Supporting hair growth through chemical burns, scarring alopecia and menopause.
Angela Fields is from Florida. She first experienced issues with her hair when she suffered from chemical burns, following the use of relaxer to straighten her hair.
She then began to experience thinning in perimenopause, and discovered that she had a deficiency in Vitamin D.
After these issues were resolved, she then developed a scarring condition, central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, known as CCCA, and has had to undergo scalp injections and biopsies to help to identify and treat this .
Hair health at this point became extremely important to Angela, but, as she has an allergy to fragrances, she found that she was unable to use 96- 98% of haircare on the market that contains fragrance. She decided to make something for herself in her kitchen, but after being laid off from her job in the corporate world she was pushed to take the product range to market.
She now works to help & support those with hair health concerns, particularly leading up to the menopause, and has created a supportive community where she offers education and advice.

What is the scalp microbiome and why is it important?

Dr Andrea Echeverry is a microbiologist & immunologist who studies the impact of modern living conditions on the scalp microbiome.
She also offers SMP and specialises in camouflaging hair transplant scars. She works with transplant surgeons & dermatologists to promote the importance of the scalp microbiome.
We discuss what a microbiome is, and why do we need it!
We look at why microbes can be important, and how conditions like dandruff are a form of biofilm in dysbiosis, and how microbes can also be found inside the dermal papilla & hair follicles.
Dr Andrea also shares how hair transplants affect the natural microbiome, and what products mean when they advertise themselves as 'microbiome friendly'.
