It wasn't easy starting something in my own. Especially in a category that was either seen as a mere fashion accessory or spoken about in hush voices to avoid gaining attention. I remember struggling to simply build awareness about how "normal" it could be to use hair extensions. Most saw them as a taboo topic, equivalent to wigs or simply shrugged off the idea in disgust. But I knew from the time I wore my first set of extensions that I loved them and could clearly see in them the potential to help thousands. To me, hair extensions was a way of spreading joy, building confidence and celebrating freedom in one of the most basic ways possible. I wear mine with a lot of pride and want to ensure that all those who wear them do the same.
