Hair can define who we are and who we want to be. We build our personalities on it, our identity around it, spend thousands on it, build careers around it, make political statements with it and are devastated & lose ourselves when we lose it. But at the end of the day, it's just hair…right?
As someone who's been hair free for the past 15 years due to alopecia, Amber Jean Rowan is pretty obsessed with hair.
This podcast will explore some hair-raising tales with extraordinary guests discussing their hair journey & what hair really means to them. From strong women facing hair loss of all kinds, to famous celebrities hairstylists, drag queens, trichologists and hair historians, we'll explore every strand of why we believe hair means so much to all of us.
Just a heads up... this may get hairy!

Amber sits down with author and activist Kajal Odedra to discuss Hair/Power: Essays on Control and Freedom, her book about the profound relationship between hair and identity.
Kajal also shares her personal journey of self-acceptance, growing up in a traditional Indian family in a predominantly white environment and finally finding liberation and empowerment through her activism and writing.
This episode explores the complexities of hair, cultural pressures, and the importance of reclaiming one's identity. Kajal's book and her experiences offer a powerful message of solidarity and empowerment.
