A woman who suffers from alopecia is celebrating the success of her mobile wig business.
Carly Barratt, 26, of Abbeyfield View, Colchester, decided to set up the business after finding a lack of services when she first started losing her hair.
After 18 months, her business is going strong and Mrs Barratt wants to set up a support group for other people suffering from the condition.
She said: "The business is going really well, and I've built up quite a few clients.
"I'm having some meetings soon with the hospital, and in future I may be providing wigs for all their patients who have cancer or alopecia."
