Read the hair story of Kellie Morgan, our giveaway winner and a bride-to-be! Soon, she'll be selecting her new Follea and receive a custom fitting, cut and color during a trip to the Follea Beverly Hills salon. Congrats, Kellie. ♥️
"Hi! My name is Kellie, I'm 25 years old, and I have been wearing wigs and toppers for two years now. I have androgenic alopecia, and my hair has been falling out since my early teens. When I hit my early twenties, the hair loss sped up, and I lost most of the hair on top of my head. That's when I begun wearing supplementary hair and got my confidence back!
Something that really bothered me the whole time I was struggling with hair loss and trying to conceal it (before I started wearing hair) was that it's something women just don't talk about. There's such a stigma. I was so embarrassed that it was happening to me and nobody, not even my family, knew about it. Losing your hair is bad enough, but having to deal with it in secret with no support made it even worse. When I started wearing hair, I decided that I'd had enough with the secrets. I wanted to do my part to help break the stigma surrounding female hair loss and wigs. When I got my first wig, I posted on Facebook and "came out" about my alopecia. It went somewhat viral and I was brought to tears over the support I received from complete strangers. This gave me the inspiration to reach as many women as I could, so I started a blog called Out of Thin Hair that I keep updated with posts about how to manage hair loss and reviews of different wigs that I've tried.
I've also started a Youtube channel where I post videos for the blog as well! It's been so, SO fulfilling being able to be a resource for women who are in the same spot I was in for the past decade; dealing with hair loss and no idea where to turn.
So, why am I ready for a new me this year? 2016 is going to be a very exciting year for me - I'm getting married in November! Having a new Follea wig that I could wear on my wedding day would be absolutely life-changing for me. I've been in need of a new human hair piece for some time, but we're pinching and saving every penny for the wedding, so I don't think that is in the cards, and I currently have no idea what to do with my hair for the wedding. It would be such an amazing blessing to receive a beautiful, high quality wig just in time to wear it on the most important day of my life.
I have been wanting to try a Follea wig, but never had the flexibility in my budget to do so. The cost is definitely justified for the quality - I've been absolutely amazed by the photos I've seen of Follea pieces. I hope you'll consider my story and thank you for reading! I hope you all have a wonderful 2016!"
