Kattan's Hair Loss Story

However, in her mid-30s, she noticed the baldness return. She mentions that after wearing a heavy faux ponytail hairstyle, her hairstylist took down the hairstyle and came off with some of her hair. The mogul revealed traction alopecia caused the hair loss from wearing the same style repeatedly.

Her Main Tips For Addressing Balding

While not exactly a long-term solution, Kattan covered up small patches with eye shadow. She says in the video that sometimes she'd mix it with keratin or hair growth serum to assist the hair growth.

Scalp care was another important point for the beauty entrepreneur who used both topical and ingestible vitamins. Laying off on styling products and blowouts also helped her. Kattan also mentions that she can no longer dye her hair.

Kattan has been vocal about dismantling some of the unrealistic beauty standards that women are subjected to. Kattan wants to open up conversations about taboo topics from editing and filters to homogenous expectations of facial and body hair. In an interview with "Byrdie," she highlights that things are only taboo when they're not openly spoken about.
