Your Hair is Your Identity

Kuda Mupawose, a board-certified trichologist, pharmacologist with over 25 years of experience in the hair care industry and founder of Feso Hair Care Brand, discusses the intricate relationship between hair and identity, particularly in the context of African and Caribbean women. She shares her journey from pharmacology to developing an organic hair care product derived from the plant Feso, explaining its benefits and the science behind it. Mupawose emphasises the critical role hair plays as a window to our internal health, linking hair health to broader physiological conditions such as hormonal imbalances and fibroids. The episode concludes with practical advice on approaching hair care and the importance of regular scalp health check-ups.
