How does your other half or family member/s deal with your hair loss?

At the time when my hair was falling, one of my biggest fear was that my other half (now my husband) would no longer find me attractive and would leave me. I would have nightmares of how I would have to hide my bald patches and how I’d have to wear wigs if I lost all my hair.

On many occasions I wondered if my partner would still love me if I had no hair. No matter how many time he tried to reassure me I still felt very scared. I knew one of the things he loved about me was my thick curly hair – and if I lost that I feared losing him as well. I guess this is something us ladies will always worry about and I guess it must be the same for men as well.

Anyway, I am just relieved that I didn’t have to find out the answer to that terrifying question. Having a supportive partner, family or friends is important to help us either to come to terms with hair loss or to making those important decisions on which treatments to pursue. I wish all the women (and men) going through any hair loss have all the support they need. If not just shout out and am sure there will be a lot us ladies who will be able to offer support.
