How colitis related hair loss led to a career in wigs

Send us Fan MailHow colitis related hair loss led to a career in wigs  Hediye Garcia has a background in hair, and was on the path to studying to be an educator when she began to experience hair loss.She was simultaneously suffering from Alopecia Areata and Telogen Effluvium, which she originally put down to stress, but further investigation showed deficiencies in folic acid and iron.Hediye was puzzled as to how she could have become anaemic when she follows a very healthy Mediterranean style diet, and after tests she was told she had colitis, which meant her body wasn't absorbing nutrients from food effectively.She describes her hair loss, along with her diagnosis of colitis very mentally challenging, and she had to try to put her condition into perspective and focus on being grateful, not letting it consume her days.This all led her to begin to take an interest in wigs and hair systems, and she even made her own wig!She now offers hair extensions, wigs & toppers in Ashford, Kent. She shares her knowledge and information.Connect with Hediye:InstagramWebsite Support the showConnect with Hair therapy:FacebookInstagramTwitterClubhouse- @Hair.TherapyHair Therapy WebsiteDonate towards the podcast Start your own podcastHair & Scalp Salon Specialist Course ~ Book now to become an expert! Laser Hair Growth Cap | At Home LLLT Therapy | FDA Cleared | LIVDOR Save £50 off LIVDOR laser cap with code HAIRTHERAPYUK
