18-year-old suffers from baldness: But what a hairdresser does to her makes her shine again

England - Men are plagued by hair loss much more frequently than women. It is particularly bitter when bald patches form on the head at a young age. Jess (18) from England can tell you a thing or two about this. The poor teenager has no hair at all on her head at a young age. She recently visited toupee and wig expert Rob Wood. Since then, she has been unrecognizable.

The founder and creative director of the company "Novo Cabelo Hair" published the corresponding video (see below) with Jess on TikTok last week.

In the clip, he first tries to get to the bottom of the cause of his customer's hair loss. She told the hairdresser that she had already noticed bald patches at the age of twelve.

She then went to her mother with the problem. She didn't want to believe her at first. But then they both finally went to the doctor.

However, Jess does not give a specific diagnosis in the clip. Rob Wood therefore concentrates on his work and explains to the 18-year-old how they now want to proceed.

In addition to a wig, Jess also gets a makeover from Wood's colleague Amanda. During the makeover, however, the young Brit is "banned from wearing mirrors".

Only when everything is finished is she given a pair of opaque glasses. Then the mirror, which was covered during the procedure, is revealed. Finally, Jess is allowed to take off her glasses.

"Wow, oh my God! That's so nice," she blurts out when she sees herself with fiery red hair and subtle make-up for the first time. Rob Wood is also thrilled - after all, Jess is almost unrecognizable.

The transformation also goes down well with the TikTok audience. Within a week, the curious video has already collected more than 135,000 clicks.
