Lesley’s Hair Loss Journey: Breaking the Silence

Anna Lewis

Lesley had always been known for her beautiful hair—thick, healthy, and effortlessly stylish. But in her mid-50s, as menopause set in, she began to notice changes. Her once-full hair started thinning, gradually at first, then more noticeably. Like many women in the UK, Lesley found herself facing not just hair loss, but also a wall of silence around it. Conversations were scarce, support was limited, and solutions often felt hidden or hush-hush. Refusing to accept that shame should be part of the process, Lesley began her journey not just to reclaim her confidence, but to challenge the culture of secrecy. Today, she’s on a mission to bring hair loss into the open—one honest conversation at a time.
