I used to be so worried that people would find out I was wearing a wig. đđŒââïžâ
â
I have had alopecia universalis since I was 5, I started wearing wigs at 7, and when I got to high school and all I wanted to do was fit in (like any teenager!) I was so anxious that people would find out I had no hair and had to wear a wig.â The psychological impact that having no hair had on me was huge. Experiencing hair loss is no easy thing to manage- especially as a teenager.Â
â
I didnât want anyone to touch my hair, talk about hair, look at my hair, nothing! I would avoid any and all situations that I could be âfound outâ, such as swimming carnivals, sleep overs, school camps, etc.â
â
This went on for years, and going into adulthood made things tricky, I found myself getting married and I still hadnât let my husband-to-be see me without my hair on!! (Finally showed him after weâd been married for 6 months đ)â
â
When I eventually decided that I wasnât going to let alopecia rule my life, everything changed.â And a lot of that I owe to finding a good human hair wig. A wig that felt like me. A wig that I wasn't scared was going to fall off if a strong wind decided to gust by. Having a wig that I could feel good in meant that I could start working on myself- without having to worry about my hair.Â
â
I am so much more than my hair. YOU are so much more than your hair.â
â
I know itâs scary at first, but it gets so much easier the more you start to own your hair loss.â
â
You have the power! Now I literally brag to people that I get to wear a wig, and they are jealous.â
â
People match your energy and you can choose how to share your hairloss situation with others. Share a sad story, and theyâll pity you. Own it, and theyâll envy you.â
â
âš Top tip: âšâ
âIâve lost my hair and I have to wear a wigâ â âoh noâ đâ
âI wear wigs and I get to choose my colour and style every day itâs so much funâ â âomg amazing I wish I could do thatâ đâ
â
Never let your hair loss hold you back from being everything you can be and living your life!â
