss related to immune system issues or chemotherapy treatment, but something I haven’t discussed on the podcast before is experiencing hair loss in order to undergo a medical treatment.

Tropic Ambassador Helen Chidgey shares her journey through the challenging mental recovery of sudden hair loss pre-treatment, as well as the slow physical recovery, feelings of isolation post-op, and how she discovered a new career and purpose to navigate her life going forward.

Hopefully, this episode will inspire and support anyone going through a similar operation, showing that you are not alone on your journey.

Many people experiencing hair loss might visit their GP or end up on a long waiting list for dermatology.

Most of my clients have never heard of a Trichologist—specialists in hair and scalp who can also diagnose conditions.

We discuss different aspects of hair loss and the challenges people face, as well as the amazing treatments Kate provides in-salon to give your scalp some much-needed self-care.

Today I’m speaking with Dr. Jemma Boyle, who has Alopecia and shares her journey openly on her social platforms to support others going through similar experiences.

We talk through her story, beginning when she first noticed signs at just ten years old, right through to now, in her thirties.

Jemma opens up about the support she’s received, how hair loss has affected her day-to-day life, and the reactions she’s faced from colleagues — from wearing a wig, to going without, and then returning to work with regrowth after starting medication.

After trying different medications over the years, Jemma has now explored JAK inhibitors, and we discuss what that involves and how it’s made a difference in her life.

With Jemma’s medical background, she explains the process clearly and insightfully, making this episode really valuable for anyone wanting to understand more about what’s involved.

I hope this conversation helps anyone who’s currently making difficult decisions about whether taking medication for hair loss is right for them — and how to begin exploring that process.

As always, please be mindful that these are personal opinions based on one person’s experience. Everyone’s body reacts differently to medication, and not all results will be the same.

Always consult your GP for professional advice before starting any new treatment or medication, and take time to make informed choices that are right for you.

Are you losing hair on your eyebrows or lashes through chemotherapy treatment, or experiencing loss through alopecia?
 Are you looking for someone who can carry out brow restoration and leave you feeling confident about the outcome — confident enough to take that next step and book the appointment?

Then this is the episode for you.

In today’s episode, we’re talking — as ever — all things hair loss, but this time focusing on eyebrows. As we know, brows frame the face, and without them, it can make us feel not quite ourselves (speaking from experience!).

I’m joined by Zara Rouse, who provides award-winning permanent makeup at The White House Clinic, (now @littlelondonclinic) in Leamington Spa.

Many of my clients — whether through oncology or dermatology — often ask, when purchasing alternative hair, “What am I going to do about my eyebrows?” if they know they’re going to lose them.
Permanent makeup is always my go-to recommendation. It’s one less thing to worry about when there’s already so much going on, and it can make such a difference in how we feel when we look in the mirror.

Zara is incredibly passionate about her work and wants the best for every client. She now runs an academy to train others to the same high standard.

With a phenomenal background in hair loss — having worked at some of the most renowned clinics, including Harley Street — Zara brings a deep understanding of her clients’ experiences and how to create the best possible brow restoration, helping restore the best version of you.

If you’d like to get a feel for what she does, visit her website — you can even take a brow quiz to find the perfect brow style for you!

If you’ve ever wondered whether or not to go for brow restoration, this episode is for you — and I think you’ll find you’re in safe hands with Zara.

I hope you enjoy the show!

 In this episode, I talk with Mia from The House of Christine headwear brand — a name many of you may already know and love, and perhaps even wear one of their beautiful products yourself.

We talk about who House of Christine are, how the brand came to be, their values, and their vision for their clients.

With making our clients feel good at the heart of both our businesses, we discuss the mindset around hair loss — whether that’s through treatment or Alopecia — the challenges people face when looking for alternatives, and the strength that can be found within the hair loss community.

We also explore the different materials that work best in various weather conditions — something many of my clients ask about. We’ll also be discussing what makes House of Christine stand out from other headwear brands.

The journey of acceptance and finding confidence in trying new alternatives to hair — and the strength that takes — is something we both see in our clients every day. Giving people options and helping them feel better about themselves is at the heart of what we both do, so I thought it would be wonderful to come together and talk all things hair loss and headwear.

I hope you enjoy the show.

I am so excited to share this episode with you!

Today, I’m interviewing Trichologist Emma Furlong, who works for the Aderans Group and also runs her own independent clinic.

I really wanted to get some of those questions answered that anyone experiencing any form of hair loss has been wondering about.

There are so many things we could talk about when it comes to hair loss, but the main focus of this episode is the relationship between hair loss and nutrition, and how we can help improve our hair health. If you’re in the early stages of hair loss, what should you start questioning?

One of the first foundational questions — if the reason for your hair loss isn’t already obvious — is nutrition. In our interview, Emma uses some brilliant analogies that make understanding hair growth really simple. She breaks down what we need to consume nutritionally to achieve optimum hair growth.

So, before you reach for the Biotin or other supplements, listen to this episode!

I hope you enjoy the show — and if you do, please rate and review! I’d really appreciate it.

In this episode, Katie and Emma talk about topics such as:

• What is Trichology?
• What is hair made up of?
• What happens during a Trichology appointment?
• The relationship between hair health and nutrition
• Blood tests — what should we be looking for?
• Foods that can positively impact hair health
• Supplements and their role in hair growth
• Steps to take if you’re experiencing early signs of hair loss

In this episode, we talk about how it feels for men to lose their hair.
 It’s a controversial topic, as it’s often assumed that men experiencing hair loss are “okay” with it — but after fitting many bespoke hair systems for men over the years, I’ve seen the other side.

Men experience many of the same types of Alopecia diagnoses as women, not just male pattern baldness. It can deeply affect their confidence, how they see themselves, and how they believe others perceive them.

This is a really important conversation to share with guys who may feel self-conscious or whose confidence is affected every time they walk out the door because of hair loss.

Duncan is incredibly honest and eloquent in this interview as he talks about his journey with hair loss — an experience he found, and still finds, deeply traumatic.

I’m so grateful for the courage it took for him to speak so openly, with the aim of helping and supporting even just one other man going through a similar experience.

So please, share this episode — it might just start a conversation that someone really needed to have.

In this interview, Katie and Duncan discuss topics such as:

• Men’s hair loss
• Alopecia Areata
• Men experiencing Alopecia Areata
• Alopecia UK support groups
• Visiting the GP
• Getting a diagnosis
• Trichology appointments – with Eva Proudman
• Nutrition and hair health
• Family support
• Negative thinking vs. positive thinking – mindset
• Discussing Alopecia with friends, family, and in the workplace
• Hair loss and the social stigmas surrounding men and hair loss

Whether you’re listening because you’re experiencing the same thing, or you simply want to gain a better understanding of this topic, you’ll come away with a real sense of how mentally tough hair loss can be.

There’s something in this episode that will resonate with anyone experiencing any aspect of hair loss — so grab a cup of tea and enjoy the show!

As always, it’s a sensitive topic, and some parts may be upsetting. Please reach out for support if you need it.
