EP03 Hair After 40: Part 1

Click to Listen

Your ponytail's suspiciously thinner, your texture's changed, the grays multiplied, and suddenly your hair requires a negotiation. I sit down with Sherry Diedrich—my stylist for more than a decade, and someone who's guided women through this exact shift for 40 years (and lived it herself). This is basically what you'd hear in a salon chair from someone who isn't trying to go viral.

We cover thinning vs. breakage, what actually helps thinning hair, gray strategy, dryness and frizz, heat and color damage, why DIY color is a bad idea if you want salon results, how to find a great stylist, and what's actually worth paying for.

A note: this episode is for general education, not medical advice. If you're dealing with sudden shedding, bald spots, pain, sores, or inflammation, please check in with a dermatologist or healthcare professional.
