How maycalamawy's hair loss journey inspired her storyline on Ramy:
May Calamawy was 22 when she first lost her hair. She was in Dubai at the time and didn’t know what to do. She tried to look for answers online but she could only find forums that told her that her hair would never grow back. And so she cut her hair short and vowed to never look at forums about alopecia again.
In the show’s second season, which premiered on May 29, Dena has an episode where she notices a bald spot on her head. She does everything to make her hair grow back, including rubbing a clove of garlic and oil on the spot, but nothing works. The episode was inspired by a conversation she had with creator Ramy Youssef about a bout of alopecia she had while filming Ramy.
On how Dena differs from other characters she’s auditioned for “I’ve never seen a role like this ever, ever, ever. When it comes to Middle Eastern roles, it’s mostly a woman who’s fighting for some major cause or trauma in her life. She’s protecting her children. Just really high stakes. This was a girl in a family who understands both cultures of the Middle East and America, and it felt so familiar to me.
On how Ramy changed her relationship with her hair “In season 1, I didn’t want to leave my hair curly. It was just so humid that I didn’t have a choice. By leaving it curly, a lot of women contacted me and would talk about how it was revolutionary to them and how it’s helped them accept their hair and now they wear it curly. I was like, ‘Oh wow. That wasn’t even my plan.’ Them reaching out to me helped me accept my hair. I haven’t not left my hair curly since then, which is huge for me.
