A woman who began losing her hair aged 19 launched a wig company to give people their confidence back.

Kimberly Di Benedetto, 34, began noticing her hair thinning in her teens and was diagnosed with female pattern hair loss.

Her confidence plummeted and she tried everything to get her hair to grow back - including laser therapy, vitamins, scalp injections and creams.

When none worked she looked into hair pieces and toppers and says they changed her life.
