Hair is not a common thing in my family. My mom's the only one whose got any. I started losing my hair in puberty around age 12-14. Oddly enough my hair was also poker straight until then. Around 14 I got this frizzy patch in the back of my crown area that eventually spread to my whole head leaving me with a head of luscious ringlets. Not luscious for long though! My hair continued to slowly thin and by age 26 I was sitting wide awake in hair transplantation surgery listening to the crunching sound of the donor scalp area being removed from my head. I was lucky, it was not a bad experience, and I have absolutely no visible scarring. The little hair seedlings grew in while the hair remaining continued to fall out. Not a good solution for a young woman! At age 32 I started wearing integration pieces, then I tried adhesive pieces, and then back to an integration piece. Like everyone else, the costs of the units coupled with the cost of service and transportation and the inability to even touch-up my own unit left me in debt and constantly in fear of what I would do if my unit got loose or slipped off (this did happen with the sewn in integration unit). What if this happens, what if that happens? I was afraid to even go on vacation. I had no control over my own hair.

In 2007, I spent close to $7,000 on hair and service. I was broke, annoyed, frustrated and well, you name it, you’ve probably been there! Through an exhaustive search for a better solution I found HD. Just prior to ordering from HD my self-confidence was at an all-time low. I didn’t know how I could live with this “hair thing” the rest of my life and I was considering going the dreaded wig route. After just the first month of regaining control of my own head and hair with HD, I could not believe how much my self-confidence and self-esteem improved. It really happened that quick. Now I'm back wearing virtually undetectable bonded pieces and couldn't be happier.

Hair wearing is a journey all it’s own. It seems a bit odd to say that and sometimes I just feel that I must be overly vain, but the truth is that what you see in the mirror truly affects how you feel about yourself, at least for me it does. I used to pray every day for my hair to grow back but just the opposite happened. I guess my prayers were finally answered in a roundabout way after all, thanks to HairDirect.
