As much as we focus on the glamorous looks created by hair extensions, it's just as important to show the genuine stories of women whose lives have been changed by extensions and hair replacement systems.

Hair loss in women can be caused by a variety of reasons, including thyroid issues, chemotherapy, autoimmune diseases or simply genetics. If you are a woman suffering from hair loss, you know the feelings of distress this can cause. But, we want you to know: you are NOT alone and there are many hair professionals who specialize in hair thinning and loss who can help you.

We've been hearing a lot of stories lately from hair professionals about women who suffer from hair loss and how they still make their hair dreams come true. They can have the long, gorgeous locks they've always wanted and get their confidence back. When our hair is truly our crown, we deserve to sit on the throne!

Here are just a few quick stories we've heard from our clients that have brought tears to our eyes. Unbelievable transformations with our hair; true life-changing moments between stylists and clients.

Stassi, salon owner of Sassy Lashes & Locks, has worked in hair replacement for over 13 years and has helped many women create their dream hair. She recently shared images of her client, who has the hair pulling disorder Trichotillomania. In her IG post, Stassi said, "Our system works AMAZING to cover the areas she has been pulling, so she can't pull her hair out in those areas, giving it a chance to grow long and healthy."

Hair loss in women is often difficult to cope with and traumatic. That's why we're honored to work with Shaylie George-Green, a hair professional who truly takes care of her clients. Shaylie, founder of The Tight-Line Method, shared an amazing transformation with Bohyme® hair for her client with Lupus, an autoimmune disease that causes her hair to fall out. It's so heartwarming to see her smile after Shaylie uses her magic and gives her beautiful hair back. The new hand-tied hair and top piece give her confidence a huge boost.

And we just have to mention our local Chicago hair replacement master Mette Menotti, owner of World Hair System and World Hair Institute. Mette has shared many amazing stories with us over the years, but one that truly touched our hearts was about her youngest hair replacement client, a 5-year-old girl.

"The first time I met her, she found my place like a fairy tale country. She had no friends, because no one would play with her. She had some bald spots and a little ponytail. She was really in need of loving her hair," said Mette.

"When you can change a person's life that way, where they can have friends again, it's the most fulfilling experience," explained Mette. "Once the person gets used to their new hair, it's a part of them."
