Samantha Busch is finally getting rid of something that has been bothering her for quite a while. The wife of NASCAR driver Kyle Busch never backs off from raising awareness on her social media. Previously she did share her journey with infertility openly. This openness and normalization of conventional issues by people deemed celebrities can be refreshing for people facing the same ordeal.

This time, Samantha opened up again on her social media and shared another distressful complication that had occurred in her life. While others could have easily avoided the details and secretly conducted treatments, Samantha’s direct approach displays her intentions.

Samantha has been dealing with massive hair loss for months. The continuous sheds frightened the 37-year-old lifestyle blogger and philanthropist. She even reached out to her followers for advice regarding this. The reason was not clear at first. However, after repeated tests and expert consultations, Samantha figured out that she was apparently dealing with a kind of alopecia.

Kyle Busch’s wife tried everything in her power to have it under control. She tried various hair supplements, underwent collagen treatments, and also got engaged in multiple therapy sessions, including red-light therapy. After constant efforts and a strong will, Samantha breathed a sigh of relief as the shedding finally stopped. She took to her Instagram account and shared this journey of hers.

Samantha Busch captioned the post, “I began openly talking about my sudden onset hair loss and was blown away by how many of you reached out experiencing the same. I appreciate the support, community and suggestions over the past 16 months that I’ve been on this journey. It has been tremendously helpful! I’m also grateful that my hair shed has stopped and that I’ve been able to gain my confidence back by wearing alternative hair (wigs, halos, ponytails clip ins etc.). I’m here for those of you experiencing this journey as well because I fully understand how upsetting and overwhelming it can be.”

She collaged heart-wrenching images of her extreme hair fall days in a video. As we are aware, alopecia can be permanent at times, which means that even if the shed minimized, there’s a chance that Samantha might have to continue with medication her whole life. According to her, she does feel self-conscious from time-to-time but has come to terms with the condition because this might be the new-normal for her.

Samantha Busch has always been a very active and open member of the community and always makes sure to double down on her philanthropic gestures.
