Hairdresser, Ellie Baker, starts to go bald fro stress a few weeks to her wedding day

A bride-to-be was left shocked after she started to go bald due to stress, a few weeks to her wedding day.

Hairdresser, Ellie Baker, 35, was devastated when she lost her own locks and had to walk down the aisle in specially designed extensions after suffering Alopecia.

She had been busy planning the ceremony when her hair began to fall out.

Ellie had this to say while speaking to UK Mirror:

"Losing my hair before my wedding was every bride's worst nightmare. One day I came out the shower and there was a tiny circular bald patch on the back of my head. Doctors told me not to worry but within weeks the whole house was covered in my hair. After a while I started to develop large bald patches. I was very worried, I didn't want to be a bald hairdresser, but I especially didn't want to be a bald bride."

Ellie, a mother-of-three from Plymouth, Devon, managed to use special hair extensions to get through the big day and turned heads for all the right reasons.

Ellie said:

"It was actually really effective and you couldn't see what I was hiding, which was a relief. No one noticed the hair extensions, so it was a big confidence boost. I didn't want to look back at the pictures of me on my wedding day and see a bald woman in a wedding dress. Thanks to the hair extensions that is not the case."

And since tying the knot, she has set up a support group for other sufferers of the condition.
