Cancer, chemotherapy, alopecia -- these are just some of the obstacles the women featured in the Vogue 'Life After Hair Loss' photo and video series have faced and overcome. In a world where hair often defines a woman's confidence, femininity and ferocity, struggling with hair loss can feel like the end.
Recognizing that beauty often comes from a place of difficulty, Vogue Magazine, the world's most recognized institution for setting beauty standards, used the inspiring stories and incredible styles of nine women to shape the way that hair loss is perceived.
Each of the women struggled with reevaluating their senses of self and ultimately empowered themselves towards a positive self-image. This shift led the women to experiment with many different looks, from embracing the bald, to wigs, scarves and hats.
