hey, I'm Alexa...

It’s been two years since I’ve taken out my extensions, and I’m still thrilled every time I look in the mirror. My hair is full, shiny, and completely natural—something I never imagined I’d have again.

When I was 16, an extended high fever left me with more than just physical exhaustion—it killed my hair follicles, and I lost about half of my hair.

The devastation was overwhelming. I wasn’t sure if my hair would ever grow back, and as a teenager, that felt unbearable. To feel more like myself, I turned to hair extensions. They became my safety net, allowing me to have the long, full hair I dreamed of but couldn’t achieve naturally. For 18 years, I wore extensions, believing they were the only way I could feel confident and comfortable with my hair.

Everything changed when I became pregnant. I started taking this Essentials Pack for my overall health, and to my surprise, I noticed my hair becoming thicker, shinier, and healthier than it had been since I was 16. For the first time, I felt confident enough to remove my extensions and wear my natural hair—something I never thought was possible. At first, I attributed it to pregnancy hormones, but I was determined to hold onto the hair I had finally regained.

As I transitioned into postpartum, I stayed consistent with the Essentials Pack, knowing that nutrition was my best chance to maintain my hair. To my amazement, I didn’t experience the dreaded postpartum hair shed that so many women do.

As a hairstylist with over 20 years of experience specializing in wigs, toppers, and hairpieces, I’ve had the privilege of working with countless women navigating temporary or permanent hair loss.

Whether it’s due to illnesses like cancer, hormonal imbalances, or highly stressful events such as divorce, rapid weight loss, or surgery, I’ve seen firsthand the emotional toll that hair loss takes.

Recently, I’ve noticed an increasing number of women struggling with hair shedding after using weight-loss medications like Semaglutide or GLP-1 shots. These treatments often create significant stress on the body, depleting essential nutrients and triggering hair loss. Time and time again, it’s clear that the root of hair loss isn’t just one thing—it’s the body’s response to stress, nutrition imbalances, and hormonal shifts.

The Essentials Pack has been life-changing for me and for so many of the women I’ve worked with. It helps replenish what the body has lost and supports the systems responsible for hair growth, including stress management, hormone balance, and nutrition. It gave me my hair back—my confidence, my identity—and I’m so passionate about sharing it with others because I know how life-changing it can be.

If you’ve felt hopeless about your hair loss, like I did, I want you to know there’s hope. This isn’t just about hair—it’s about giving your body the tools to heal, thrive, and help you feel like yourself again.
