My hair loss began 6 months after giving birth to my baby boy back in 2022 - I always joke and say he stole my hair and great lashes as he has so much hair! It started as patches which quickly progressed to full hair loss within about 3/4 months, then followed by my lashes and brows going too. It was the hardest experience to ever go through, but time really does help you get used to a new routine without hair. I am so excited to be modelling in this years Aderans Charity Fashion Show, to help inspire other individuals through their hair loss journey.

In December 2023, I decided to take back control of my alopecia. I stopped wearing the semi-permanent hair systems I had been reliant on for 15 years, shaved my remaining hair back, and decided to have fun wearing different wigs in the process. My alopecia began at the age of 13 and, like many others, it had detrimental consequences on my self-esteem. Wearing the semi-permanent hair systems gave me my confidence back; however, the fear of people discovering that the hair wasn't my own became a far greater issue than the original hair loss itself. It wasn’t until I began working in the hair loss industry that I realised how many others were also feeling this way. The frequency of this shared experience motivated me to try and help others facing similar challenges. Since taking back control, I feel empowered and more confident than ever before. My wig collection is only getting bigger and bigger, but now I decide when and if I wear alternative hair in public. I hope that sharing my self-acceptance journey online will help someone who may be feeling the way I did during those 15 years.

My hair loss started after contracting covid. It caused nerve pain, exhaustion and hair loss. I decided to shave the rest of my hair off in aid of Alopecia UK and I have never looked back since! Every day I am learning more about the wonderful world of wigs and alternative hair. Last year I modelled in the Aderans Charity Fashion Show (Wig Walk) and I am honored to be raising money for these vital charities once again!

In recent years I was noticing thinning on the top of my head, I later found out that I have male pattern baldness. I decided to take action and try out a hair system from Aderans UK. Male hair loss can be a pretty taboo topic, but for me, getting a hair piece has been life changing! Day to day I feel so much more confident! I can't wait to spread awareness and have some fun at this years fashion show!
