Women Speak Out on Hair Loss, Wigs, and Finding Community | ELLE

More than 50 percent of women will experience noticeable hair loss in their lifetime-a change that can affect much more than their appearance. In this mini-documentary, ELLE.com explores this staggering statistic through the stories of women who’ve been there before, including Hearst executive producer Amanda Kabbabe. After being diagnosed with a rare form of ovarian cancer at 24 years old and losing her hair to chemotherapy, Kabbabe was desperate to feel like herself again. In the process, she met Charlene Aminoff, owner of Gali’s Couture Wigs, and learned about the life-changing experience that led Aminoff to open her shop. Now, Aminoff is dedicated to providing hair coverings for anyone who needs them and has extended her services to those featured in the video and more.

[@cynthiayasmine5974]

Im 13 years old and I always have hair loss but I don't have cancer I don't know why

[@billfurler93]

I love how women that experience hair loss are portrayed as survivors but men that lose hair are just everyday people

[@IndomitableT]

Oh, the irony.🙄

[@judithjohnstone-vl9je]

It's far worse for a woman to lose their hair than for a man.
