Feel like your hair hits a certain length and just… quits? Board-certified dermatologist and Nutrafol Chief Medical Advisor Dr. Heather Woolery-Lloyd joins us to explain the difference between thinning, shedding, and breakage—and why identifying what’s happening matters. We discuss how stress, hormones, perimenopause, menopause, and GLP-1 medications can factor into hair changes, plus how heat styling, color, and hair porosity affect length retention. We also explore Nutrafol’s Strand Serum, how caring for your strands differs from supporting growth, and the habits worth reconsidering for healthier-looking hair.
