Kyle Busch’s wife Samantha Busch is a social media influencer and believes in keeping it real with her fans. For topics that are often considered taboo, Samantha is often seen championing them. Like she had previously shared about her infertility journey and how she overcame it. Her discussing such common problems makes her relatable and is probably why she has thousands of followers on her social media.

And being an influencer who is often seen partnering with brands, it’s a preconceived notion that she’s supposed to look or act a certain way. But Samantha Busch doesn’t seem to be of that belief. She also took her fans on with her while she faced massive hair loss. She could have swept it under the rug but rather normalized the issue, making her social media space a forum to be open, share, and discuss such problems. Recently, she dwelled back on the dreadful time and sent a message to stay strong!

Samantha Busch dwells on her hair loss journey

Busch started facing the problem more than two years ago in November 2022. What earlier felt like a normal case of hair loss got aggravated as massive chunks of hair started to fall out. It was later diagnosed that Busch suffered from alopecia areata, an autoimmune disease that causes hair loss. It can also cause permanent hair loss among adults. Busch underwent many treatments and therapy sessions, including red-light therapy. Eventually, after never losing the will, the shedding stopped and Busch decided to share it all with her fans.

On February 23rd, 2024, she took to Instagram to share the story and her recovery journey. She wrote, “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.”

 

In the months that followed, Samantha Busch kept her fans in a loop about the situation, occasionally sharing updates. Her hair grew back rapidly, and she loved it, “So as you guys know I’ve told you all about my hair loss and I’m very excited to say that it is growing back and growing back a lot,” She wrote in another post on Instagram. Now Samantha is back to her previous self, but recently she stumbled upon the photos of her hair loss and chose to yet again talk about it to her fans.

In her recent Instagram stories, she shared the journey along with a heartfelt message, “I can’t believe this was one year ago today. I was so embarrassed and upset. And scared. I remember this patch fell out so swiftly and suddenly. Clumps were coming out daily. Thinking all of you today facing similar situations, I know it’s not easy to stay positive when the hair won’t stop falling out. I pray you find your answers to solve it too.”

Along with talking openly about problems, Samantha Busch shares all the titbits about her family on her Instagram page. And with the NASCAR Cup Series season over. The off-season family fun has already started!

What are the Busch’s doing until the 2025 season resumes?

The 2024 season was one of Kyle Busch‘s worst ones. He remained winless in 2024, breaking his 19-season race-winning streak, and got a P20 season finish, his worst since 2005, Busch’s debut full season in the Cup Series. But what’s done is done and Samantha Busch decided to find some cheerful moments from the season in her latest carousel post. Where she wrote, “People always ask how we handle being on the road most of the year between Kyle and Brexton’s races. The truth is, every track, every town, and every season brings its own magic and memories. From long days at Milbridge to moments that remind us why we love this life, it’s all about being together. The 2024 season in photos — because home is wherever I am with you all.”

While family time is important, the off-season means Brexton and Lennix are joined by a third kid! All three, including Kyle Busch in Samantha’s post, were seen doing donuts in their respective toy cars. It was captioned, “What “off-season” day 2 looks like at our house.” Well, fun apart, despite it being an offseason Busch has decided to take up some racing. He’s foraying into the midget car racing realm where he’s never stepped before.

Kyle Busch recently announced of running in the Chili Bowl 2025. On this note, he recently said, “The Cup Series season may be over, but the Racing season is still in full swing with the biggest events on dirt taking place over the next couple of months. The Chili Bowl is a legendary event and has always been on my wish-list. To be able to compete there, and then alongside my son Brexton at the Tulsa Shootout, is making this year one to remember.”
