My name is Eva, I'm transgender. I am 59 at the moment, I transitioned at the age of 54 which was quite late. Certain aspects of transitioning that late in life are things like hair loss, and at this point it is irreversible
I very much struggled to cope with this and it did affect my confidence hugely in trying to present publically, and have the confindence to actually go out and just be amoungst people.
It could be very difficult sometimes, there were some very obvious second looks and long looks, and these all conspired to make me feel very uncomfortable. Indeed there were some times when I just had to go home, I just couldn't cope with it.
So I very much needed to find something else, some way of being able to cope in public. This was very much centered about my appearance and my age and my hair.
I therefore did some research and I came across Debbie and her team, who were offering a hair system, that would essentially give me a full head of hair and all of the advantages of it would almost be real, I could wash it, I could go out in the rain, I could walk my dogs in the wind. All the things that people just take for granted. At the time I also used to ride a motor bike so a wig or a hair-piece and a helmet, it's not a good mix.
So I really needed to find something just to give me my life back. So I made an appointment to come and see Debbie. I was absoletely blown away by the hair system they were offering.
I have been doing this for some three and a half years now, I come back regularly for the bits and pieces I need doing and the tightening of the hair system.
It has absolutely transformed my life and hopefully the next time you see me you'll see why.
After treatment
My system has been washed and refitted. I can not begin to say how much of a difference it makes to how I feel. The only way I can express it, is I just feel complete and a complete person.
It has to be said as well without this, I wouldn't have half the life I have at the moment. In fact, the first time I had a system fitted about 3 years ago now, within 6 weeks I had gone out and got myself a new job. It was a publlic facing job it was in Boots opticians. So it couldn't be any more of a confidence boost.
So I have to say to Debbie and the team. I can not thank you enough, it has totally transformed my life, it means everything to me. To be honest if anyone is thinking about having this done, just come and do it as it will make such a fantastic difference to yuor life.
