The Truth About Why So Many Black Women Are Losing Their Edges

Описание: In this powerful episode of The Certified Man, I sit down with Connie Judge, a seasoned cosmetologist and trichologist, for a deeply needed conversation about hair loss, scalp health, hidden shame, and the truth Black women need to hear about their hair.

From the myth of “protective styles” to the real reasons edges are thinning, Connie breaks down the difference between beautifying hair and actually understanding hair and scalp health. She also shares why so many women are unknowingly damaging their follicles, why young girls are experiencing hair loss earlier than ever, and why real healing starts with knowledge.

This episode also goes deeper than beauty. We talk about the emotional side of hair loss, the pain of hiding it, the role of vulnerability in relationships, and why silence can be more damaging than the issue itself.

If you’ve ever wondered why hair stops thriving, why scalp care matters, or what Black women need to stop doing right now, this conversation is for you.
