Kali: "Hair functions as the holy grail. A way for us to connect with each other. A unifying agent across gender, race, ethnicity, all of it."

There are so many things that can make you feel 'other'. No matter what it is, you are not alone. How is community critical to your healing journey?

Here’s what we know: Barriers to birth control fall harder on Black, Indigenous, AAPI, and Latinx people, young people, immigrants, LGBTQ+ folks, and those working to make ends meet. Let’s #FreeThePill and make birth control more accessible for ALL.

I think the one positive of hair loss everyone can agree with. Shorter/less showers! Welcome to the club.

"Don’t get me wrong. I like showers. But it’s one thing off my plate."

Some people say they've been bathing less during the pandemic. And it's a habit they might keep. https://t.co/jpsVP2XUrG

What is something about your hair that may seem small to others, but is actually a big deal? #hairishealth #MentalHealthMatters #selfcare #LupusAwarenessMonth

[Head to Head Doc @HeadtoHeadDoc]

Hair loss is one of many identity-related traumas. #hairloss changes the way you interact with the world, which then changes the way the world interacts with you, and so on…We acknowledge innumerable other stigmatized challenges that weigh on the mind, spirit and body like this

[Head to Head Doc @HeadtoHeadDoc]

#MentalLoad Those things takin up space in your brain; blockin your ability to be fully yourself; that you carry alone because you’re unsure anyone understands; isolation compounding the mental load. This is #hairloss. This is anxiety #HairIsHealth #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth
