In part two of our series on hair, we turn to women’s experiences and explore how hair shapes identity, femininity, power, and perception. Priyanka and Hari unpack how hormones, stress, nutrition, and aging affect women’s hair, and what it means when thinning begins, even subtly. They also dig into the biology of hair, the history of grooming norms, the role of race and beauty standards, and the medical options available for women experiencing hair loss. Because whether you choose to shave, straighten, laser, supplement, treat, or shave it all off, it is your body and your choice to make.
