Pro Tip - Hair Loss: What Really Works, And When To See A Specialist

Loading player...
Time now for our Pro Tip, the segment where we learn something new, useful, and practical about everyday life, wellness, or money.

So yesterday, a whole debate broke out on the show when Kgomotso said she actually finds balding men attractive which led us to another interesting point her saying women experience bald too.

Today, we’re unpacking the truth about trending hair loss products, from minoxidil to rosemary oil and finding out what really works, what’s just hype, and when it might actually be time to see a doctor or consider a hair transplant.

To help us separate fact from fiction, we’re joined by trichologist Botlhale
Tshetlo, who’ll share expert insight on what's hype and just not worth it.
A trichologist is a specialist in the science of hair and scalp health who diagnoses and treats issues like hair loss, thinning, and breakage.
