Episode 117: From BS to Botox "Why Women Lose Hair... And What You Can Do About It"

There are moments in a woman’s life when something shifts, and you suddenly realize: this isn’t “vanity.” This is personal.

For many of us, hair is deeply tied to confidence, identity, femininity, and how we feel when we walk into a room. When mine began thinning due to DHT-related hair loss, it wasn’t just about losing hair — it felt like losing part of myself. The breakage, the wigs, the trial and error, the embarrassment, the frustration… it was a journey.

That’s why I was so grateful to meet Kelly Godinas, the brilliant hairstylist who helped me rebuild not just my hair, but my sense of self.

In this episode of Party’s Over, Kelly and I talk honestly about what really causes hair loss, why women don’t talk about it enough, and how modern hair extensions — when done correctly — can be safe, beautiful, and supportive of healthy hair growth. Kelly explains clips-ins, KT tips, tapes, and hand-tied extensions, and why choosing the right stylist is absolutely critical.

We also talk about scalp care, hair health, maintenance, and the emotional side of all of it. Because when your hair changes, it’s not “just cosmetic.” It’s emotional. It’s psychological. It’s personal.

And most importantly — you are not alone.

If you’ve gone through this, if you’re going through it right now, or if you’ve ever looked in the mirror and wished your hair looked like “you” again, I hope this conversation gives you knowledge, reassurance, options, and hope.

Because sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is look at something that isn’t working — shame, secrecy, self-doubt — and say:

Party’s over. I’m choosing confidence instead.

Here’s the truth.

PRX is needle-free.
It does resurface the skin.
It can dramatically improve tone, texture, pigmentation, and glow.

But let’s be clear: there is downtime — especially during your initial series.

Vita walks us through exactly what happens. The pressure. The burning sensation the first time. The blotchiness that can show up hours later. The peeling that often follows days after. None of this makes PRX bad — it makes it honest.

What makes PRX different from microneedling and lasers is that it doesn’t thin the skin. In fact, it was originally developed to help rebuild skin for pediatric burn victims — which tells you everything you need to know about safety and integrity.

Another key takeaway? You must commit to the skincare protocol. This is not a “when I feel like it” treatment. Miss the nightly serum, skip the routine, and your results will suffer.

Is PRX cheap? No.
Is it less expensive than lasers or Sculptra? Yes.
Is it worth it if you want visible improvement without needles or fillers? For many women — absolutely.

What I loved most about this conversation is that it empowers you to make choices from clarity, not fear or fantasy.

Because when it comes to your face, your body, and your confidence — hype helps no one.
