SONJA Van Den Berg would always worry about covering her head in the wind.
While you might think the 33-year-old just wanted to keep warm, she was worried about the wind blowing her hair and revealing her large forehead.

After the transplant she is now more confident than ever and says she’s surprised the difference it’s had when it comes to her confidenceCaters
She said she hated the way she looked and decided to undergo an impressive transplant to regain her confidence.
Despite people telling her she should just get bangs to cover her forehead, she decided to take the plunge, which set her back £2,500.
In the UK, the NHS states the procedure can cost anywhere between £1,000 and £30,000, depending on the extent of hair loss, the type of procedure you have, and the quality of the clinic and its team.
Hair transplants are often opted for in people who have receding hairlines and those who are balding.
Now, Sonja can wear her hair in any style she likes without worrying.
Sonja is now the founder of “Beauty Gainz” a company which offers all-inclusive hair transplant trips to Istanbul and Turkey.
She said: “It’s funny how something so subtle can make such a big difference. Honestly, I feel a little sad that I didn’t know about the procedure earlier.
“Finally, I can wear my hair in ways and styles that I wasn’t comfortable with before my hair transplant, and when it’s windy outside I don’t feel the need to hide my forehead when the wind blows my hair.
“I’m also looking forward to swimming in the summer because I don’t have to worry about when I dive into the pool and my forehead being more exposed when I get out of the water.”
The business woman added that she never expected there to be so much interest from women who had the same insecurity as her.
“There are also some negative comments from people who ask me why I don’t just get bangs or tell me just to accept who you are.
“However, it’s about what makes me happy and if I can help other people to feel more confident then it makes me double as happy,” she said.
Guidance from the NHS states that hair transplants are suitable for people with permanent baldness, the type that runs in families.
Medics state that it’s not suitable for other types of hair loss such as alopecia.
Before having a hair transplant, it’s advised that you check the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
All clinics and hospitals in England must be registered with this.
