The Horrifying Reason Why This YouTuber Lost Her Hair
On October 10, 2017, social media star Hannah Forcier was forced to reckon with every woman's worst nightmare.
This up-and-coming actress went from a "bubbly, fun bleach blonde to a timid, self loathing broken girl" in a matter of minutes. In her YouTube confession, Hannah Forcier opened up to her followers about the one mistake that made her lose her hair.
The 21-year-old, who recently moved to LA to pursue her acting career, had previously damaged her hair with harsh dye and bleach. She bought an at-home hair relaxer, thinking that it would help her hair get back to its normal state. However, she didn't see the warning on the label advising not to use the product on damaged hair. By the time she stepped into the shower, it was too late: all of her hair began to fall out.
Relaxers are normally used on very curly hair to make it easier to straighten. The chemicals in relaxers are often too harsh for finer, bleached hair like Hannah's. In some cases, a relaxer may cause chemical burns that can severely damage hair.
In her video, Hannah expressed how hard it was on her self-image to lose her crowning glory. For those of us who also use our hair to express ourselves, we can definitely relate. However, things seem to be looking up! She's since embraced this new look (and she's totally rocking it).
Now, Hannah's inspiring others with her story of acceptance and self-love. Hair grows back, after all — but despite this mistake, she looks more beautiful than ever!
