Suffering from a disease called Alopecia, Therese's immune system mistakenly attacking hair follicles, causing her bald head. She was so scared when she found that condition at just 14 and decided to live under wigs, hiding her real appearance.
“At first only my family knew about it until after a while I told my closest friends. I kept it a big secret and I was super sensitive if anyone asked me something about my hair. I was very good at hiding it,” she said.
Thanks to her best friends' support and encouragement, Therese made up her mind to walk out of wigs and showed her real body. “I guess I realized it when a friend opened my eyes to a blogger who had her head shaved. She’s now my friend. I also got inspired by Amber Rose who is super beautiful with her shaved head.”
“The first time in the streets was amazing, I felt relieved and proud of myself. I actually didn’t do it alone. I was with a friend who also had her first time going out bald. We met at a community that is like Facebook for people with alopecia called alopecia world. We chatted and decided to meet in a town where we knew no one and do it together.”
Therese has also become a model as well as a nurse. She often shows stunning hairless photos where she radiates confident glamour. “I realized bald is beautiful and could be a new thing for me to stop hiding.”
She also encourages other people who don't feel confident enough: “Don’t hide. It will only make you feel worse. You will feel so relieved if you can just be yourself. Anyone that can't accept it is not someone you need in your life anyway.”
