HENNI'S STORY

Today I had the pleasure of doing an online headscarf tying course. I learned a lot (mainly how rubbish I am at knots) and I'm excited to practice some of my new skills. Regular courses are run by the lovely ladies at HeadWrappers.

​

While the hair loss hasn't been too much of an issue for me on the whole, it's definitely something that is difficult to talk about openly - largely because it's an awkward and 'clunky' conversation to have. Somehow talking about my hair has become more taboo than talking about my boobs.

​

While I'm ok with taking photos without a head covering, I generally take a few (light bounces off my head a lot). Somehow, it's easier to do photos in my own home than be in front of people.

The biggest benefit to me today was seeing other women at various stages of hair loss. I find that if I'm changing my covering in front of others that I feel a little self-conscious. It was so liberating today to be bald and bold!
