I learnt about trichotillomania when I was 14 yrs old, as that is when I realised that I had this condition. I have been dealing and living with this condition for about 14 years as well. It has been a long battle of all 5 stages of grief so far. Just when I was almost out of options of dealing with a condition that society knows nothing about and constantly blaming myself and feeling inferior to others, I decided to look for support groups online to help me battle loneliness that I had been feeling for a long time. Just then, I came across a wonderful soul, an angel whom I felt like I was destined to meet, Hannah. I met her through instagram. I scrolled through her posts and reels and I already felt better that I was not alone. I dropped a message to her, I knew she would be extremely busy and I wasn’t sure if she would have any time to reply to all the DMs that she gets. I consider myself very lucky to have come across someone who values your journey and because she got back to me within a day and we facetimed each other and spoke for the very first time. We instantly connected. There were tears, there was comfort, there was a level of understanding that I had not seen or experienced ever before with respect to this aspect. We soon scheduled an appointment together and the day I met her, it changed my life. She took the measurements for my custom hairpiece and what a life changing experience that has been ! Her work is impeccable. She let me try her own hairpiece on myself and as someone who had never imagined seeing myself with a head full of hair ever again, there I was, indeed with a head full of hair that looked so natural and beautiful and so perfect in every way. I was able to conquer so many of my fears after I got my hairpiece made by Hannah. My confidence went up as I was able to use the wig without any fear: working out, swimming, roller coaster rides, dancing till my feet hurt! It has become a part of me now and ever since, I have never felt like I don’t have enough hair of my own. That’s the kind of confidence that Hannah has instilled in me through her work. The custom hairpieces that she makes are so perfect, with respect to their texture, color and not once, have I felt that it is not my own hair. Hannah and her child, ‘Perfectly You’ has been my biggest blessing in disguise. She is not only my hair designer and stylist, but she is also a wonderful friend of mine. In today’s world where people use photoshop to make everything look perfect and advertise things, the biggest issue that I had ever faced was trusting somebody. Thanks to Hannah, that she has put those fears of mine to rest. Hannah herself is an epitome of a strong and a beautiful woman, inside out, in our society who is going above and beyond to help as many people as possible. She inspires me and everyone else around her to do the same. It is because of people like her that this world feels like a better place. Thank you for being who you are and for everything that you do, Hannah. We love you more than words can ever say.
