Telogen Effluvium ~ Why you shouldn't blame yourself for hair loss.

Bente Jakobsen has had a series of devastating events in the last five years, but despite her many ordeals, she says that losing her hair was one of the most devastating experiences of her life.
In 2017 she was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive breast cancer and had a double mastectomy. She lost her hair during chemo, but it grew back again.
She then lost her mum due to medical negligence
6 months later her dad committed suicide
6 months after that, she got divorced, and one month ago they found cancer again and she had a hysterectomy.

Despite all this, she met the love of her life and is due to get married, and just as she found happiness, she started to lose her hair!

Her hair was shedding drastically and showering was a traumatic experience.
She describes how she learned to love herself and change her mindset to be mentally supportive of herself instead of being hard on herself.

She shares how once she started to talk about her hair loss, she found that she was not alone and wants to share her story to normalise female hair loss and help others.
