I was pretty nervous considering this option of hair extensions to fill out my thinning hair due to PCOS, but now that I have done it I wish I had taken the plunge years ago.
You do have to change your routine, getting ready in the morning but if anything it makes it easier! I can still tie it up out of the way and even experiment with different styles that I could never achieve before. It has only been 2 months but friends say they can't even remember me with out the hair extensions!
My top tip would be.. Batiste Dry shampoo! Keeps you looking fresh and gets and extra day or two out of a wash and dry :)
Honestly, if you are nervous, go and see for yourself... take the mystery out of the process and trust Debbie, she knows what she is talking about ;)

All my life I've had thin, fine hair but, having reached my sixties, my hair started thinning even more. I first came to Debbie in 2009 and now my life has changed. I had a net to cover the top of my head and hair extensions over the rest of my head. I feel that I have a real head of hair for the first time in my life! Thank you Debbie and your team for doing a wonderful job.

I know that losing your hair might seem a small thing when compared to surviving a massive brain tumour, but on a day to day basis it really did affect me. After the radiotherapy that I had to have, I was left with a huge bald patch on the top of my head. My hair never grew back and I hated wearing wigs.

I found out about Debbie at Hair INXS by accident. A family friend mentioned that his wife had her hair done at a salon which also specialised in women’s hair loss. It took me six months to make that initial phone call but, after I did, I’d had my hair done within a week. Now, more than three years later, I can truthfully say that I’ve never looked back.

People can’t tell that my hair isn’t ‘my own’. In fact, I’m often handed vouchers for hair cuts or blow-dries – which I always take as a compliment. I now wear my hair in a bob, which I’d never have been able to do before. I love my new hair. In fact, it’s the best my hair has ever looked.

I’d worn wigs for two years and never felt right in them. I’d always feel self conscious – as if people were looking at me – and in the summers they were boiling hot. My husband is Dutch and on one occasion in Rotterdam we’d all gone shopping and there was quite a wind brewing. I could feel my wig moving and put my hand over it whilst my sister-in-law tied a headscarf round my head to stop it flying off. I looked like an old granny walking along with the headscarf tied under my chin! It seems funny now, but at the time it was very traumatic – we all had visions of it blowing off and rolling down the road!”

The team in Windsor is truly amazing – all of them are so immensely kind and endlessly patient and supportive and the salon atmosphere is so relaxed – like one big happy family.

Lynda Watson says (04/12/2010 11:17:00):

I’d always had long, thick, strong hair, so when it started breaking off and thinning in my early fifties I didn’t believe it would be permanent. However, instead of recovering, it got worse. Having previously taken for granted that my hair drew compliments I took it very badly that it was noticeably thin on top and I became depressed and obsessed with how awful I looked. Coping with getting older was one thing, but my dreadfully thin hair aged me beyond my years.
My doctor confirmed that there was nothing medically wrong to cause it, but said he was unable to help. I spent lots of money trying expensive ‘remedies’ that didn’t work for me.
Then I decided to wear a wig. At first I was pleased with the confidence they gave me. Although I always felt that everyone knew I was wearing a wig as soon as they looked at me. I was always self-conscious and aware of the wig, never fully relaxed. In fact, the wigs were pretty good and close to my original hair colour and style so I now admit that it was probably only people who knew me very well that might have noticed a difference – if they looked closely.
After a while I started to feel that the wigs were (almost) more trouble than they were worth. They were hot and itchy, it was difficult or impossible to undertake certain activities, although luckily I’m not sporty. I knocked it off when I had to have a blood test. I spent what should have been a lovely day out on a boat, holding on to my fringe so that it didn’t blow back and show the hard, obvious hairline, and worrying that it would move in the wind. I caught it on a branch when I stood up under a tree at a picnic. I lost interest in clothes shopping because I couldn’t be bothered with the hassle of trying anything on that had to go over my head. And I hated that instead of brushing my hair in front of the mirrors in ladies loos, I was always taking my wig off and replacing it in the actual cubicle. I always felt like ripping it off and scratching my head to pieces. The list goes on.
I’d found a very expensive London salon offering a system for thinning hair but when I visited them I ended up sobbing uncontrollably back to the tube after I’d been told very quickly that my hair was too fragile and I couldn’t be helped. I was devastated and thought I was stuck with wigs for life.
Then I came across Debbie at Hair InXs. I honestly didn’t think she’d be able to do anything for me after my previous rejection, but I had to know that I’d tried every possible avenue. I sent Debbie an email and back came a positive reply. I was still disbelieving and put forward more problems. Debbie spoke to me on the phone, for nearly an hour, reassuring me and boosting my confidence. She was very easy to talk to and not at all pushy, but I decided I wanted an appointment to see her straight away.
The salon has the friendliest, most relaxed atmosphere you can imagine. Everyone was so cheerful and kind, offering drinks and making me feel comfortable. When the time came for me to remove my wig I didn’t feel at all upset or nervous as I always had before. Debbie assessed my hair and reassured me that the problems preventing the other salon from helping didn’t apply to her system, she showed me lots of photos of happy clients looking fantastic with a huge variety of hairstyles, also a wide range of ages. I decided without hesitation it was for me.
The actual fitting was carried out in the same relaxed atmosphere and I felt that I’d known them all for years. Debbie cut my new hair into shape and I felt transformed.
Since then, I’ve been back for the six-week appointments and greeted again like a friend they’d all known for ever. It only takes about 40 minutes and was just like the days when I used to enjoy a visit to my hairdresser every six weeks – although I’ve never been to such a fun salon as Debbie’s!
I’ve tried on clothes in shop changing rooms and come out to ask for a second opinion instead of dashing in case the curtain moves and reveals me without a wig, I’ve worn a hat and hoods, brushed my hair along with everyone else in ladies loos, tied it back and pinned it up, AND I walked to the top of Glastonbury Tor on an incredibly windy day without holding onto my head, my hair blew about like everyone else’s and I actually felt the wind in my hair! I go to bed looking normal and get out of bed ready to open the door to the postman (as long as he’s admiring my hair and not looking at my face!).
In short, Debbie has made me feel normal again and that my life is in no way restricted. The stress and depression that I had before has lifted. My trip to Debbie is 200 miles there and back and I know that many other ladies travel much further than that, because it’s so worth it. I suppose it’s not cheap, if you only compare it to someone with their own hair having a cut and blow dry at an ordinary small town salon, but it’s not that different to what I was spending on wigs and they made me miserable. I’d unhesitatingly recommend Debb

I started to pull my hair when i was 13, i have Trichotillomania. I was bald on the top of my head. The size was large like a hand. Thoughout my life I have been living in fear of anyone finding out. I tried to cover my baldness with scarfs, hats and wearing my hair in one style. I missed out on many activities like swimming, going out and just socialising with friends because I do not have any confidence. When I was 20 I disscovered Hair. inxs through the yellow pages. I went in to see Debbie, she helped me. I had a net to cover my bald patch with a full head extensions. My life changed from that day! Debbie and her team, has restored my confidence and youth. I have a life now. I had a wish come true. I have beautiful long natural hair. It also retricted me from pulling my hair aswell so my problem improved. Debbie and her team has my entire trust, they are very professional yet extremly friendly. I love going to see them. Im 30 now and go to have my hair done at hair.inxs 3 times a year. I have been going for 10 and a half years now. No words can describe how much Debbie and her team has helped and supported me.

Dear Debbie and her team, I cannot thank you all enough for all that you have done and still doing for me. xx

Jess Taylor says (23/03/2010 20:36:29):

At the end of July 2007 at the age of 13 I was diagnosed with a Medulloblastoma Brain Tumour. Unfortunately my surgeon was not able to remove all of my tumour, I also stopped breathing during my operation but fortunately my heart restarted on its own again only for me to then suffer a minor stroke.
A month after my original operation I began a 4 month course of chemotherapy followed by six and a half weeks of radiotherapy to my brain and spine. I was informed before starting my course of radiotherapy that I would lose my hair, resulting in it growing back very thin, patchy and bald around the bottom half of my head.
Debbie and her wonderful team of staff, Sam, Christie and Ethan from Hair-In-X-s gave me back not only my confidence but my life.
I had previously worn wigs now and again when going out but I would mostly wear a hat to cover up my thin, patchy hair, that was until I had the fantastic treatment from Debbie and the team to give me a full head of hair again.
I can't tell you how happy I feel to be able to go out with my mum and family now without people looking at me as if I wasn't normal.
The dedication, care, attention and support that Debbie, Sam, Christie and Ethan give to me and my mum each time we attend an appointment at the salon is truly amazing. I can't thank you all enough for what you have done and are still doing for me. xxx

Denise Bentley says (02/02/2010 15:53:09):

In 1999 I was diagnosed with a brain tumor which was benign and was removed but because a very small amount of the tumor could not be taken out I had to undergo radiotherapy, which resulted in major hair loss. Not being able to come to terms with the fact that my hair may never grow back and dreading the thought of spending the rest of my life wearing a wig I went in search of a solution and found that solution with Debbie at Hair-in-x-s. Debbie and her team gave me the life that I could only have dreamed of. It has now been six years and I have led a perfectly normal life working and doing things that I know I would never have done if I had to wear a wig. I felt so depressed at the thought of losing my hair that if I hadn't found Debbie and Hair-in-x-s then I was not going to have the radiotherapy and ran a very high chance that the tumor would come back. They are all brilliant, my hair looks so natural and nobody knows any different. They gave me my life back and my husband his wife and my children their mum and I am eternally grateful."

Stephanie Sherwood says (02/02/2010 15:52:23):

I've been having my hair extensions done by the staff at Hair In-X-S for seven years. I am a dancer and a model and was not very happy with my appearance but when i started having hair extensions it completely changed the way i felt about myself. It's given me so much confidence which shows not only in my attitude but in my work. It's the best thing i've ever done. Over the years i've been able to have my hair any length, any style and any colour without even colouring or cutting my own hair simply through the aid of my hair extensions. I've been so happy with the treatment and extensions i've received from the staff at Hair In-X-S that I wouldn't consider going anywhere else. I definitely think that having hair extensions can change your confidence levels no end

Patricia Watts says (22/01/2010 12:58:01):

Ten years ago I retired , aged 65yrs. I was looking forward to the freedom. I have had problem hair all my life, and, very unhappy with wigs (after an humiliating experience at hospital.) I was introduced to Debbie and extensions. (I have net to cover sever thinning), and a full head of extensions to create fabulous fair wavy hair. I have never looked back. To wake up with full head of natural looking hair, is a miracle dream come true. A real confidence boost. I could not enjoy the full life that I live without it.
