September is Alopecia Awareness Month. And for those of you who are new followers, you may not know that I have an autoimmune condition called Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, a scaring form that makes you lose the hair on the top front of your head, and cannot grow back as the follicles scar over. I was diagnosed a few years ago after I had a scalp biopsy. I try not to make hair loss a big part of my business social media page. But I also don’t want to hide it, because I worry people might see me without my wigs and worry that I am sick and therefore unable to work. And while I do love wigs and wear them often, there’s plenty of time when I don’t. Especially during Texas summers. Or if an install gets particularly hot, I’ve been known to just say screw it and let my head breathe! 👩🦲 But most of the time I fully embrace wearing hair and change up the length, color or style daily. It’s like choosing a different pair of shoes each day! Ladies, I have to say that I don’t miss my thin, patchy bio hair. With wigs, everyday is a good hair day. And shaving your head can be liberating. You gotta do you, though. I know for some, it’s really hard to think about doing that. And trust me, I have my moments too when I’m so self-conscious. Aren’t we all at times? And if I get down about it I think about all of the other blessings I’ve been given. I’d give up hair again and again for those gifts, like you-my family and friends. 💗
