Trichologist Exposes Scalp Myths You Need to Stop Believing

Join us for an inspiring conversation with Christine McMillan, founder of Scalp Garden and licensed trichologist, whose path to scalp health is anything but conventional. From military service to an organic pig farm, living among the Maasai tribe in Tanzania, and climbing Kilimanjaro — her life experiences have shaped a deeply holistic approach to hair and scalp care.

In this episode Christine breaks down the real connection between gut health, nutrition, stress, and your scalp. She debunks popular myths and explains why your hair may be your body's earliest warning system for something bigger beneath the surface.

Whether you're a hairdresser curious about trichology, struggling with hair loss, or simply want to level up your scalp health — Christine delivers the knowledge, empathy, and encouragement you need.

Because healthy hair starts at the root — and the root starts with you. 🌱
