Everything We're Told About Hair Is Wrong with Dermatologist Dr Aamna Adel

from Anatomy of a Leader with Maria Hvorostovsky · host Maria Hvorostovsky

Dermatologist Dr Aamna Adel spent 13 years earning her title - then got told off by her hospital bosses for "dancing on TikTok". She ignored everyone, grew to 1.5 million followers, and launched rhute: the scalp-care brand that sold out three times with a 33,000-person waiting list, no investors and no co-founder. And along the way, she dismantles the biggest myth in haircare: air-drying isn't the gentle option - it's feeding the fungus on your scalp.Dr Adel is a Consultant Dermatologist, content creator, founder of rhute, and a mother - though ask her what she does, and the answer is always "dermatologist first". In this conversation with Maria Hvorostovsky: the medical-school rejection her twin sister didn't get, why hair-loss brands exploit desperate people, what actually works for your scalp (and in what timeframe), and the two-word answer to "how do you do it all?"──────────────────────────👤 FOLLOW DR AAMNA ADEL: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@aamnaadel IG: https://www.instagram.com/dermatologist_adel/ rhute: https://rhutehair.com/ 152 Harley Street: https://www.152harleystreet.com/specialists/aamna-adel/───────────────────────────🎙 FOLLOW MARIA HVOROSTOVSKY:IG: https://www.instagram.com/anatomyofaleader/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/mariahvo/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariahvo/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@maria.hvo/ Website: https://www.anatomyofaleader.com/Artwork and video by https://www.londonbeautyphotographer.com/
