THE SECRET TO OVERCOMING HAIR LOSS
LUSTA HAIR
CHAPTER 1
Holly's Hair Loss Story
I tried SO MANY different wigs, synthetic, human hair, vacuum suction wigs, fully
custom made, store-bought, online-bought and more! Some of the pieces
came close to what I wanted, but overall, they just weren’t ‘me’.
That’s why working with Lusta Hair, and being able to design our pieces to tick all
of my boxes, and the boxes of girls like me with no hair. has been a dream come
true! Throughout my teen years and my twenties, my hair was on my mind nonstop. Do people know I’m wearing a wig? What if they ask about my hair? Now, I
hardly remember I’m wearing hair at all. Maybe that’s because finally my wigs
are light-weight and comfortable. Or maybe it’s because they are the most
realistic wigs I’ve ever owned. Or maybe it’s being a part of the empowering
community of hair loss queens. Whatever the reason, that comment made all
those years ago by the boy on the playground definitely doesn’t hold the same
power over me as it once did.
Hair loss can be so isolating, you only feel truly understood when you meet
someone else who has gone through it too. You just immediately get each other
on a whole other level. Working at Lusta Hair, I get to meet women all over the
world every day, and I can see on their faces when I am the first person they
have ever met like them. I remember when I first met others with alopecia, it was
absolutely epic, and now I get to have this experience over and over and
encourage and support other women to work on their confidence and selfesteem. And I get to hold their hand as they take a huge, and often emotional,
step into hair-wearing, which is something I know from experience can be very
daunting and confusing on your own.
After nearly 30 years of living with alopecia, I want women with hair loss to know
there is a community of people out there just like them. More than half of
women experience some kind of hair loss in their lifetime. I try to never let my
hair loss hold me back, and that is made so much easier with the support of the
hair loss community. So that’s my hair loss story! I’d love to hear yours too. Click

can be to find someone to talk to when you’re not out of the ‘hair closet’ yet.
We’re always here to listen!
Lots of love, Holly xx
