There’s a lot of unnecessary shame and loneliness that can go along with it. Not to mention the overwhelm when you are trying to figure out what kind of replacement hair works for you. \n\n\nBetween having had chemo twice and alopecia areata on top of that, I know all too well that sinking feeling when you see more scalp than hair when you look in the mirror. \n\n\nI also know that it is overwhelming when you don’t know who to ask for help, what to do, or where to start – and I want to say, helping you do just that is my gift.\n\n\nHi, I am Debra Heim. I’m a certified alternative hair expert, wig wearer and the co creator of a one of a kind wig and topper boutique, The Very Best Little Hair House. And I created this podcast to educate, inspire and empower you!\n\n\nOut of my own hair loss journey was born a desire to make wearing alternative hair feel normal and an exciting place of possibilities. I use my superpower intuition to help women in my shop in a one on one, private and comfy environment with fifteen of the worlds’ best brands of alternative hair find their beauty again. \n\nAnd I take wearing what you may know as wigs to a whole new level and my goal is to bring your beauty back to full on radiance. \n\n\nBecause you don’t want hair that looks good on someone else! You want to find the hair that maximizes your own unique beauty and I want to help you do that!\n\n\nI have helped over five hundred women of all different looks, shapes and sizes look better than they’ve ever imagined. \n\n\nMy shop is where the magic happens and confidence is restored! Our clients leave looking fabulous and knowing not only what works for them but also how to care for it with ease. \n\n\nBecause let’s face it - if finding the hair that lights you up was as easy as choosing from a picture, I wouldn’t need to have my shop. \n\n\nThink of me as that “tell it like it is” friend that also happens to be an expert in alternative hair.\n\n\nThe shame starts to end when you learn how to make yourself feel beautiful again and I am going to help you do that. At the end of the day, natural hair or not, wig or not, I want you to know that we are all worthy of love and belonging.\n\n\nSo take a deep breath, feel the love I’m sending your way–it’s time to find and love yourself again.

One thing I see in common with all women, no matter how much money they earn, there is the tendency to feel guilty about what they spend on their hair. Here's the reasons why you should allow yourself to feel good and how to reframe your thinking about it.

Peace, Love and Alternative Hair,

Debra Heim
