The Snake Oil Era: Why Your Hair Growth Serum Isn’t Working
from Hair Lost and Found · host Erin Hayden
Are you being sold science—or just really good marketing?In this episode of the Hair Lost and Found podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain on what I call the "Snake Oil Era" of the hair industry. We’ve all been there: scrolling through social media and being targeted by bigname celebrities and "miracle" serums promising full hair in just seven days.But after 20 years in this industry, I’ve seen the drawers full of expensive, empty promises. I’m breaking down the red flags you need to watch out for, the truth about who actually owns your favorite shampoo, and why a "one-size-fits-all" product can never fix a personal health journey.If you’re feeling overwhelmed by products and ready for some real clarity, this episode is for you.Inside this episode:The "Red Flags" of hair marketing (and how to spot them in seconds).The Parent Company Secret: Why 80% of what you see on the shelf is the same formula.Why foam and fragrance are actually your scalp's worst enemies.My "Three Foundations" for finding a real strategy that works.Connect with Erin Hair Health: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/erinhairhealth/ Website: https://www.erinhairhealth.com/
