When I found the hair loss community, over 7 years ago now, I was honestly in AWE. I was suddenly surronded by so many strong, powerful, resourceful women who were taking back the confidence that hair loss stole from them. The hair loss community has been a life changing space for me, and so many other women.
Although social media can sometimes be a dark place, these are 8 women who are working to inspire others and provide such empowering advice.
