A woman who noticed her hair falling out in the shower is embracing her new bald look - after being diagnosed with alopecia.
Wayde Cadogan, 25, started noticing clumps of her blonde locks getting caught in her brush and falling out while she washed her hair in the shower.
In August 2024, Wayde went to the hairdresser and told her how she had been losing her hair and she recommended that Wayde go to her doctor immediately.
Her doctor recommended Wayde book an appointment with a dermatologist and endocrinologist and she was diagnosed with alopecia - a condition that causes hair loss on the body or head - during her first appointment.
Wayde says her diagnosis came as a "shock" and says she started having steroid injections into her scalp and tablets to help her hair grow back.
In December 2024, Wayde stopped having the steroid injections and shaved her head after deciding to embrace alopecia fully.
