“I’m grateful to have this platform to be able to express myself and let my emotions flow through words and captured moments. I’m so proud of that girl who took a leap of faith, closed her eyes, took a deep breath and snapped that picture all those years ago. When she opened her eyes, the world was waiting,” she concluded the caption.

The TikToker shared a video of herself displaying her hair loss after removing her wig. The influencer, showing her hair loss, cheered up her followers, saying that no one is perfect, even if they look so online.

The clip and caption on the viral post impressed her followers who readily voiced their support and appreciation for her. One of her followers penned: “I needed to see this. This hair loss journey is so stressful and I don’t feel pretty anymore. But when I saw this, it really made me smile. Thank you.”
