@oliviamcveigh: It’s genuinely one of my most frequent thoughts around Alopecia and hairloss - how it changes us and our mindsets so much! #indentity #androgenicalopecia #alopeciajourney #hairloss #losingmyhair
Losing a part of yourself you dont want to lose is a form of living loss and it’s traumatic. Thank you for everything you do ❤️Because of you i know that im not alone in this.

Wore my topper to the office today for the first time… hope to one day be as confident as you about my androgenic alopecia and wig wearing. Love your videos and they give me so much hope for future me as I know it will progress. So lovely seeing someone like me on my FYP 🥰

Had alopecia since I was 12, I am now 25 and have done everything under the sun. Am also now 23 weeks pregnant and have lost nearly 80% of my hair and it’s been a huge emotional battle since I’ve never seen myself without hair like this. This video really helped thank you ❤️

Loosing my mum and the stress has made my hair really thin and my confidence is so low that I brought my first wig in hopes it helps build my confidence back up.

I know there’s people out there who say “it’s just hair I’d shave it any day” but no matter what you literally don’t know how it actually feels knowing that you can’t grow it back it’s out of your control your hair is definitely a massive part of you an when u lose it it does feel like you’ve lost a part of yourself 😢 iv had alopecia since I was 10 that’s now 17 years and I can honestly say it didn’t get easier as such it suckes but you just learn to live with it iv worn wigs off an on since then but id give my right arm to be able to grow it back ❤️

Yes!!! It’s such a hard thing to navigate. Once I started wearing my topper when I needed to a few years ago I realized how much of the worry and fear is based on what other people think. Once I realized most people don’t care or notice, it changed everything for me. I don’t wear hair at the moment cause my spots have slowed, I still struggle with the identity piece when it flairs up and have to remind myself that its not the only thing that makes me ME!

Thank you for this conversation!! I’ve been a hairstylist for 19 years so hair has been my entire life but I started losing my hair due to alopecia and it’s been the biggest internal struggle to lose part of my identity!

Love this. Raising my 11‑year‑old “bald baddie” has been a journey of stares and whispers, but he’s turned it into pure joy. Whether he’s rocking his hair system or letting that wee shiny head glow, he’s resilient, hilarious, and unstoppable. Proud doesn’t even cover it ❤️✨

I don't normally comment on TikTok but just wanted to say thank you. I over your videos and honesty.
I have alopecia areata following treatment for leukaemia. I hoped after treatment it would resolve but it hasn't. I worry every day what people think of me and my confidence is rock bottom. I am not great at knowing what to do with wigs but I'm learning.
I often wonder how it will be when I'm older. Whether I'll just embrace it or still wear wigs 🤷🏼♀️

Absolutely not a plug but when I lost my hair I was desperate to understand this and looked at history for the answers. I wrote about it here: https://genealogystories.co.uk/womens-hair-history/ - absolutely not a plug, genealogy stories is not active anymore.

I agree with this so much, you deffo lose so much of your identity!! People would always comment on how long and thick mine was and always ask if I’d extensions in….then loosing half the hair I lost part of me. I wish I had your content back then cause no one I knew could relate or understand

I have recently been diagnosed with FFA, I really struggle on days with the thought of it and how this is my new forever. But I watch your videos and it makes me feel so much better about the whole situation as I know there is alternatives. I love how you own it and you are so confident about it all. I just have to process this change and learn to love the new me. Hoping someday I will be able to except the change 🤞Thank you for sharing 🥰
