Speaking to Be, she said: "I ended up in London... and ended up thinking I'd like to do something a bit more meaningful."I thought, I'm going to investigate how to get a nice wig, because in them days there wasn't [anything] nice. At that time, I then had to re-start to think, 'now, how am I going to do this?' Really and truly - fake it until you make it.
"It's such a sensitive thing. If you are dealing with somebody who has lost their hair, maybe just thin hair, they're self conscious of it and they just need a wee bit of reassurance. She also has a trichologist available for those seeking to find out what the cause of their hair loss is. "But at the end of the day, you come home and you go, you are listening to people's stories... and you think... It really does make a big difference to people's lives," Therese told.
