By the time I visited INXS in Worthing, I had spent over 10 years wearing clip-in extensions trying to cover my hair-loss, which only made it worse by pulling on my fragile hair and worsening the condition of my hair and scalp. I became an expert at hiding the growing bald patches with half-wigs and spent a small fortune on synthetic and real human-hair pieces and hair products. I dreaded windy days and was constantly worried about anyone seeing my hair underneath, or lack of it and I hid my hair loss from friends and family.
Hair loss is such a private and sensitive experience. I felt embarrassed, ashamed and very anxious about being judged. It actually took me two years to finally book a consultation with INXS Worthing.
Six months ago I took the plunge-and I haven’t looked back.
The whole team are incredibly friendly, professional and understanding. They listen, they care, and they make something that felt so daunting feel completely normal. I now genuinely look forward to my visits with Chris and the team every five weeks for my re-fit/tighten and hair wash.
It was really important to me that I looked the same for work, and they achieved this brilliantly. The colour and length are spot on, and I can blend the system with my own hair so that it looks natural and I often forget I’m wearing it.
One of the unexpected benefits for me has been seeing my own hair start to grow back. The system doesn’t pull on my hair in the same way that my old DIY half-wigs did, yet it is incredibly secure. My completely bald areas are now filling in, which has been amazing to see. I know regrowth isn’t something everyone will experience, as it depends on the underlying medical condition, but for me it has been a wonderful bonus that I am grateful for.
It takes a little time to get used to a hair system, but very soon it simply becomes your hair.
If you’ve been searching the internet for hair-loss solutions like I was, and you’re feeling anxious or unsure, please be brave and book that consultation. For me, it has made such a huge difference to both my hair and my confidence and I have full support from my family. I honestly couldn’t be happier.
