Six top confidence-boosting tips for women with hair loss

Losing your hair can make a massive dent in your self-confidence, as well as completely changing your perception of how you look. This can negatively affect your life if you let it.

To boost your confidence and self-esteem, and feel good about yourself again, try these helpful tips:

• Accept yourself and what you look like, as well as what’s happening to your hair. You can’t change it right now, so there’s no point making yourself miserable and wishing the problem would go away

• Stop comparing yourself to other people – even when you have hair, this will never do your self-esteem any good

• Remember: true beauty comes from who you are as a person. It doesn’t matter what physical changes you go through, you will always be you

• Try not to worry what other people think of you and what you look like – it is your own opinion that matters

• Take back control of what is happening to you, by researching your hair loss condition and getting a formal diagnosis from a trichologist (a hair loss specialist)

• If you need an extra confidence boost, consider human hair wigs or other, more advanced hair replacement solutions.
