The Hair&Mental Health Connection with Dr. Afiya Mbilishaka - a podcast by Fat Mascara

Psychologist, hair stylist, hair historian, and clinical therapist Afiya Mbilishaka, PhD, is here to talk about why hair (and caring for it) can be an entry point to mental-health services. She explains why hair is sacred in many cultures around the world, especially in some of the African cultures she’s studied. Plus: why hair loss can be so devastating; the importance of hair stylists in Black communities; how to have a better relationship with your stylist—and what’s really going on when someone gets breakup bangs. She also tells us about plans to expand her work thanks to a grant from Maui Moisture.
