I was really feeling desperate and depressed when a very good friend of mine called to invite me on a girls’ night out.
I explained to her that I really wasn’t feeling myself and I wouldn’t be much fun.
Well, she’s a pretty convincing friend and luckily she wouldn’t take no for an answer.
I say luckily because it was that night that changed my life and my hair-loss journey … forever.
So we all gathered at my friend’s house, like we usually do before going out, just to have a quick cocktail and chat beforehand - getting all the hellos and hugs out of the way.
And while I was hanging out in her kitchen, another one of my friends, Lisa, walked in. It had been close to a year since I had seen her.
I immediately noticed how gorgeous her hair looked. Lisa’s hair is usually dry and thin. I thought she might have had a hair transplant. It was that different.
I got up to give her a hug, all the while saying,
“I love your hair extensions.”
She smiled at me and said,
“I’m not wearing hair extensions. Can you believe it? It’s all mine … feel it.”
I couldn’t help but touch her luxurious hair. I was blown away. It was longer, thicker, fuller and showed no damage.
Her hair was drop-dead gorgeous.
I blurted out (a little loudly), “I need to know your secret!”
“Of course”, she said and smiled.
Lisa began:
“I happened to be shopping at the big farmers market.
“You know the one, down south?
“I was browsing a booth full of exotic oils when a woman approached me. In a very thick accent, she told me her name was Sofia and that she was the owner.
“There was something very interesting about her.
“She had this gypsy, mystical vibe.
“She was wearing a long skirt and had on a lot of jewelry. Her skin was so smooth and her hair thick and beautiful.
“Sofia explained to me that all of her oils are imported from her home country of Romania.
“And that Romanians have been producing and using essential oils for thousands of years.
“Sofia went on to tell me that the oils are used for perfume, cosmetics and medicinal purposes. Even witchcraft. And that her family had been in the business for generations.
“She actually started learning about essential oils when she was a small child. And had been doing this for more than 55 years herself.
I must have frowned because she said, “Don’t believe me? Here’s my ID.”
And there it was in black & white. She didn’t even look 55. She barely looked 35!
But her ID proved that she was 59 years young!
What she was doing worked without a shadow of a doubt.
“She walked me around her booth and pointed out many different oils while she explained and expanded on their uses. I could have chatted with her for hours. It was all very fascinating.
“But then she held up one bottle of oil and told me how it helps women’s hair grow and bring back its youth and strength as you get older…”
Hair loss does not just afflict males
“Sofia began explaining to me, ‘You know how people think hair loss is strictly something men have to deal with? Well, you might be surprised to hear that about 40% of American hair-loss sufferers are women!
‘I know… that’s a shocking statistic, but sadly it’s true!
‘And even though the number of women struggling with hair thinning and loss is VERY high…
‘There aren’t many products out there formulated specifically for women.
‘I’m serious! Try Googling “hair loss,” and you are shown products
for men before women.
‘And even the products shown for women are pretty questionable and confusing.
As women, we need a hair solution that not only works to heal our follicles, but that also has a significant impact on our hormones…
‘Especially one hormone that, when it gets out of control… has been shown to destroy hair at the root.
‘And that’s exactly what most solutions in the market are missing and why NOTHING you’ve tried in the past has worked to regrow your hair.’
“Sofia had me right then and there.
“I’m so, SO glad I trusted her solution because… look at my hair now! I never thought I could have model hair.”
