Send us Fan MailWhy I had to choose my hair over my acting career W/ Shalita Grant An actress since High School, Tony- nominated Shalita grant publicly quit a popular long standing Television show after suffering from traction alopecia, thinning hair and breakage in front of an audience of millions. Holywood's tendency to ignore the needs of actors with textured hair meant that Shalita faced daily hair practices and techniques that caused severe long term damage to her own hair. The producers did not understand or provide for the complex needs of her hair and this put limitations on her career.She also faced backlash and trolling online when she tried to wear a wig to minimise further damage to her own hair. At the time, she could see no other option than to quit the show.After overcoming her own obstacles, she created the Four Naturals treatment to renew, restore and rebuild her hair, which is now in the best condition and more manageable than its ever been. This meant that her public and traumatic hair experience has not had to lead to her abandoning acting or hiding her hair forever. She chose to heal, both inside and out, and is now finding ways to be able to be on set with her own natural hair.InstagramFacebookFour Naturals Hair & Scalp Salon Specialist course Support the showConnect with Hair therapy:FacebookInstagramTwitterClubhouse- @Hair.TherapyHair Therapy WebsiteDonate towards the podcast Start your own podcastHair & Scalp Salon Specialist Course ~ Book now to become an expert! Laser Hair Growth Cap | At Home LLLT Therapy | FDA Cleared | LIVDOR Save £50 off LIVDOR laser cap with code HAIRTHERAPYUK
