The story of a man who gave his lover, who was suffering from hair loss, a wig of his own hair, which he had grown for four years, as a gift, is touching.
On the 11th (local time), the New York Post, an American media outlet, told the story of a man who grew his hair and made a wig for his girlfriend, who was suffering from alopecia.
Cody Ennis (31), a man living in Waterford, Michigan, gifted his girlfriend Hannah Hosking (27), who suffers from alopecia, by turning 2 feet (approximately 61 cm) of the hair he had grown for four years into a wig. did.
Content creator Hosking, who suffers from hereditary alopecia, was first diagnosed with alopecia at the age of seven. Since 2018, hair loss has accelerated, and all of my once long hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes have fallen out.
She said, “When my hair first started falling out five years ago, I was told that my health was bad, so I shaved off all the hair on my body.”
“When I met Cody, he had short, cute hair that made him look like an office worker,” Hosking said. “On the sixth month of dating him, he asked me, ‘If I grow your hair for you, how long would it last?’ “He recalled.
He continued, “I jokingly said that I wanted 30 inches (approximately 76 cm) because I like long hair, and Hosking remembered this and started growing my hair for the next four years.”
“I asked my nephew, who is a hairdresser, how to care for my boyfriend’s hair, and he bought really expensive shampoo and conditioner,” Hosking said. He also watched numerous videos to research how to properly wash and condition her hair.” She worked hard to maintain strong hair by maintaining such a thorough cleansing routine.
After a long period of effort, Ennis finally cut the hair he had grown out for his girlfriend in October last year. Afterwards, he visited a famous wig manufacturing company and paid $899 (about 1.18 million won in Korean currency) to make a wig.
Finally, on the 6th, Hosking received the wig in the mail and cried with joy.
Hosking said, “When the wig arrived, I was so happy that I cried. “This wig is a very precious treasure to me,” she said, praising her boyfriend’s gift.
He confessed, “When I first looked at myself in the mirror, I felt that I was truly loved,” and “I feel so comforted and moved by the fact that there is someone in my life who is willing to devote this much to me.”
