First time I cried after my accident for a legit reason that wasn't espresso martinis? When all my hair fell out of my head! A combination of significant bodily trauma and being exposed to exorbitant amounts of anesthesia caused my seemingly endless amounts of thick curly hair to abandon me during the time I needed it most.

Unfortunately...that happens to a lot of people along complicated health journeys and battles, not just me.

Losing your hair is losing a part of your sense of self. And if you're like me where your hair is 70% of your personality, that significant part equates to a loss of confidence and a loss of hope. Especially after you've already lost so much.

Curly hair extensions are rumored to be a myth, but I live in the City of Angels and one of those angels is Israel (Izzy) Guzman: celebrity hairstylist, hair extension specialist, hair colorist, crystal shop owner, spiritual student, and, most importantly, friend.

I met Izzy along my mission to bring back what I thought was a defining trait of myself and while many will argue that it's not, it's just hair...eh...the people who's hair have fallen out emotionally beg to differ. We talk about why hair is so important, how hair loss can be a massive, often unspoken, trauma, and why maintaining hair and bringing back one's hair is a necessary act of service.

Come learn about hair, learn about this underplayed trauma, learn about empathy, learn about self love.

Win most, lose some
