What this journey has taught me…is that I Am Enough…just the way I am.
It has also taught me that as women, we CAN make better, more informed hair choices…because sometimes the damage is self inflicted due to lack of knowledge.
If I can give anyone advice…seek help as soon as possible. Sometimes, you CAN prevent further and permanent damage.
Just know…you are not alone. #KnowledgeIsPower #HairStoration #BeEmpowered"
Gail aims to not only inspire others who may be walking the same road but she hopes to make ladies aware of the choices they are making with their hair, preventing them from possibly facing a similar diagnosis, reports news24.
