“A life Changed ”
“TRAMPOLINING IS NOW A HAIR-RAISING EXPERIENCE FOR ALOPECIA
SUFFERER, 13”.
Local Mum Angie Taylor has seen thirteen year old daughter Jade transform from a shy and
downcast little girl into an individual bursting with confidence. And it’s all down to her hair.
Jade, a sufferer of the distressing disease Alopecia Totalis (AT), or total loss of the hair on the
scalp, has had a hair replacement system fitted by White Cliffs Hair Studio. Angie, from
Grove Park, SE12, says: ‘It’s impossible to explain how much it has helped. She was like the
girl from Jurassic Park the way she turned her head so stiffly because of the wig. With the
system she can shake her head up and down and it makes no difference.’
Jade’s custom-made non-surgical hair replacement has meant that she is able to look, feel and
act like a normal young girl for the first time, as the system is undetectable to sight and touch,
safe, effective and natural looking.
Alopecia can be highly distressing for its sufferers, especially where they are young people,
and Jade had endured teasing and the almost inevitable lack of confidence as a result. School
children are notoriously cruel and they did not make an exception for Jade, particularly as she
was wearing an NHS wig that was ill-fitting because no children’s wigs are provided by the
National Health.
Jade: ‘The system didn’t feel like the old wig at all, that was painful as I had to pull it really
tight because my head was smaller than the NHS wig. I had to pull it so tight it made imprints
on my head. In PE, the ball bounced on my head and the wig would turn. I had to run off and
fix it. And the fringe would never stay in the right place and it used to wobble when I was on
the trampoline. Trampolining is my favorite thing in PE and when I jumped people could see
under the wig. Now with the system I can jump really high which I could never do before. It’s
great because I could never do roly polys before and I had to sit out of the class.’
In fact, on the day of our interview, which took place on a special client filming day at White
Cliffs Hair Studio, Angie said that she had never seen Jade so confident. It might have been
the fact that Jade was a star model for White Cliffs and surrounded by other alopecia
sufferers. But it was probably down to the fact that Jade’s general self-assurance has soared
since she has had her system fitted.

Jade recognizes the change in herself: ‘I think if I’d met someone my age when I started
losing my hair it would have helped. It might have made the teasing at school a bit easier.
Now when girls ask if it’s my real hair I just say it is and they believe me.’
