Hair Loss Awareness Month x Natalie

The month of August is a special month for Adore My Wig’s following! This month is dedicated to raising awareness about hair loss during Hair Loss Awareness Month; it is a moment to recognize the challenges faced by people with hair loss.

It is more than just a physical change; it is an emotional journey that can affect self-image and self-confidence.

We share personal stories from our Brand Ambassadors, who bravely want to share their own experiences with hair loss and discovering wigs with you. By putting these stories in the spotlight, we want to offer comfort, inspiration, insight, and a sense of understanding to everyone dealing with hair loss. You are not alone! Together we are stronger!

As an added benefit, this can also lead to more understanding and empathy among people who are not yet familiar with certain forms of hair loss.

Let's first get to know our Brand Ambassador Natalie, who is very passionate about helping other women find their confidence through alternative hair.

"Don’t be afraid to take your time. Everyone’s journey is different and you don’t need to compare yourself to anyone or feel like you should be someone else in the journey."

1. Tell us a bit about yourself

Hi, I’m Nat, I’m British, but live in Amsterdam with my husband and little maltipoo. I am outgoing and sport mad! I love to travel, read and experience new cultures and meet people!

2. What is Alopecia Areata?

It’s coin shaped patches of hair loss, brought on by your immune system attacking itself and thinking your hair follicle is a threat.

3. How long have you been wearing wigs or hairpieces? And what struggle did you experience?

I started wearing them April 2023. I struggled with the overwhelming choice and variation in quality. Nobody prepares you for any of it!!

4. When you started your hair loss journey, what do you wish you knew?

About this community and how supportive being could truly be!! 

5. What’s one thing you’ve learned about yourself throughout your hair loss journey?

I am a lot more resilient than I ever realised!

6. What advice would you give to a new alternative hair wearer?

Don’t be afraid to take your time. Everyone’s journey is different and you don’t need to compare yourself to anyone or feel like you should be someone else in the journey.

Be kind to yourself, every day will be different and the days you feel sad, just allow yourself to be. A better day will be right around the corner.

7. What is a memorial experience you have had with team Adore My Wig? 

The people!! It’s like coming into a home when I visit.
