Reclaiming My Identity: A Hair Story

this is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to post but it’s time. I’ve struggled with my hair loss for over a decade now. And in my 20s I just hid it with hats and alcohol. It came to a point where I didn’t even recognize who I was. Mentally and physically. I’ve decided because I’ve always been a person who not only loved doing hair but I loved having hair. I hated the stigma attached to being bald and name calling as superficial as it may sound it took over my life. I now have an opportunity to make this dream a reality and heal that inner child in me that never had a chance. My close family and friends know how much this has crippled my confidence and all around way of living. I’m no longer allowing myself to be that person. I’m in the steps to getting a hair replacement because I’m not mentally ready for a medical procedure I know it’s a lot to ask and I would never take money from anyone but if anyone can help or even share this. It’s very costly but just the love I’ve receieved from my familyy and friends have meant the world. I’ve never been the one to ask for help but this is life changing for me. Thank you for being kind to me even though everyone knew my insecurities.
