SARAH’S SO BRAVE OVER HAIR LOSS – I’VE BEEN THERE, TOO

ALL credit to Sarah Beeny for sharing her experience of hair loss. It’s not easy facing up to the reality (or, for that matter, the unpleasant jibes on social media) of losing one’s hair as a woman.

I ‘came out’ as bald (although my hair loss is, thankfully, not cancer-related) over a decade ago, when no one talked about this sort of thing.

Since then, a lot has changed: there are women on TikTok talking about their experiences of hair loss, and the stigma I felt is much less pronounced.

As Beeny says, there’s nothing to be ashamed of, and being bald doesn’t make you any less of a woman. I wish her the very best in her recovery from cancer.
