THE SECRET TO OVERCOMING HAIR LOSS
LUSTA HAIR
CHAPTER 1
Kim's Hair
Loss Story
Growing up, I had very thick hair. I’m talking hair
so thick, a whole team of hairdressers had to
blow dry my hair when I went to the stylist. I
didn’t think much about my hair growing up, it
wasn’t something I paid much attention to.

MY HAIR AT 20
YEARS OLD
Then one day, when I was just 19, I went to blow
dry my hair. I gathered all my hair together and
thought something felt different. My hair was SO
much thinner. Sure, I had noticed strands of hair
fall out in the shower or when I brushed it - when
you have thick hair, that’s normal. But how did I
not notice that half of my hair had packed up
and left? I remember running to my mum to
show her. She gave me one look, like she knew
this was coming, and said the words ‘androgenic
alopecia’.
For the next several years, those words held so
much power over me. Androgenic alopecia is a
genetic condition which causes thinning hair. It
can affect women of any age, but usually it
starts in your twenties. Your twenties?! I mean,
that’s supposed to be the time of your life, not a
care in the world, the least of your problems
should be hair loss, right? All my friends were
going out, having fun, and I was boarded up in
my bedroom researching ‘celebrities with hair
loss’. I felt I couldn’t tell any of my friends about
my hair loss. I felt so alone. I felt like I had lost a
part of myself.
