A Really Good Cry The Real Reason Your Hair Is Falling Out - The Science of Hair Loss and How to Grow It Back for Good
Why does hair loss feel so sudden—and so personal?
Is it stress, hormones, diet… or something deeper happening in the body?
And why do so many “miracle” hair products never actually work?
In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi Devlukia is joined by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Noreen Galaria for a grounding, science-forward conversation about hair loss, scalp health, and what your body is really communicating through your hair.
Dr. Galaria breaks down the hair growth cycle using a simple seasonal analogy, explaining why hair loss today often reflects stress from months ago—and why patience is essential when it comes to regrowth. Together, they unpack the two most common causes of hair loss in women: chronic stress and hormonal pattern hair loss, and why each requires a completely different approach.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why hair loss has a 3-month delay—and what that means for healing
- The difference between stress-related shedding and hormonal pattern hair loss
- How cortisol and chronic anxiety affect hair growth
- Why scalp health matters more than most products
- What ingredients actually help (and which ones are overhyped)
- The truth about Minoxidil, biotin, rosemary oil, and onion juice
- How protein intake directly impacts hair density
- Why tight hairstyles can cause permanent hair loss
- What your hair can reveal about your overall health
This episode is a reminder that hair loss isn’t a personal failure. Your body isn’t betraying you, it’s responding.
