Actress Deborah Secco reinforces her trajectory as an active voice on self-knowledge, female self-esteem, and real beauty by becoming an ambassador and partner of Mais Cabello, a brand specializing in hair health based on science and technology. Living with androgenetic alopecia, Deborah explains that her decision goes beyond commercial representation: it stems from personal identification with the cause and the desire to broaden access to reliable information about a problem that emotionally affects thousands of women.
For the actress, there is still a mistaken separation between aesthetics and health, especially in hair care — one of the first physical signs of hormonal changes, stress, and emotional imbalances. In defending the idea that hair health is part of holistic body care, Deborah highlights the impact of hair on how women perceive and present themselves to the world, reinforcing that self-esteem is not vanity: it is well-being and awareness of one’s own emotional state.
Between an intense professional life, motherhood, and multiple roles, Deborah affirms that she has learned that self-care needs to fit within the routine, and not the other way around. With simple and consistent practices, she seeks to inspire other women to take care of themselves in a realistic and achievable way, showing that small daily choices can transform their relationship with themselves. For the actress, this is the greater purpose: to unite health, science, and communication so that more women feel safe, informed, and confident.
Deborah, you’ve always been known for speaking openly about self-awareness, real beauty, and female self-esteem. How do these values connect with Mais Cabello’s purpose and your decision to become a brand ambassador?
I’ve always spoken openly about my issues with real beauty and self-esteem, and androgenetic alopecia is part of that. I live with the condition, I know the emotional impact it has, and I know how much it affects the self-confidence of many women.
So, when I discovered Mais Cabello, everything made perfect sense to me. It wasn’t just about the product—it was about scientifically based hair health, about a real understanding of the problem.
That’s why I wanted to become a partner. I didn’t just want to represent the brand; I wanted to participate in the project, help deliver reliable information and real solutions. It’s a company that aligns with my background and what I stand for: transparency, care, and real results.
Mais Cabello unites technology, science, and human care in a single purpose. In your view, what is still missing for women to understand that caring for their hair is also caring for their health and emotional well-being? What is the importance of this specific visual element in reflecting on everything else?
I think we need to stop separating aesthetics from health. Hair isn’t just about looks: it reacts to hormones, stress, diet, and routine. It’s a marker of what’s happening in the body and emotionally.
When a woman understands this, she begins to see hair care as part of holistic self-care. And hair has a direct impact on how we present ourselves and perceive ourselves. It’s not vanity, it’s information about our overall well-being.
Amidst so many roles and phases of life — actress, mother, woman — how do you balance the pursuit of self-care with the intense pace of your career and the desire to inspire others to feel good about themselves?
I’ve learned that self-care needs to fit into a routine, not the other way around. I juggle a thousand roles, but they all work better when I’m feeling good. So today I prioritize doing the basics well: sleep, nutrition, and a few quick self-care rituals. And I think it’s important to show this: a real woman, with a busy schedule, who still finds time to take care of herself because it changes everything in her daily life.
