A woman, who hated her large forehead, has undergone an impressive hair transplant in a bid to regain her confidence.
Sonja Van Den Berg, 33, from Rotterdam in the Netherlands, always felt self conscious about her hairline worrying about windy days blowing her locks back and revealing her forehead.
She decided to do something about her insecurity once-and-for-all and she visited a clinic in the Netherlands to get a hair transplant which would lower her hairline on her forehead.
The procedure cost her almost £2500 and she was so delighted with the results that she decided to set up her own company to help others gain the confidence they need.

She is now the founder of Beauty Gainz a company which offers all-inclusive hair transplant trips to Istanbul and Turkey.
This transplant gave her the ability to wear her hair in many new ways and she doesn't have to worry about covering her forehead when it gets windy.
During the procedure follicles were extracted from the back of her head which was shaved and individual hairs are were removed.
Then the grafts were placed into tiny cuts made elsewhere in the scalp to promote hair growth.
Sonja 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.
'I never expected this much interest but it's nice that I am able to help women who share the same insecurity that I had.
'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.'
