The filmed podcast
Join Dionne Lewis-Reid and Thanyia Moore for candid conversations, infectious humour, and deep dives into confidence, identity, and life without the assumption that women need hair. Every reason is valid, every voice is heard, and no explanations are needed.
Core podcast segments
Starting in January 2027!!
Hair Not Necessary will release fortnightly 30 to 45-minute filmed episodes on YouTube, with full audio available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Every episode mixes laughter, vulnerability, and expert insight across our signature pillars.
The bald truths
Listener queries, honest confessions, and funny public encounters. We answer real questions about awkward assumptions, dating, and workplace realities with zero sugarcoating.
Scalp care & style
From bold earrings and vibrant make-up to scalp hydration and sun protection, we explore how women celebrate individuality, fashion, and personal expression on their own terms.
Expert conversations
In-depth interviews with trichologists, dermatologists, oncology nurses, therapists, and headwear designers offering practical advice and emotional reassurance.
Inside our first twelve episodes
Our inaugural series addresses the spectrum of bald and cropped experiences—from deliberate style statements to medical hair loss, relationships, and modern womanhood.
Foundational journeys & identity
We launch with episodes such as Hair Not Necessary: Why We're Here, detailing Dionne and Thanyia's vision. Follow-ups include The Big Chop, exploring the choice to shave, and When Hair Loss Isn't a Choice, confronting alopecia, medical treatments, and grief with absolute emotional safety. Further episodes such as Bald, Black and Beautiful examine heritage, texture, and cultural representation.
Relationships, culture & resilience
Episodes like Dating Without Hair and The Men Have Opinions tackle romance, perception, and societal pressure with wit and honesty. We unpack hormonal shifts in Menopause and My Hair and celebrate self-worth in The Confidence Conversation, before closing with Meet the Community to spotlight listener stories.
