About Me:

I lost hair to alopecia at the age of 9 and have been wearing wigs for about 5 years now.

After meeting with many doctors and specialist after specialist, my mother realized that my hair loss was not as temporary as she first thought and purchased my first wig.

This was a synthetic net-based product simply purchased from a store and I found it itchy and uncomfortable, in no time al all it was looking dull and very 'wiggy'.

I began wearing a suction based product that was the best available at the time. It gave me back the lifestyle I had missed, I could play as a normal child, took up netball, squash, horse riding and swimming. Whilst it felt secure, and so gave me confidence,

Around 2 years ago I was introduced to a wig that changed my life. Finally a soft base that was comfortable, and fine implantation that looked so real. My self-esteem soared, for the first time I was proud of my hair, and I could have it coloured and cut like everyone else. It was so undetectable that even close friends, and boyfriends didn't know until I told them.
It was only 2 years ago that I began to be more open about my hair loss.
