She’s always had insecurities growing up with fine hair and started wearing colourful braids by the time she reached university:

“Braids were kind of like my superpower. These bright, colourful braids gave me confidence. At the time, I was finally comfortable in my skin.”

Jaxa then noticed chunks of her hair falling out and later got diagnosed with psoriasis. She could no longer wear her braids and started experimenting with wigs before she finally went for the big chop:

“On the 12th of March, 2021, I decided to cut my hair off. I chose that specific day because I had a full face of makeup.”

Jaxa made a deal with herself that she would not hide behind wigs or caps:

“Slowly but surely, I started to feel beautiful again, love myself again, and started to be comfortable in my skin with all its scars.”
