My hair loss story is a common one these days. The gist: I had so much hair, hormones and COVID-19 did a number, and, before I knew it, I lost a good half of my hair’s length and density. Restoring my hair health has been nothing short of a journey. I’ve done three treatments of PRP (where a doctor draws my blood, isolates growth factors in a centrifuge, and injects them back into my scalp to kickstart follicle growth), AlmaTED (a less invasive version of PRP), and tried every hair growth shampoo and serum on the market.
At the start of the year, I finally reached a point where my hair felt strong again. But it refused to grow past armpits—until I started working with hairstylist extraordinaire Temur Hamilton, who own TEMUR on the Upper East Side in Manhattan. He’s put me on a steady schedule of monthly trims (a hard pill to swallow for someone accustomed to getting one haircut a year) and recommended a handful of products and heatless hairstyles. The result: my hair has doubled in thickness and grown around two and a half inches in just a few months.
