Inspiring Women: Kristyna Moore

Meet Wigs.com ambassador Kristyna Moore. Today she opens up to us about her journey with lupus and Sjögren's syndrome, how she got started with wigs, and how she became a wig ambassador. Her testament is one of resilience and empowerment that shares how she learned to overcome her fears with the advice “do it scared.”

Kristyna’s journey began in her early twenties when she was diagnosed with autoimmune disorders discoid lupus and Sjögren's syndrome. While she managed her symptoms and flare-ups without taking lifelong medications, she began experiencing hair loss, which made her feel self-conscious. However, it wasn’t until the birth of her daughter, Blakely that she decided to “take control of how she treated herself.” She didn’t want her daughter to feel self-conscious about her appearance, so she began her wig journey.

When Kristyna first began exploring wigs, her goal was to find a style that mimicked her natural hair. She explains that she used to have dirty blonde hair and gravitated towards colors that looked similar to her bio hair. Now she enjoys wearing a wide range of colors from reds to beach blondes.

Stepping out of the "wig closet" was a monumental moment for Kristyna. She credits her husband’s support and her children’s acceptance of her wig-wearing helped build her confidence. She began to share her secret with close co-workers and friends before announcing on social media. She explains that her favorite influencer had always given the advice “do it scared” and defines the phrase as it's okay to be afraid but to push through and do it.

What started as a personal journey has blossomed into a mission to empower others. Kristyna understands the challenges that hair loss as a woman poses. She wanted to use her platform to help women not feel alone or hopeless by sharing her experiences with hair loss, health struggles, and wig-wearing. Using her mantra 'confidence is contagious,' her goal is to boost women’s self-esteem so they, in turn, can help others. Therefore, the more they share, the more they de-stigmatize hair loss and normalize alternative hair.

Today, Kristyna continues to inspire others with her fearless approach to life. Whether she’s sharing wig tips, discussing the realities of autoimmune diseases, or offering advice to fellow wig wearers, her warmth and authenticity shine through. She reminds us that struggles can be a source of strength, and community is the key to overcoming life’s toughest challenges.
