I started this business as I know what people go through when hair loss effects them.
In 1965 my hair started to thin on my head, it got to the stage where I had bald patches, I was taken to the doctors as my mum could not believe what had happened to me. The doctor said I had Alopecia Areata meaning patchy hair loss, this is usually caused by a shock or a traumatic circumstance. I was devastated, in a few months I would be starting secondary school. Well time at the secondary school was traumatic when eventually I lost all my hair and had to start wearing a wig full time, at the time wigs were very false, I hated it. Every day was just a nightmare, the teasing and the sniggering comments from your so called school friends, I had very little confidence left in me, the most enjoyable subject was sport hockey, netball and athletics where I out shone most of them.
When I eventually left school, which believe me could not have happened sooner rather than later, I started working I still had total hair loss but I gained confidence with the people I was working with. I was dealing with the general public on a daily basis and soon found that my problem was only minor, I had my health, happiness and family around me that loved me for who I was, and although Alopecia Areata and Totalis would never go away the wigs today are more natural, sexy and glamorous and I feel I have 100% confidence wearing them especially when I get comments from people saying "where do you get your hair done it looks really nice, I wish I could get mine to go like that" what they don't know is it's a wig and it will always look lovely each day you wear it.
Just remember hair loss is not so traumatic it can always be covered up, other peoples problems are not so easy to hide.
