Fine hair & little confidence?! Let me tell you about my own fine hair journey…
Today I want to tell you about why I am so passionate about helping my fine haired brides feel confident on their wedding day.
Throughout my adult years, I have been unfortunate enough to suffer not only alopecia but also hyperthyroidism. For those of you who may not be familiar with these terms, alopecia is a condition where you lose body hair. This can be the hair on your head, eyebrows, eyelashes and it can really affect your confidence. In most cases the cause of alopecia is unknown, which is exceptionally frustrating. However, in my case, I had a strong feeling it was brought on by stress during a bad patch in my life! I was so disheartened with my patchy hair I decided to shave it all off and as it started to grow back, I kept it in a very short pixie cut for years to try and disguise the thinning.
After recovering from alopecia, I was hit with a diagnosis of hyperthyroidism! Bam! Unfortunately, one of the big side effects of thyroid issues, is commonly, thinning hair. Another hit to the self confidence!! This really affected me because I could see the back of my head in photographers photos getting my brides ready and it looked like I was balding! My self confidence was at an all time low here.
I tried many different types of hair extensions to try and disguise my thin hair! And I finally found an AMAZING hair extension gal who understood my concerns and recommended a lightweight, undetectable hair extension method. It is an absolute life saver for my confidence! Just having that hair around me gives me so much more confidence.
Throughout my years of bridal styling, I was listening to my brides at our consultations. The same concern kept coming up; ‘my hair is starting to thin and I don’t think I will have enough for the style I want.’
This is when I had the thought, I NEED to make these women aware that they CAN have the style they want!! They can feel the most confident they have ever felt for the most important day of their life!! Why should having fine hair affect your whole day?! The way you feel infront of the camera… It shouldn’t!!
So, here I am!! Trying to show other women, it is possible to have the style you want, even if your hair is thinning or on the finer side. I strive to find the best possible method to help you achieve whatever is going to make you feel AMAZING!! Whether that is adding in clip in hair extensions, hair fibres, coloured hair spray. Girl, I WILL have you feeling the best you have ever felt!!
Giving other women confidence and the ability to stand infant of the camera all day and not feel self aware is my passion. I have managed to achieve this for so many women! Many of my brides have turned round, looked in the mirror, the hand has flown up to the mouth and they cannot believe that their own hair can look that amazing!
It fills me with so much happiness!
If you struggle with thinning hair or hair that just doesn’t feel like your own anymore, I promise I will be able to help you feel amazing for your wedding day.
Don’t hesitate to send me a wee message and let’s talk about how you are feeling and how I can help you.
Love,
