THE SECRET TO OVERCOMING HAIR LOSS
LUSTA HAIR
Like you, I tried everything to regrow my natural hair. I
tried: vitamins, biotin, everything hair skin and nails,
special shampoos, special leave-in sprays promising
hair growth, hair growth laser caps, injections in my scalp,
you name it, I tried it. I spent thousands of dollars to try
and regrow whatever hair I could. Hindsight 20/20 is a
precious thing. I would have spared the money on these
empty promises and put it all towards buying beautiful
hair that I could just clip in…and have an instant, flawless
result! It’s all a learning curve and we are here to hold
your hand every step of the way.
Holly: Since I have Alopecia Universalis, I have absolutely no hair on my body.
Buttttttt sometimes my body doesn’t seem to want to follow this rule and I’ll
occasionally get little hairs pop up. Like today. Today I felt something on my
arm, looked down and saw some tiny baby hairs glistening in the sunlight. I
assumed it was my cat’s hair, but after a little inspection I realised they were
my own. Hair….growing…. I immediately burst into tears. Why? I’m not really
sure. It was just the most normal thing I had ever seen, which reminded me
that my normal is not normal...
Yes, I’m fully aware that I am reminded of this every time I look in the mirror, but
this reminder was different. It made me really emotional. I was not okay, not at
all. But that’s okay. Some days I am invincible, nothing about my hair loss
phases me. And then, there’s days like today. Days where a little bit of arm hair
sends me into hysterics. But I don’t have to be strong 365 days a year, and
neither do you. You’re allowed to have moments, days, weeks, months where
you don’t feel okay about your hair loss. Most of the time I’m happy I get to
wear such gorgeous wigs and be part of such an amazing community. But
sometimes I think, damn this would be a lot easier if I just had hair.
Although both Kim and I have become pretty resillient when it comes to our
hair loss, we do still have our days. Hair loss is so uncontrollable and it can
feel pretty crappy to be in that helpless situation. But when I realise I do have
help, I have amazing friends, a supportive family and a fricken INCREDIBLE
wig, the weight seems a lot less heavy. None of us are perfect, and we're all
trying everyday to keep it all together. Hair loss isn't about reaching a final
destination of complete and total acceptance, it's about CHOOSING to love
ourselves everyday, despite our hair loss.
