Recollecting his past experiences after the incidence of the early hair loss condition, he expressed how people could not notice its physical manifestation since the sport demanded him to always don a safety helmet. And when he is not riding, the NASCAR star would hide the truth under his hat. Even though the post began with a rather sad note, he mentioned how he was able to ease his affliction to a large extent.
Apparently, the solution to all his psychological woes came in the form of hair health experts at HairClub. In the video clip, Logano was seen driving around only to eventually stop and remove his helmet as an act of breaking free from the shame that was crushing the star from inside. Logano caressing his hair without a worry in the world felt like poetic justice to his nearly three-year-long battle.
