At nineteen, Anne left her small hometown in Finland, landing in Paris and later spending years in England. It was shortly after leaving Finland when she started losing her hair due to alopecia. Anne felt that she was losing control of her body and was in hiding for almost 20 years due to shame of being bald and having to wear bad wigs, and not being able to recognize herself in the mirror. Nowadays higher quality wigs are available and she’s working to get better access to them in Finland for her fellow alopecians.
