“How to tell people about your hair and answering those who may ask.”
First and foremost, let’s understand that this is your choice whether or not to share. Many like to keep some things private – and that’s okay! Some personalities feel free to share openly and some do not.
For those who choose to share, here are some helpful tips.
Decide WHO you will share it with – do you trust that it will remain private? Disclosing this is not for everyone, however there is a freedom in sharing because then you don’t have to hide or lie to avoid embarrassment. If you put it out there first, no one can use it against you. Plus, if you have an awesome stylist, you should look good at all times and no one should be able to notice!
It’s easiest to share with a spouse because chances are they already know your struggle with your hair loss and only want what makes you happy, BUT what if you’re dating? How do you disclose such personal information? I can’t say it’s easy, but I will say “it’s not much different than a female getting a Boob Job!”
I have heard MANY stories of my clients first time “telling” their significant other and 100% of the outcome was positive. I cannot guarantee these results for everyone. Maybe it’s a way of weeding out the bad relationships? If someone Loves you, it should be “no matter what.”
