My Hair.

Ok let’s talk about my hair.

When your transitioning from male to female you need to look as female as you can and clothes can only achieve so much, so a lot of people look into wearing a wig. I know I did but I never felt at home with it on, it would constantly move about on my head and become tangled very quickly and well look well just a “bloody mess”.  Also when you take it off you see the same old face looking back, which for me was depressing.

I tried to grow my own hair but with male pattern baldness it was going to be a hard job for sure. I walked in to a hair extension salon in my hometown and I was greeted by Sarah, the salon owner.

To be truthful I did not know what to say what to ask for, or how to feel at ease… it was totally unknown territory for me, Sarah must have judged all of this as she quickly sat me down on a sofa, made me a coffee and started to talk to me (it was wonderful) we chatted about hair colour and what would suit me and what length I wanted style and cost. I was initially shocked at the cost of having a weave, most males would never dream of spending this sort of money on hair take it from me, but with my ladies head on it was OK.

Sarah discussed the method the salon uses and yes, my bald spot would be 100% hidden phew I thought…

So I booked in after my pay day and set the day aside for the weaving and extensions to be fitted, I was unsure of what the final outcome would look like at this point but Sarah assured me I would be more than pleased with the outcome.

Wow when I had it, first done it was a massive transformation and everybody wanted to see me and touch my hair, below is a photo of me before my new hair.

The hair I chose to have for my new look is from style icon it's 100% Human Remy Hair and NOT synthetic hair, it is silky and soft to the touch and you get maximum volume from top to tip. I found my hair was the perfect product to boost my confidence.  If you are the type of person that likes to make a bit of a positive statement then Style Icon the one to go for, this hair looks very natural with its rich intensity of colour and lustre and is not the most expensive so its good value for money.

Sarah told me Style Icon by Sleek is the most popular Remy hair extensions in European Hair Market thanks to its full body volume and its highest quality that comes in a range of colours and lengths. My hair is super silky and soft to touch giving me the look that I wished for.

The salon I use is Fresh Hair Extensions in Crewe Cheshire, Threza is my stylist and works wonders, and she is fantastic and is friendly and helpful at all times. She has fitted me at short notice and has managed to fix massive knots that have had me in tears before coming to the salon, Threza works in the salon with Katie and Natalie  the salons other stylist.

If you have tried wigs and have not been satisfied with them like I was, I can recommend contacting Fresh Hair Extensions Salon in Crewe and discuss having a head weave. As my own hair grows with the treatment of hormones and T blockers as I transition, I should be in a position to have less hair extensions fitted and my natural hair coloured and styled, but for now it’s worth every single penny I spend on my hair extensions.

Have a quick look at the URL link below it's the salon's website and book in for a chat its worth every single penny to have good hair and to feel great, it's something I wish I had done much earlier in my transition.
