Nairobi Woman Representative Esther Passaris has chosen TikTok as the platform to address the speculations surrounding her hair loss, which has caught the attention of netizens. In a candid video, later shared across other social media platforms, Passaris openly disclosed that her hair was thinning due to her thyroid condition.
"So somebody mentioned yesterday 'oh by the way I have just noticed on your video your hair is thinning'. Oh yeah my hair is thinning and the reason it is thinning is one; I don't have a thyroid and sometimes my thyroxine levels get low and of cause my hair thins," Passaris said.
In addition to her thyroid condition, Passaris openly acknowledged that her hair loss was also a natural part of the aging process. Embracing her age with pride, she revealed that she is about to celebrate her 60th birthday next year.
"And also I am gonna be 60 next year. So if you gonna be 60 obviously you gonna lose some hair. But this is the thing, no matter what you going through in life, you gotta love yourself. You gotta look in the mirror every morning and just say to yourself 'I love you' no matter what coz once you love yourself then you can pick up any other pieces and move on," the Nairobi Woman Rep said.
Passaris hopes to debunk misconceptions and increase awareness of her disease by offering this intimate look into her health experience. She also hopes to use her platform to inspire people and promote candid discussions about aging and health issues.
